Hi guys a quick weekly update before the weekend.
This week I will be playing my first game with this army and though the miniatures aren’t finished and most of them don’t even have the detailing done to them yet, I decided that I really really wanted to start playing with them so that by the time I’m done I will have a firm grasp of how to use them to full effect.
So heres the final list for this weekend, I know the units aren’t optimal but I’m going for fluff over effectiveness.

No post would be complete without some picture updates so here’s how the dreadnought is coming.
I once read a quote from a famous sculpture whose name I no longer remember that said the strongest images are the ones that are recognizable in silhouette, and that’s the basic design philosophy that goes into all my models. With that in mind I’ve redesigned the gun arm for my dreadnought to this the final incarnation. Of particular note is the “organic” limb joint, I think it makes a nice contrast in the model having the mechanical limb attached organically and the organic arm attached mechanically.
Along with this redesign I needed to change the angle of the head so that the entire model was clearly directed in the same way.
