Apocalypse Lords - Black Eagle Team

Recommended Posts

Sooo, if you happened to catch the discussion in Amicus about scouts and Landspeeder Storms, you'll know that I had a hankerin' to put a fun unit together just to have some giggles with.

 

Below is the results of the first part of the exercise, a five man Scout squad with shot guns and a combi-flamer. This unit probably will never be seen in a 'Ard Boyz tournament, but that wasn't the point. I wanted something unusual to play with that people wouldn't see all that often...unless it ends up being hugely successful and everyone wants to copy the idea....yeah right. :jaw:

 

Anyway, here's the squad which I am calling my "Black Eagle" team. Why Black Eagle? No clue. It sounded SPEC OPS-ish and I could sort of paint the icon on their shoulders. Unfortunately, the glare from my lamp pretty much washed out the eagle icon I put on their right shoulder pads. At some point when I get the entire unit done, I'll try and post some better pictures.

 

So here you go...

This is a powerfisted Sergeant that I don't really foresee playing all that much, but I built him quite awhile ago and I figured I'd lump him in with the squad for giggles.

Now I'm off to work on their ride, the LS Storm, which has been a fairly enjoyable build so far.

 

C&C appreciated.

 

Cheers,

Can i suggest taking some individual pictures, in daylight with no flash?

 

Yes you may and yes I will. We should have some sunshine tomorrow (been raining a lot down heah).

 

And thanx all for the feedback. I kind of like how they turned out, sort of a cross between ninjas and Navy SEALs...and I will report back on how they do, they will be in a game on Monday.

 

Cheers,

I feel the need for speed!

 

Well, I finished the Black Eagle Teams Landspeeder Storm and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

 

I know, it has camoflage. It's Ok, I wanted it to. This will most likely be a special, one of a kind unit in my army and I wanted to do something unusual. I highly recommend the kit. It goes together well and if you follow the instructions (unlike I did) you'll get to skip all the odd things I had to do to complete the model. I'm sure there's a lesson in there somewhere.

The guy on the left "hanging ten" has been magnetized so that I can take him off for easier transport and if he gets bumped, nothing breaks.
