I don't know how this week turned into some kind of Cryx painting week, but I seem to have been painting away at the little undead buggers, despite not having played a game in a few weeks. The Helldiver, while not the most impressive 'Jack in the Cryx armory, almost won me a Warmachine league by being burrowing his merry way onto an objective and staying put throughout an eight player game of King of the Hill. I tried to give him the look of popping out of the ground in his pose and basing. He's not a great 'Jack, but he's not a bad pickup some days for three points.
That's the thing; three points to deliver a slam or headbutt to where you want it and not lose the 'jack on the way in unless there's something that damages you during your own movement in play (which is seldom) is sometimes a very very good investment indeed. I use them to set up assassination runs for armies lacking DEF debuffs, like most of my Asphyxious lists.
ReplyDeleteThings are looking great! Keep up the good work. You're really churning them out. I've got to get some of my recent Khador models posted up.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I've been torn between working on these and finishing up the Beastmen!
