The December assembly

I spent a lot longer than I thought assembling all the models I acquired in 2017. In all it took 4 days of intense assembly to get everything together. I went wild in the UK mid-year, had a Bones II Kickstarter delivery, and picked up a few sundry models here and there.

They are all assembled now, though I can’t promise you’ll see them all painted in the next 12 months!

Here’s the full group shot:

And now here’s some closer shots of individual units and groups of models, starting with Shub-Niggurath:

Above her stand plague marines from the Dark Imperium box and the green ones are the easy-to-build add-ons. Plenty of detail on these models. They blend in to the terrain (also featured in this shot!) as I used the themed basing for all the plague marines that matches the terrain.

Along from there we can see a lot of poxwalkers, I think 26 in all. There’s a lot of detail on these models too and I look forward to experimenting with different washes when I get to these models. At the front and out of focus are a few Bones orcs, which needed their weapon arms glued into place.

At the lower level we see a genestealer hybrid gang, a squad of Adeptus Mechanicus Skitarii, and some Bones dragons and frost giants, along with yet more terrain.

Now that everything is put together, the painting can begin! I expect I will start with the terrain pieces, but we’ll see.
