I may be picking up a Coronus Grav Carrier soon as well, so I'm pretty excited to get some Custodes infantry on the table top. I had done the majority of the work on these guys several months ago but I'm finally just getting to the last couple details and since I'm on a hobby-high from the recent trip, it's time to get these guys done. They're intentionally only painted to a tabletop standard but I'll probably put a little extra work into the Dread when it's time.<br />

I'm also using this project as a jumping off point to try a new textural blending style I learned while taking a class with Roman from Massive Voodoo. The red shoulder pads is a good place to start this but I'll be doing this on the Dread and Vehicles to come on all the red and gold areas. I think k it's going to make them all look like the ancient advanced soldiers they are.</div>

We just wrapped up Saturday night of NOVA Open and it's been amazing. I got to take classes with Roman from Massive Voodoo, paint an unbelievable amount of minis for the 30k Team Tournament, where our team "Two fools who laugh at death" (if you don't know the reference it's time to watch the original Conan the Barbarian) won the best sportsman award, we've played tons of pickup games, attended GW seminars, scoured the vendor hall for bits, and made repeated visits to the Forgeworld booth.<br />
<br />
More to come, but for the meantime here's a pic from the 30k doubles event which was one of the most exciting games I've ever played. While leading my Iron Hands, with their brothers in arms The Salamanders at their sides, Ferrus Manus and his cohorts fought valiantly against an impressive Emperor's Children army. It ended with a win but not before Fulgrim decapitated his brother Ferrus in a martial showdown for the ages.<br />

I've taken a break from the stormbird to do a couple easier small projects though I've been thinking about trying to get the landing gear completely built before I take a longer break from work in the big flier.<br />
<br />
I built a few MK 3 Marines for 30k/40k including a plasma support squad.<br />

I've also mostly wrapped up work on my first five custodes. I expect to have anywhere from five to fifteen more down the road. Still working on the blades of the weapons but I'm trying to mimic the effect the 'Eavy Metal has done, I may bud to mute the brightness a little but we'll see how they look once I add some crackling electricity.<br />

Finally I've started making a few custom bases to match my existing DragonForce bases. These are for a couple Iron Hands Astartes and my 40k admech force. I'll have some pics of them soon.<br />

<br />
The engine nozzles we're foremost in the list tedious items to build. Again, taking lessons <a href="http://www.lounge.belloflostsouls.net/showthread.php?15743-Blackadder-s-Scratchbuilt-Thunderhawk/page23" target="_blank">Blackadder's Thunderhawk scratchbuild</a>, I started with some generic Target brand mouthwash caps. After a little sanding I measured the cap into three segments and made a guide mark every third ridge of the cap. Then about a weeks' work of meticulous cutting and gluing of 1mm by 1mm styrene bar, first in half inch pieces down the length of the cap followed bending and wrapping with the same size styrene around the cap at the base of these half inch pieces. Yeah it was as tedious as it sounds.<br />
<br />

I also added a cone to the inside of of the completed nozzle, just in case anyone looks in there. Eventually there will be some LED effects so this may be seen at that stage.</div>

Finally, I was able to get the pivoting arm for the front landing gear built and integrated into the gear housing. There will need to be an arm that runs the length of the vehicle and ties into the rear gear so I can control it with one mechanical operation. Bearing in mind that this finicky piece may have problems down the road I decided to make it removable via screws. I built some recessed screw holes for the outside of the gear housing and wrapped the nuts with styrene so they could be glued in place with plastic glue on the inside of the Stormbird. </div>

Not a lot to looks at but this stuff sure took a long time to get together. The next tedious task is to build the rear landing gear which will be a lot harder since I need to make the same components twice and keep things as exact as possible. Hopefully I'll have that and the final engines build before the new year.</div>

I've also begun building the landing gear feet and hinged arms. Ultimately the landing gear will be servo controlled so I'm going to begin building the mechanical components that will raise and lower the gear. I want to have a single servo control the front and rear landing gear so I'm going to have to figure out a lever system to get a longer range of motion since the rear gear sits higher on the hull. I won't be adding electronics till most everything cosmetic is done but I've left enough room to run wires for servos and LEDs and I'll be managing the rods and gears to run everything now.</div>

Once the landing gear is built completely I can work on the 4 ball turrets. They'll be the last big piece to build before I can do all the detailing and <u>layering</u> that will make this look like a finished model.<br />
<br />
It's not technically Stormbird progress but also bought a cool Tamiya motorized hobby drill. It comes a a model kit that requires assembly but was a fun little side project as a break from plasticard fabricating. It'll probably be really useful when i start adding the fine details.<br />

