Broodlord Conversion!

Nick speaking, Although the new Broodlord mini is awesome, I already have one in the set pose the model comes with. No ball and socket joints and a fixed head is a slight downside to the mini, but I am really happy with what I came up with. Rotating the mini so that he stands on the spine in the opposite direction was a good starting point...

Super Phalanx Decurion List

Nick speaking, Time to bring my 'Super Phalanx' list concept into the Decurion, and for those of you that are not aware of the concept behind the list, it is pretty simple. The core is based around one big blob of Warriors and an Overlord, backed up by a couple of Ghost Arks. This use to be pretty hard to take down with RP rolls and then...
