The Pride Goes Muddin

After discovering it could take 28 days for my Forge World order to arrive (read the fine print, Ira), I decided to do a little extra work on the Pride of the Emperor custom chapter I've been building.  For all intents and purposes the army was done and playable, perhaps table top quality or even just a hair better.  Is any army really ever done, though?

Librarian Dreadnought

Land Raider Redeemer

As you can see I added some battle damage to the vehicles and a healthy supply of mud splatters.  The effect was easy to do and only took a couple of days to implement.  I've also ordered some Secret Weapon Leaf Litter packages to help spruce up the ruins bases of the troops (who have also received some battle damage).  When that arrives I'll be sure to add images of those as well.

It always amazes me what a few added details can do to help add character to the army!

  2. I just sent 3 rhinos based on your template into battle yesterday. They exploded violently, but make really cool terrain wrecks and gave us all a great laugh! Thanks!

    P.S. Could you do a tutorial on defilers?

    1. That's awesome! Shame the rhinos blew up, but they really are good at that. To build 3 Rhinos in that time, you must have flown through that tutorial!

      I can put Defilers on the 'to-do list'. I just got my Forge World order so I imagine I'll be quite busy updating my Eldar army for a while.
