A Poseidon Dropship, 2 squads of Immortals and a Triton Dropship join the fray.


The PHR left flank swoops in.


2 squads of PHR Sirens disembarked prior to securing critical Intel, Overwatched by a Menchit, Zeus, 2 Ares and 2 squads of Immortals.


Fleet Command monitors the action from orbit.

The Horror Coalesces...

The majority of the Mortis Engine spirit swarm is finally finished.


If you look closely you can see the clear acrylic pin I added to provide extra support when assembling the model to it's base.


Next up, adding the spirit swarm's separately painted weapons and the finished base!
