Thanks a lot! I bought one of the Skaven assassins from one of the Warhammer Quest games (I think?) and the idea of the tail holding the gun using a horn to balance just sort of came to me. It's more balanced on the top of his head unfortunately: it was super hard getting the gun to sit up there.

My inspiration, just replace "wooden" with "tentacle." Maybe I should make the hollow left eye a tentacle too... |

These are fantastic. Scorpion tail gunner has a great shooting platform, but he's almost certainly deaf.

These look great, again the modeling is really, really good.
I think it would be funny for my Genestealer Cult to fight your Genes- *cough* Inquisitorial Renegades some time. Ambushes within Ambushes

But, I mean, he's a mutant rebelling against the Imperium. He has bigger problems. These look great, again the modeling is really, really good. I think it would be funny for my Genestealer Cult to fight your Genes- *cough* Inquisitorial Renegades some time. Ambushes within Ambushes The Mutant Liberation Front will not countenance your four armed emperor! The Emperor has two arms (according to some, he apparently coughs a lot and is maybe very sickly). I imagine a GSC mirror match would be fighting to go second. |

I imagine a GSC mirror match would be fighting to go second. It's weird because if you get top of 2, then you could potentially wreck their back line but then they can wreck yours or counter ambush your stuff. Never mind that we both would place Ambush markers and reveal at the same time LOL Actually, player with first turn would reveal first then move so the player with second could go. Yeah, it would be a fight to go second. |

Yeah, I mean, whoever goes first will have the first turn of shooting, but won't have the ambush advantage. Both are kind of good depending on the build. And, yeah, whoever goes first will be able to tunnel deep strike first.
I have about 650 points built. I just got in a box of neophytes and acolytes, so that should let me get up to around 800 once I get around to more converting.

I've finished my first full troops squad, the beastmen shotgun neophytes. The picture has the final nine that I had to build, and the second picture has the whole squad of fifteen.   |

I really dig that "abominant" action pose. As ever, I am floored by these kitbashes. Once they are painted and ready you need to post them on the internet and reap all of the sweet upvotes
Is your army's actual name the Mutant Liberation Front or is the name still in decision.

Thanks! The abominant conversion is based off of a vampire conversion I saw on the Ex Profundis blog, which has a lot of cool stuff on it. One of the guys who posted stuff there used to come up to the Dojo for Necromunda when there was a small group of us playing. He made some amazing navigators. I was originally planning on using Mutant Liberation Front as the name for them due to the acronym being the same as that of the Multilateral Force (and that because of a song by Tom Lehrer mocking it), but since I've realized it is also some sort of X-Men thing so I'll probably change it. In any case, I made two more Mutant Acolytes with heavy weapons: a rock drill and a rock saw.  |

Just a couple more mutants, two mining lasers and a sergeant for an neophyte squad.   |
