Saturday 40K: Comparative Scales

Given at present I have over a dozen box games to continue - or in many cases, start - painting, I've made the obvious choice, and returned to adding to my already swollen 'Nid force.

Here is the Maleceptor I painted last year, and a Tyrant Guard I finished a few days ago.




The Tyrant Guard has yet to see combat, partially because of its newness, but also because of the frustrating decision to increase the minimum size of their unit from one to three. This is my second, but until I finish the third (sometime in spring at this rate), there's not much to be done with them except use them for paperweights.

The Maleceptor, on other hand, has already racked up a few kills. You'll notice the butchered Space Wolf Terminator on its base. That's a reference to my mate Dave's army, who I usually finding myself facing. In its debut the Maleceptor wandered forward for a bit before being torn apart by wolves, but in its second game it fared much better, exploding the brains of all and sundry as part of a psyker-spam army.

Dave has sworn revenge...
