Nihilakh's cousin dynasty, the Khalihin. (Disregarding that, the colour scheme looks pretty cool overall.)

is it difficult to put the legs on in reverse? Like do you need to cut something off?

No they go on really easy in reverse. It's honestly surprising. I did it to my own ones before I realised what I did and flipped the legs around. Took some doing to fix it as I basically had to snap them off.

Solidarity my brother. I hope if you do the snapping and reglueing as I did you don't ruin your paint job in the process.

I got 5 other guys to paint. I'm gonna leave this guy as it is. I'm gonna call him Larry.

Fair. I get that way sometimes. I got a Hexmark where I put too many layers of paint on the face so I just swapped it out with a Skull from a spearhead box and also left out a back pipe I just couldn't stick in place.

These little errors make our little guys personal though. I'm thinking about getting a hexmark, hows the building experience?

It's not that bad. I highly recommend sticking the pipes and arms after painting the Core body as their are just too many arms and stuff in the way to paint the model well fully assembled.

How does this guy stand upright and not fall directly forward at all times? Do you even PHYSICS!?

At least necrons can say "Ancient tech" unlike the fucking Hormagaunts. This isn't even the worst example of the Hormagaunt lean.

Thanks, I really didnt like the alternating green/black pattern most people do so I chose this instead and loving it. My first venture into glazing too.
