Yo, yo, yo, folks, coming outta left field something [almost] completely off list I have a Space Hulk Broodlord that I’ve been wanting to get painted for a while but given the variety of base sizes and purpose of the model – 40k/Space Hulk/Deathwatch Overkill I wanted to magnetise the base for versatility.
So far I’ve done my Death Storm Broodlord and Overwatch Patriarch on the bigger oval bases [though I’m not entering into the new base sizes for Carnifex]. However, the oval doesn’t work in Overkill and certainly won’t in Space Hulk [should I ever have the urge to play it]. So I decided to mount this one on a 40mm round base with magnets and a separate oval base that it can attach to. I also started to build up the surrounding oval with mounting card so it doesn’t look quite so ‘stuck on’.
I should probably even get some of those new skulls to try and continue his base theme but this has been one of those tasks that has long been in thought only and it took just a little effort to move it forward, five minutes here and there before starting my Deathwatch sessions and I’m then looking at getting it based and primed. This is definitely a model that can be painted between ‘real’ tasks just to add something familiar, comfortable and end up with a cool model when it’s done.