I started a Thunderhawk scratch build a while back out of a desire to have a fun project and end up with a super heavy for the odd Apocalypse game. I never had a real love affair with the Forgeworld Thunderhawk kit but thought this would be a good opportunity to make some scale and detail improvements along the way. However with the relatively recent release of the Sokar Pattern Stormbird I've decided to pivot and make my flyer into a different pattern of Stormbird. Mine will share all the important details that Forgeworld's has but I'm going give it a shape that I personally will like a little more. So far I've built out the basic hull, some of the engine components, wings that attach via magnetic system, and I've started on the side disembarkation ramps. As with any project like this it's begun to spiral and I'm sure I'll need to take a few months off soon but for now I've been building at a pretty intense pace. </div>

My local GW store has monthly paint competitions and this month's was monsters and mounts. Basically any monster or mounted bike/beast (cavalry?) model, space marine rhino size or smaller. Initially I didn't feel like bothering with it but after going through a few models I found a Finecast Dark Eldar Clawed Friend I had bought a few years back. It doesn't fit into any of my armies but it's such a great model I really wanted to paint it. Unfortunately my current armies always seem to take precedence over fun projects so I forgot about it until I was doing a little cleaning this weekend. In an effort to get more minis painted I figured why not just power through it and get it done for next weekend.</div>

As Finecast goes the model was in pretty good shape, only a handful of small bubbles needed filling and minimal greenstuff work on the arm and leg. I also opted to paint the tail separately, I wanted to use the airbrush as much as possible and I think it would have been in the way a little bit during zenithal highlights.</div>

I built up the base using a single cork and some old GW basing slate then added a layer of Vallejo brown earth to fill gaps and add texture. I finished by sticking a few extra bits of slate into the brown earth to make the base as dynamic as possible. </div>

After shopping around on the Forge World website I realized I wanted some sort of super heavy to go with my many Imperial Armies. I wanted some big powerful centerpiece and I thought a titan would be awesome but it would have to be at least a Reaver or larger and it's just more than I can rationalize for my hobby budget. I then made the foolish decision to attempt a superheavy scratchbuild project. It was either going to be a titan or a Thunderhawk Gunship, and after some deep thought and introspection, the latter seemed a lot more of a reasonable prospect for me to actually complete someday.</div>

After digging around in some google searches I stumbled across the infamous <a href="http://www.theindependentcharacters.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6903&sid=f9505e14471dd76e42993270635f3b1d" target="_blank">Blackadder's Thunderhawk scratchbuild</a> and it really spoke to me. Instead of trying to match Forge World's now somewhat archaic sculpt and dimensions he worked from some very detailed resized digital renderings. These images were much more inline with what I thought the proportions ought to be, and Blackadder is an awe inspiring miniature scale engineer. Having made my decision I dug in and got to work.</div>

I scaled the images down to a size that seemed appropriate to me in terms of overall size. The 3D images I was working from had a much sleeker shape than FW's Thunderhawk with is just too short and stubby for me to be happy with. I think the official model clocks in at 19 inches in length, where mine will measure about 24 inches. The height of the fuselage will probably be a little shorter but it should look less like a shoe box with wings and more of a vaguely plausible flying machine. I had some old foam core floating around the workshop so I used that to build a rough hull matching the dimensions I wanted to go for. In retrospect this created a lot of extra work for me since the foam core I was using was slightly warped. There was a lot of bending and irritating glueing that had to happen to fix this but I've risen above to create a much more fleshed out hull.</div>

