These models rock. They're fun, very cool looking and actually a blast to play in game. They scare the crap out of opponents and under night fight can run up a flank relatively unmolested. The whole time I assembled them I kept thinking of tasty prawns or shrimp. My wife probably didn't appreciate me chasing her around the house with them shouting "Space Shrimp"!
Here's some shots of the first 5 I painted up. What a really cool kit, I give the GW sculpters some major props. They captured that creepy look almost out of the Matrix movies.
I think I might do a 2nd squad of 5. The sad thing is they compete against scarabs for fast attack slots. I wish I could run 4 slots, that would be sweet to be able to do both!
Only a little more time until 6th edition!
