The standard of puns around here is shocking. I'm going ohm.
With a mere ten models of Blackstone left to do (and nothing else in the pile), my productivity has dropped off the scale. Stylus has outperformed me with ease in the last two months as I dawdled my way through these five. He's also outplayed me in a number of battles, but that's surely not related.
Don't know that I achieved it, frankly. In fact, trying to get even busier by trying to paint them all as Electro has probably made it worse, but I enjoyed the challenge at least.
In game, I have yet to see these guys do anything but die in droves. They get a special save against damage that improves when they're in packs, and they can do a lot of damage fast if they reach you. Probably just means we're giving them priority in targeting, but they have generally been a damp squib so far. Not like the Rogue Psykers! Man, they're nasty.
These crossed wires happen to them all the time in the close confines of Blackstone lifts. |
I still haven't got around to my first set of them, so you're way ahead of me!
ReplyDeleteWhen I do get to them, I'm planning on borrowing Megavolt's colour scheme (from Darkwing Duck), which is much simpler than Electro's ;)
I had to look him up, my otherwise exhaustive knowledge of 80s cartoons failed me! Good looking scheme, and much simpler (and probably much more effective).
ReplyDeleteYour knowledge of 80s cartoons failed you because Darkwing Duck was from the early 90s! ;)
DeleteNOOOOO! It's NOT POSSIBLE!
DeleteAlso, this got me somewhat motivated, and I've started working on them again. Doing all the little plugs on the ends of the various cables may burn me out, but I'm making some good progress on them so far. Thanks!
DeleteGods, yes, those are hideous, and exactly what u mean about a busy model! I had originally thought to do black stripes on the yellow cables, but just couldn't face it. I can always go back and do them later (he lies to himself glibly).