My primary source for sheet styrene is from cheap $5 parking signs I purchased from Home Depot, they measure about 20 x 24 inches so you really get a lot for you're money. The only down side being the miscellaneous printing on one side of the sign. I've covered the foam hull with this budget plasticard and have begun building out some of the structural portions of the hull like the nose, tail, and upper-hull turbolaser mount using only plasticard. It took a little while to collect all the materials I need for this which only cost me about $30 for enough various thickness plasticard to build almost everything but the engines and turbolaser, but now I'm making pretty rapid progress. I'm trying to get the basic hull shape built, then I'll be building the wings and various sub assemblies (engines, landing gear, cockpit, etc) separately and attaching them as I go. I think I'm also going to build the wings to be removable so I'll be able to move this beast around without snapping anything off.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Warhammer community has been fractured just as much as the Old World and has been flung into the realms of Age of Sigmar. It was quite clear upon its release that AoS felt incomplete and marketed as an entry level tabletop game. The rules were four pages, included a new easy to paint faction, and seemed gutted of tactical game play. This was my initial reaction and I was completely wrong. The synergy and strategy that is incorporated in the warscrolls is very rich and deep. In fact, 8th edition WHFB strategy pales and seems like a gimmick in comparison. The shining key that unlocks this game on a competitive level is a comp/cost system known as Clash Comp or Mo Comp in some areas. You can find it <a href="http://warhammer.org.uk/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=114070">HERE</a>. I'm also impressed with their companion list building site <a href="http://www.scrollbuilder.com/">www.scrollbuilder.com</a>. My hats off to them for an excellent comp system and list building site. At this point, Clash Comp stands out from the rest and is a great jumping off point for any T.O. I will also be seeking the opinion of this year's Nova Open AoS T.O. and AoS winner of Da Boyz GT in a follow up post. I have a feeling he knows a little bit about AoS(/sarcasm).<br />
<br />
The initial community reaction was as expected, portions of the community feverishly clacked away on their keyboards, exposing the many short comings of AoS. Others in the community saw a system that, by design, was meant to be a frame to expand upon. Instead of poo pooing the clear lack of any army building rules inherent to the system they began creating a comp system of their own to enable list building and competitive play. I doubt we will see any "advanced rules" from GW in the near future and I'm okay with that. I feel as though a player made "rule set" hearkens back to the golden age of gaming. For many it's our youth. Making your own rules up, changing rules, even designing your own game were all things that a lot of us probably did as a kid. In this respect, all this comp creation is rather exciting for me. But whats that you say? Pick up games are dead, huh? I don't think pick up games were how the majority of the community got games in and even if it is look at comp in Warhammer 40k for example. Players, based on their geographic region usually play a flavor of the game that is supported by the major GT's in their area. For example, west coasters play using the ITC format put out by the Frontline Gaming guys(a lot of people all over the U.S actually play with this format) and east coasters play using the Nova Open format in mind. I'm not saying everyone uses either one or the other. In fact most people play the game how they like to regardless of regional format. I'm just trying to illustrate my point. If major comp systems are prominent in your area then it is quite likely that your pick up game opponent is aware of it. 40k has been undergoing these community comp systems for years now and the sky has not fallen yet. Besides that, GW is a <u>model </u>company... It's best we the players decide exactly how to use our toys anyway!<br />
<br />
In a nut shell let's look at some things that Clash Comp addresses in AoS.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="text-align: left;"><b>-Lack of a points/list building mechanic.</b></span><br />
<h4>
<ul>
</ul>
</h4>
<ul></ul>
<span style="text-align: left;">This is the meat and potatoes of Clash Comp and everyone's main gripe about the AoS rules system. Clash Comp addresses this expertly with a pool choice system. Every unit has a pool cost associated with it. Average unit choices are usually 1, 1.5, or 2 pool choices for a minimum size unit. The most brilliant feature is the list building site scrollbuilder.com. It really doesn't get any easier to build your list. In general you select thirty pool choices and deploy twenty of them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><b>-Measuring from the model, "bases don't matter" issues.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bases now matter again, you always measure from them and they must be a reasonable size.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<b>-Summoning </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b>Instead of summoning gone wild you now can opt to deploy less than twenty pool choices and instead summon them onto the table.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<b>-Shooting</b><br />
<ul><br />
</ul>
Clash Comp restricts shooting to forty shots allowed on the table per army. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> -Pile in move clarifications</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In a game where close combat is king, it's nice to have clarified pile in rules. <b><br /></b><br />
<h4>
<br />
</h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"> The T.O.'s at the Da Boyz GT took Clash Comp and altered it with some of their own house rules, Things like:</span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Armies may consist of units from the same faction(IE: order,chaos,destruction, and death). </span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Use of quirky "flavor" rules. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Percentile hero/monster selection. </span></li>
</ul>

<br />
Fresh from Da Boyz I can tell you that AoS is one of my favorite games now. Each game I played at the GT I understood more and more about the immense strategy of the game and by round five I was hooked. My next post I'll be talking Comp again and I hope you all give scroll builder and clash comp a try in the meantime.<br />

