I am Iron Man

Animosity events have a history of easter egg units, and Apocalypticon is no different. Scott asked me to print two sets of pokeballs, in small and large sizes, with room inside for a piece of paper. I did this and we then had a mechanism for Trazyn the Infinite to deploy units from his collection to the battle. The smaller balls were mounted on a base and became table top objectives. Once one was captured, one of the larger balls was drawn from a bag, and the paper slip inside said which unit was deployed to the battle. One such units was 20 Men of Iron - STL versions of UR-025 from Blackstone Fortress. I duly provided these. The reason we have 2 paint schemes is that I started with the silver one, but we though this was too close to the the Necrons themselves, so switched. I was rushed when painting these, so didn't repaint the first 4, so now their leader units, or something. Also the painting is very simple, this was completed a day or two before I was due to travel and I still had loads of scenery to do.
