I think the Slaaneshy might be slightly overtuned in Tides of Torment.

I'm finally playing Void War, the 40k-like/FTL-like, and it's great. Everything I expected from the collision of chocolate and peanut butter.

My sicarian-serberys cyborg-centaur

I liked the idea of the interex, a centaur-ish species that I heard about while going through the heresy books, so what if my admech also heard about them and tried to create something along those lines themselves?

What a legend. What a legacy.
Thank you Vince.

The morph of the week is the "nightmare bridge". Nick did the initial pass and I tweaked the morph to make it more weird and "tentacely". This whole sequence is one of my favorites in the game.

First two chaos spawn of Slaanesh and Tzeentch.
Two more deity spawns to go with liquid bases.
Happy with how these guys turned out so far.
First time using white Tamiya epoxy and rolling plate.