It's been quite some time since my last post but rest assured the signal goes on. With the change of Fantasy to Age of Sigmar I have been busy reading warscrolls and painting up my army. Got some Nurgle war hounds done recently. I'm ordering some round bases for the whole army so I just painted the bases in the meantime. </div>

Outside of AoS I've been prepping my army for Da Boyz GT. I'm choosing to take Astra Militarum only because one army per list seems encouraged in the Highlander format. My initial reactions to highlander were varied. I liked the idea of it but was not thrilled with how rigid the 0-1 restriction was, especially playing an army that relied on repetition of units. Scratching my head about how I was going to make them work in Highlander, I realized that they still are able to spam troops and vehicles. The horde list cometh. My currently drafted list has me at 78 infantry models, 5 vehicles, 1 fortification, and 1 flyer. I've been to a few grand tournaments but never with a fully painted army with a display board. That's my goal for Da Boyz and lucky for me most of the infantry models are painted and only a few vehicles remain. I have a feeling this blog is about to get requisitioned by the Guard...</div>

I played IG through most of 5th edition 40k and dabbled here and there in 6th edition, but mostly moved on to Grey Knights and Space Marines for 6th and 7th edition. I've had the itch to get back to IG/Astra Militarum for a while but I don't love horde style armies so I've had a little trouble picking how I'd want to play them.<br />
<br />
With my recent Elysian windfall, I've got a great start to an elite fast IG force that plays in a way that will be exciting for me. I've got 2 Valkyries from my existing IG force that are painted to a pretty nice standard, and I think I'll pick up another 2. In addition I've recently placed and order for a Forge World Vulture armed with Punisher cannons and I'm in the process of converting 3 sentinels to look a little more Elysian in design. Overall I'll probably spend a fair bit of cash on the army but I'm excited to try out the D-99 rules and get an Inquisitorial IG force on the board.<br />
<br />
Here's the spread I picked up on the cheap(ish)...<br />

The model on the far right is just too dark for me, there's not enough contrast between the armor and the fatigues and it's not an interesting enough scheme to work. The model in the middle is the color I wanted to work (Vallejo Sand yellow or something like that), but it just looked way too yellow once I saw a model fully painted. The model on the left is my final decision, it's just enough contrast to look interesting to me but not to heavy handed with the yellow color. Now just the small matter of painting about 40 of these guys. I'll need to purchase about 25 more to have all the special weapons I need. I'm just gonna crank through this project at a fevered pace and try to get them done and really make an effort to not overdo the details on these models. I want to get an army done so I'll be airbrushing base colors and using washes for depth. Let's hope it comes together the way I have it organized in my head...who am I kidding it never does.</div>

In a little over a week we'll be trekking from New England to the DC area for the 2015 Nova Open. I won't be playing in any events, except possibly some <a href="http://www.novaopen.com/?page_id=6670" target="_blank">Age Of Sigmar</a> games, but I'll trying to bring my A-game (or at least my B-game) to this years years <a href="http://www.novaopen.com/?page_id=3923" target="_blank">Capital Palette</a>. Last year I completely dropped the ball with my prep work and ended up not submitting any entries, I really regret being so damn lazy after winning a Silver medal the previous year. I'm trying to make up for things this year so if you end up down there keep an eye for some of these models in the display cases.</div>

I've been trying to refine the Iron Hands Legion Praetor I started a few months back. I added some more pronounced highlights as well as a few chapter and clan markings from the Forge World decal sheet. I also played with adding some shadows to the base for the first time, I like the effect but there's no way I'd be able to put that much work into a whole army. Now he's looking a little meaner and more fitting of his stature in "The Iron Tenth". There are a couple small details left but I think I'm about ready to call this guy complete.</div>

