These models were so simple to paint, which made them a bit monotonous. I’m pleased they’re done though, sometimes it’s nice to get the boring units done so you can look forward to the bigger kits. I’m thinking I might paint the Canoptek Spyder next to go with this unit. Stahly is working on a Dark Eldar Venom, and the Spyder is roughly the same size so that’s quite cool. Watch this space.

I didn't use these scarabs. They're too big. I used the smaller scarabs from the Tesseract Vault kit. I used a paper clip to create the path I wanted the Scarabs to follow and then I super glued and green stuffed each scarab to the wire. I just kept adding more and more scarabs until you couldn't see the wire anymore.

  Ah, thanks, but I actually meant these scarabs! I realise my first comment doesn't read properly – sorry. Thanks a mil.

@Garfy – As for your scarabs on the cryptek conversion, do you dot a bit of green stuff underneath them for these? Or did you just whack them on with some superglue?

I love small models that are quick to paint and fill the display cabinet, gives a nice sense of accomplishment 😉

It's just real slate super glued to the bases.

They look really good. I was wondering what you used for the rocks? I'm basing some woods and they would be perfect
