My intent was for these to serve a dual purpose - when I don't use the fortifications, it frees up the turrets to use on my Chimeras (should the situation call for it). I was surprised at how little flash there was to clean off these models. Usually FW stuff comes with significant resin plugs left over from the casting process that require I break out the Dremel. In this case, a pair of clippers, an exacto knife and a little sandpaper did the trick. Easiest clean up I've done!
Not that I really need more inquisitors, I couldn't pass up the Hector Rex and retinue set - they are simply beautiful sculpts. The pictures on the FW website don't really flatter the retinue figs, but they're actually pretty nice in person. You can definitely tell that the set was made by two different sculptors however. All in all, it should be a fun little unit to paint.At the moment they're just assembled and washed, I'll let them air dry overnight and primer them tomorrow - it's supposed to be a beautiful day!

That Hector Rex has been calling my name. Resist... resist! Those emplacements will come in quite handy too I bet.
ReplyDeleteExcellent mate, looking forward to seeing those emplacements painted up.
ReplyDeleteFunny how Forge world stuff is either there in a fews days or does not show up until you have forgotten the order. I guess if it is instock you are fine but that the production on demand part of the business is really behind.
ReplyDeleteIndeed - this order took almost a month to get here. Definitely atypical compared to previous experiences. I'm thinking that something was on backorder, which could explain the delay. Nevertheless, the quality of the product more than makes up for the delay in shipping!
ReplyDeleteHow did you find rules for the heavy bolter emplacements? Where do you find them, because I have my own turret and I could use the stats of the tarantula sentry buy they're a bit lame.
