Fire Hawks. OWAC February

The Mantis Warriors had halted their retreat and dug in around a munitions depot. In desperation they had abandoned movement and flexibility that played to their Chapters skills in exchange for safety and a chance to survive.They had chosen well, It’s wall were thick and has been built to endure fire from without or an explosion from within. It would need more firepower than the Fire Hawks that harried them carried. 

But the Fire Hawks were not alone and as their forward units encircled the position, armoured drop pods were already burning their way down from low orbit deployment. A hammer was needed to break the Mantis Legion and Warden Tyrak would be that bright strike and lay open the way.

February started as a short month,  but with various commitments I knew that I had even less time for painting so it ended up a quite a mismash but ended up enough.




Techmarine. 
Settled on a scheme with mainly red and metal with one chapter armour section. I might go back at some point and add some more detail like hazard stripes etc.

Doctor Who. Dominators 1

 


I have started watching the Second Doctor and picked out a couple of the stories to build some figure sets around (yes, I know I still haven't finished off the Robot group yet!) and have started off with the Dominators. my Plan is for some Quarks, Dominators which will be a Black Tree purchase and some Dulsians. I already have the Second Doctor so will also need to pick up his companions Jamie and Zoe.

Both Black Tree and Warlord Games have figures for the Dominators and Quarks but will stick with Black tree due to the size and I have been able to find some files for the Quarks I can 3D Print.




Squeaky robot voices that remind me of the Toclafane and fold away design, but they have grown on me! 


3D files were made to fit in with the 5" collectable ranges but have shrunk down well


Quark units!


sized up next to the Second Doctor (WIP) a little larger than in the show
