Antares – X-Launcher, Batter Drones

This photo is suspiciously similar to this one. With the unpacking slowing down at home, we have more time to get back into our regular “wife watches TV while I paint” routine!

Nothing new, paint scheme-wise on these guys. Just the more I paint the same models, the more you get to know the ins-and-outs of common features. They all have these bits of leg armour that I’ve had a hell of a time getting shaded correctly, and the more I did it the more the shading just seemed to work out.

If you’re near Vancouver, Canada you should come to the CHOP! of Antares tournament this weekend. Here’s a Facebook event with some details. These guys are the last models in the 750 list I have planned.

My list is something like this:

  • 3x Strike Squads with Plasma Lance, Spotter Drone 125 each = 375
  • Strike Command Squad with Medi-Drone, 2 extra troopers = 174
  • 2x Support Team with X-Launcher, All munitions, Batter Drone, Spotter Drone 85 each = 170

Which is 719 points. I think I have another roster at work that finishes off the last 30 points, but if it doesn’t look awesome I’ll be heading into the Army Options section of the book to find something to use there!

This army is not at all optimized for the scenarios. We’re playing scenario 3, which needs fast moving models and I don’t have any and I know it, because I’ve played scenario 3 a bunch. But I didn’t want to buy more models until I’d played with what I had. 🙂
