These guys are due by midnight, Saturday, and I am playing on a team tournament all day SAT. Pretty much got five days to finish them off.

This deadline is bearing down on me, but it is my own fault. I will prevail! Here are a few more base coat pics:

In addition, I had it so that whomever won the most Cities of Death victories in the first round got to claim the Hive City tile, Halcyon 5. It was a draw between myself and one other player, and so we rolled off. I ended up getting the hive, go Dark Angels!

Your's truly and his Ven Dred proved hard to kill so a bounty was placed on him by our bug player, Steve. Pat, from this blog right here, collected the bounty in hail of Long Fang fire, and was paid accordingly:
