YTHIRIL WILD HUNTER HOST

WINDRIDER

Riding out in close formation.

I've finished the first squad, and had a delightful time. I really liked this kit, even if I ran into some... Problems with my magnetisation. The weapon hole is an awkward size for the magnets I have left over from basing all my Tau, and even more awkwardly my drill bit doesn't fit my hand drill, so I had to do it manually. As such, the guns aren't quite level, with one of them unfortunately droopy. Oh well. 

Ultimately, I shouldn't have bothered. I've checked the rules and in 10th there's little reason not to take the Shuriken Cannon, especially because it's also the best looking option. I suppose I'll be good to go if they bring points back in 11th.

The gradient is pretty close, though looking now I think I used a slightly different paint mix for the test rider.

I'm not likely to do more of these until next year, but when I do I'm planning to grab some Shroud Runners. I plan to take one of every bike unit - well, every modern-ish bike unit, I think I'll wait on that Autarch - including the Harlequins, who I'm currently trying to source some alternate heads for. I like the idea of having them be more wild hunt themed, get some deerskull masks in there, some antlers. We'll see what I can dig up.
