Hah!<br /><br />@Agis: Indeed, there was a lot of hot water and dry-fitting involved, but even so some of the pieces just don't seem to line up as expected. It's a cool, albeit frustrating model to build I've found.<br /><br />@Bronislaw Czevak: Not yet, holding off until there's enough in the basket to qualify for free shipping. Saving up money for the upcoming Inferno release, knowing there's going to be a couple hundred bucks worth of books and minis that I'll definitely want to pick up!<br /><br />@Rory Priest: Indeed, was a rather good deal that I just couldn't pass up! Provides some assault flexibility to the force for sure!<br /><br />@Nick Thrower: Cheers! It's a great model that performs admirably on the tabletop, but requires some finesse and tools to assemble. ...And a bit of swearing. Hah!<br /><br />@#2501: Will do! This was a bit of a test, going to try a couple more to dial it in. I think in more striking colors (greens or blues) it may work better too. Experimentation ahoy!<br /><br />@Zzzzzz: Haha! Indeed - it's a perfect assault craft for the Wolves, certainly looks the part as well!<br /><br />@Catachan Commissar: Amen, brother. Waaaay not my forte, knew I'd be kicking myself at this stage in the army. Oof.<br /><br />@Dai: Thanks! It was mostly just messing around with sponges and streaking, and a couple reference images of marble from good old image search! Good call, some further tufts will help break up the putting green effect. Cheers!<br /><br />@Siph_Horridus: Thanks man! Curses to Real Life(tm)!<br /><br />@Zab: Haha! Oh I'm more or less vibrating with excitement, knowing that both Inferno from FW and the Prospero box from GW are just on the horizon. My wallet cringes in terror with the incipient FW order!<br /><br />@Rob Hill: Thanks man! It's been a new experience for me, never really tried a big ol' terrain piece like this. It's been a fun challenge though!<br /><br />Thanks very much for all the kind words, everyone!Mordian7thhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721613951987981892.post-43727412902632696992016-09-28T16:58:50.018-06:002016-09-28T16:58:50.018-06:00Looks cracking mate!

I think the idea with paired armies for the display is really good as it gives some more sense to the scene, especially if arranged in an attack formation and not as a regimental muster.<br /><br />When assembling the torso to my warlord I found it useful to heat the larger resin parts with a hair dryer before pressing them into place, making it easier to get a snug fit. I am however not sure how that would work against plastics.<br /><br />Anyway, I am sure you will make it.<br />Agishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05355576788771116401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721613951987981892.post-10816569807207651052016-09-27T20:35:50.485-06:002016-09-27T20:35:50.485-06:00The display board is going to look fantastic with ...The display board is going to look fantastic with the two forces opposing each other! <br /><br />I'm trying to put one together at the moment for my Sons of Horus, have to get a wriggle on as it's not far away now and I don't want it to look rushed. <br /><br />The LR looks great man, I hide any bogus line highlights I do with a bit of sponge chipping, can end up making it a little more battle worn than you might want though. echoesfromthewastelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03010617510876887170noreply@blogger.com
