After playing some excellent games of Legions Imperialis on the weekend, I've decided some reinforcements are in order. Need more pew pew for my tiny EC lads.

Another squad of Emperor's Children completed. This time it's the Flawless Blades. They are a really fun unit to paint with lovely detail and with exposed skin on the arms and midriff, make for a nice change of pace from the normal marines. Next up, the noise marine contingent.

Still painting up Emperor's Children and having a blast all the while. They are fantastic models to paint and build.

My EC scheme looking glam I reckon. It'll certainly stick out on the tables of grim dark and is easily replicable. A bit of 30k meets 40k.

So it begins... again. My second Emperor's Children army this year, this time for 40k. Using @warhipster.bsky.social 's lovely pink recipe. I'm gonna paint them as Xantine's warband from the Lord of Excess novel, that is pink and purple with gold trim - deliciously decadent.

Painted the last of the characters I have for the MOTU game. Now there's just Castle Grayskull to go!

And with Scare-Glow painted, the entire Box of Power for the Masters of the Universe boardgame is now complete! 61 models!
I'm so pleased with how this project has come out. Each model presented small challenges to overcome, such as finding a good glow in the dark look for the models.

More Skeletors!
This box set has some serious deep cut characters, but perhaps none as deep cut as Skeletor's mini clones!

He-Man and Clamp Champ get some paint.
Making my way through the good guys before I get to the bad guy half of The Box of Power! Using contrast paints, I'm speeding through them essentially. Not intended to win painting awards or anything. With this many models in the box, it's so fun and diverse.

Now painting up heroes from the amazing Box of Power from the Masters of the Universe boardgame from CMON.
In this bunch is Man at Arms, The Sorceress, Extendar, Snout Spout and Moss Man. Oh the puns! I love He Man. So fun 😁.

Playing Legion Imperialis at my store today! Gosh it's a really good game with little down time for players, orders and alternating activations instead of turns, and a simple structure where you don't spend ages flicking between books.
Dare I say it, GWs best game?

Laying down base paints on the Snake Men from Masters of the Universe and am reminded how wonderful these 80s toylines were with their psychadelic colour wheels.
