More Kataphrons. And I swear these will be the last ones...

Hi Folks,

 

Yes, these are going to be the last Kataphrons I include in my army on purpose. This addition will raise my count to a fourth unit:

  • one unit of 3 Destroyers with grav cannon and flamer
  • one unit of 6 Destroyers with plasma culverin and blaster
  • one unit of 3 Breachers with arc gun and hydraulic claw
  • and as the latest addition this unit of 3 Breachers with arc gun and arc claw

 

These were coming with a Boarding Patrol - on sheer discount - and were not really desired; or at least not on the top 3 of my buying list*. But, hey, here they were!

Close up are not too fancy. I sticked tio the paint scheme of the rest of the force.

My only extravagance has been for the last one, passing over a wrecked chimera panel.

This leaves me only with the Skitarii foot troopers to be painted from this box. They will be fitted with the FW Secutarii hoplite kit. The resin parts has been soaped to remove molding liquid and everything is ready to be primed. But this will go in my April pledge for 1 Year of Hobby.

 

 

Let´s see you soon once more stuff will be added to my Admechs.

 

* List includes Marshall, Serberys riders and Negavolt Cultists as proxi for Corpuscarii Priests.

 

** Just realized that these chaps' sprue has been designed in 2014. It's their 10th year birthday! It is therefore more and more likely they could be redesigned before I might buy some more "accidentaly".

No. No way. I started this AdMech force based on a "Rule of cool" as a primary focus. And 6oo15 Kataphrons I have were not necesarily desired. They came with the boxed sets.

The only ones I really bought on purpose were the ones in my first Patrol set and the ones in an Extermination Maniple set.

All the other ones were induced buys... So, no way to go and buy more; even on bargain on Ebay. I am a little bit fed up with Kataphrons´painting.

 

Yet, in the hypothesis that the same bargain might apply to some Kastellans or Sidonian dragoons (unassemblied, otherwise they wil be delivered in small broken pieces and chunks...)... I might eventually be giving it a though. These kits have a nice outlook but are definitively too expensive.
