It's the final, and main, part if the 40k crate sprue that I've taken a surprisingly long time to finish.
I think that's what happens when you don't spray or airbrush something this size, even the undercoat.
It's a pleasingly chunky piece of terrain and suitably 40k, where even a transport unit features gothic arches, an unecessary amount of weapons and more skulls than you can shake a stick at.
I'm not sure about the pintle mounted storm bolters, and I noticed that most people leave them off to allow for stacking.
However, I don't think I'll be getting too many more of them, so that shouldn't be a problem.
I decided to paint it blue (The Fang drybrushed with Blue Horror) just to add a bit of colour to the grim darkness of the 41st millennium.
I can't see me using this for anything other than 40k. It is so VERY Warhammer in its style.
In other news, Matt and I have been playing through the opening campaign for the Arkham Horror Card Game, The Night of the Zealot.
After dealing with a ghoul infestation in my basement (which may have involved burning the house down) in part 1, The Gathering, we proceeded to hunt cultists through Arkham in part 2, The Midnight Masks.
We weren't entirely successful, as you might be able to determine from the amount of damage taken by my investigator, Roland Banks.
We now have to face the final part, the somewhat ominously titled The Devourer Below, with less than perfect preparation.
I'm sure it will be fine...
I mention all this because I'm using playing Arkham Horror to tick one of my Hobby Bingo holes off. It doesn't technically have a board, but it's boardgamey enough for me.
Amazingly, there wasn't a 'paint a crate' goal.
Having painted the crate, my number remain rather static, as I took delivery of another two custom miniatures I ordered last year.
That should be it for legacy purchases ruining my numbers, but I still have Christmas money left, so we're not out of the woods yet.
Acquired: 22
Painted: 19
Nicely done
