Everybody’s favorite spider lady joins my collection, forming the core of my Divergent Paths Shifting Loyalties campaign crew at the LGS. Her ranged Wp attack has been surprisingly effective.
Widow Weaver
I somehow lost the top of her head during assembly, so I made a new one out of a blob of green stuff and tried to blend it in. The pink and blue is a bit garish. It reminds me a bit of Kaylee’s Shindig dress from Firefly, which seems appropriate for someone trying to fit in and obviously failing.
Still the sucker for limited editions, I made the required purchase for alt Barbaros at Black Friday last year. In the fluff, Barbaros had his wings cut, but he still gets them in this sculpt for whatever reason. This version stayed over the base better than the original one, so it should be a little easier to transport.
I may not have posted for a while, but I’ve been busy painting. First up, the Phoenix command gunship for Dropzone Commander.
Phoenix (top)
I decided to pose it with the missile bays all the way open. I’m not sure it’s a great look, and probably would do it closed if I were paint another.
Phoenix (bottom)
Like so many of the UCM aircraft, the underside of the model looks way cooler than the top. Lots of engine detail, a second canopy, and targeting array are hidden down below.
All the cool kids tell me how awesome this model is in game, though I have to admit I miss the Kodiak when I use it. This can do quite a bit of damage, but the Kodiak’s orbital strike can usually delete one key model a turn.
Killjoy had been just below the cutoff on my buy list for such a long time. I’m glad I finally picked him up.
Killjoy
He’s a pretty straightforward model, although I’m sure I’ll snap off the chain before too long. I got to do some blood effects, and I like the mottled texture the skin ended up with.
I’ve only gotten in one game with Killjoy, paired with Pere Ravage. Ravage ran up, as usual, then when he blew Killjoy was ready to mop up any and all survivors. Of course, that made up nearly 40% of my crew, so ought to be good.
