Hive Fleet Sneggy

[sneggy]

So I thought I would share with you something of a rarity around these parts and indeed anywhere in the world. I have painted a Maleceptor. 





I have used it in three games so far. Even killed something with its psychic power (a broadside, handy kill)
I have won all 3 games I have used it and have a tournament a week on Saturday, kind of tempted to make #MaleceptorShame a thing. This tournament is being run by some local guys and last time I won the tournament. Got a crown to defend, think I can fit a crown on that spikey head?

Man that is such a great model and wonderful paint job, the turquoise "brains" are a great touch- nice to hear he's not a complete liability - maleceptor shame is a nice title. Yes he definitely needs some sort of carapace crown [or if he messes up too much one you can swap for a clown hat mid game ] .

"You're some kinda big fat smart bug aren't you!"
Nicely done man. Looks great. If you can get him to work for you, all the better. :-)

[sneggy]

Thanks guys.

I think work might be too ambitious. For now I'll aim at 'doesn't suck so bad he drags everyone else down with him'

[sneggy]

So not posted in a little while, some updates on what I'm doing for 40k.

Played 5 games now with my Maleceptor. Hes um...not doing terribly.

To this stage he has:
Killed a riptide and 2 broadsides, whilst acting as a synapse anchor for my force when the rest of my synapse died.

Held backfield objectives and hung out with the hive guard and venomthrope effectively winning me a game.

Killed 10 (yes 10) Necron Praetorians using his power and some combat. Then killed 3 lychguard and proceeded to take 6 maelstrom points in one game.

Waddled about and not actually achieved anything (mostly because my Flyrant, fexes and shrikes went on a rampage and everything was dead before he got close.)

Watched from the back whilst my first run at #lictorshame dominated someone and again game was over before he got close.

So I'm 5-0 in games with Maleceptors, him played a decent role in 3 of those 5 games. I know statistically he sucks but for me hes actually performing pretty well.

So onto what I'm doing with models now. I've been working towards lictorshame, built some of my own lictors out of warrior kits with venomthrope and genestealer parts. Also been working on some genestealers (just tidying up some models I own, I might have a swing at the manufactorum formation though in the future.)
Then I've picked up a couple of the mawloc/trygon boxes and am looking to start work on those shortly. Aiming for two mawlocs but also magnetised so I can do the ludicrous Trygon Prime with reaper of obliterax build. Because why wouldn't you want a 30ft tall snake monster WITH A SWORD.

And some picturs for those faithful enough to have read this far.










Once I got going that turned into a bit of a mish mash photo dump.
So we have the broodlord I've been working on, some shrikes I did to add to my unit, all my shrikes together (all are magnetised for all close combat configurations in any combination)
Then we also have my converted lictors, and some shots of a game I played vs my friends blood angels.

Hope everyone likes everything, appreciative constructive comments and feedback.

Very nice progress on the army overall, and good to see some action shots too!

I really like the Maleceptor model so it's cool to hear you're finding it effective. Can I ask if you roll to hit or not with his focused witchfire?

[sneggy]

Ha ha yes I roll to hit with the witch fire. I'm not sure how that even became a debate tbh, to my reading of it it's perfectly clear cut.
The maleceptor is one of those things for me, I play tournaments and he likely won't be getting in a tournament list anytime soon, however I also play casually with friends and he's a cool model so he gets in for those games and the dice just seem to be hot for him at the moment.
I do have a Christmas tournament that's a bit more just for fun and giggles coming up which I might run manufactorum, deathleapers assassins brood and the maleceptor in just to see how horrendously it can go.

NECRO! sneggy Please fix pictures (or take new ones) so we can look upon the champion fleet!

[sneggy]

Ha ha I’m on my phone right now but I took some pics at the event so I’ll upload some new stuff for you tomorrow.

[sneggy]

Only a week later than advertised I bring you a terrible picture of my army! I'll get some more taken when time permits and show it off a bit more.


I've also got pics of a bunch of the other armies in the spoiler below:
