I like what you've done with the wire on the gaunts! (though putting them at more interesting angles would probably have added more)

all the painting seems good, my only real problem with them is the base. the board is really cool, but the bases are just flat and.. brown.

also get a carnifex or 3 :^D

umm... i dont actually like carnifexes... *GASP* ... in fact only reason i took any TMC is cause i wanted a distraction... And bases are coming... right now i completed my first goal like i said... which was to paint the army, the bases were not done sooner, cause i only JUST recently got my green stuff to do them... (36" worth)

I don't really like Gaunts they are so small. I do enjoy rippers because I don't do them much. No comments about my name please. It's a sarcasm thing.

i actually prefer them cause they can handle a diverse amount of enemies, since i frequently play almost all types of armies. and since a the squad i have typically kills 7 space marines a turn in combat assuming no losses... that means i outnumber them 8 to 1 which translates into a leadership test at -5, which further translates into a likely lost leadership test and failed break away test which means they take 4 extra armour saves... ultimately leading to two remaining, leaving me tied in combat.

but the best part about them is that if you spread them out properly you can assault the entire front line, creating a mass of "area Terrain" which blocks line of sight for all models on the same level, and if you do it right only raised mini's, tanks, monstrous creatures and other such things can see over combat to shoot, and even then some will only be limited to say... hive tyrant!... so yeah i like gaunts (and yes... a close combat brawl counts as area terrain that is impassable and you are not allowed to enter within 1 " of enemy models unless assaulting.)

I have seen this massacre an eldar army first turn as shooting took out one flank, the assault took out the three guardian squads at 12 inches (lucky fleet btw) and then massacred into a few aspect warrior squads, which did not do enough to win the day so by the start of the second turn, with thier leaping warriors making the assault and shooting finishing anything untied in combat off.... yeah we see demonstrated very clearly why Iyanden was almost destroyed.