I've also done quite a bit of tedious work on some Tau Pathfinders that I've been working on for two plus years now. I probably over did the paint job considering their value on the battlefield but that's sort of my problem in general, I have a tough time taking short cuts of any kind when painting. I really went to town with some weathering pigments on their bases which I think are looking pretty sharp. Now I just need to finish the rest of this Tau army to the same standard.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Did some more work on the Lion's Blade Battle Company tonight. I built the final rhino, and used the Citadel Caliban Green spray can to coat most of the brand new or unfinished old marines (except for a few of the robe wearers; they're still primer white), the two new rhinos, and the two old razorbacks (converted from seldom used predators).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For anyone who's curious, the list is: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Dark Angels - 1850 Points - Lion's Blade Detachment</u></h4>
<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><br /></u></h3>
<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Demi-Company I</u></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Captain w/combi-grav and auspex</li>
<li>Command Squad w/apothecary, sacred standard, 4 grav guns, and drop pod w/deathwind launcher (because deathwind's are awesome -- don't let anyone tell you otherwise)</li>
<li>Assault Squad (5-man) w/2 flamers, combi-flamer sgt., and drop pod w/deathwind launcher (still awesome)</li>
<li>(3x)Tactical Squad (5-man) w/combi-melta sgt., meltagun, and rhino</li>
<li>Devastator Squad (5-man) w/4 missile launchers, and a razorback w/a TL heavy bolter</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Demi-Company II</u></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Chaplain w/jump pack</li>
<li>Assault Squad (10-man) w/jump packs</li>
<li>(3x)Tactical Squad (5-man) w/grav-cannon, and rhino</li>
<li>Devastator Squad (5-man) w/4 missile launchers, and a razorback w/a TL heavy bolter</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Auxiliary</u></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Ravenwing Support Squadron w/3 Typhoons w/heavy bolters, and Dark Shroud w/heavy bolter</li>
</ul>
<br />
Army-wide special rules for this formation are: stubborn (from the DA ability Grim Resolve), objective secured on everything (from the Lion's Blade formation), and full BS overwatch on all models with Grim Resolve (basically infantry models -- this is from having a battle company within the Lion's Blade). Also, all the transports were free, although I did have to pay for upgrades (awesome deathwind launchers).<br />
<br />
The command squad gets relentless from their sacred standard, so they are always firing their grav guns at the full 18" range, and 3 shot rate of fire. The banner also gives counter attack to the command squad, and has a 12" bubble of re-rollable failed morale, pinning, and fear checks. These guys will be great to drop next to a badass assaulty (but not shooty) unit with even a mediocre armor save.<br />
<br />
The Ravenwing support squadron has some special rules of its own: interceptor and strafing run (from the Ravenwing Support Squadron formation), re-rollable jink saves (Ravenwing models with Grim Resolve get this). The Dark Shroud has shrouded, which is passed on to the rest of the support squadron (because they share special rules like any unit), and it gives stealth and fear to units within 6". It cannot receive the benefit of this stealth bubble, but the Typhoons in the same squadron can, so they will obviously be staying out front. In addition, units within 6" of the Dark Shroud can't fire overwatch when assaulted. Pretty solid.<br />
<br />
Some stats:<br />
<ul>
<li>62 marines, 6 rhinos, 2 razorbacks, 2 drop pods, 4 speeders</li>
<li>grav shots: 33 max (21 min -- after combi's are fired, or when grav-cannons move)</li>
<li>melta shots : 6 max (3 min -- after combi's are fired)</li>
<li>missiles: 14 (frag or krak)</li>
<li>heavy bolter shots: 18</li>
</ul>
<div>
Potential flaws: </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>No AA - just lots of missile and grav shots. Lets hope what's there is enough.</li>
<li>No psychic powers or psychic defense.</li>
<li>MSU. I will always lose kill point missions.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Not sure about: </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>The jump pack assault marines and chaplain. I feel like they will be useful, even if it's only because people underestimate them. I think having objective secured, the ability to deep strike and combat squad, and fast movement, will make them useful. They do put out 34 re-rollable hits the first round of close combat. Not too shabby.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
I'm hoping "quantity over quality" will prove to be a sound strategy... or at least make for some fun games.</div>
<div>

This is the first step toward my Lion's Blade battle company for the NOVA Open. I'll expand on that in another post this week. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
The grav guns are from forge world, and the dude with the wing helmet is my new basic, shooty company master with combi-grav, and (not modelled) auspex. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
The creepy cherubs are going to drag the banner around, and will just serve as a marker for the designated bearer. Tall banners were always a pain in uneven terrain, and modelling for different outs was even worse. This should mitigate both issues. Also, I always hated the idea that one of the most elite marines in one of the most elite units had to drag a big unwieldy flag around with him. </div>

A few months ago I finally picked the kit up with the intention of making the power armored Praetor a foot Chapter Master, and the terminator armored Praetor a kitted out Librarian. Now, having nearly wrapped up work on my Devestator Centurions, I decided to pick these two models and try to get some work done on them.<br />
<br />
As with the rest of my Iron Hands, I went with a muted dark grey/black base color and all silver metallic components. I wanted to make them look basic and utilitarian (by Astartes standards), like a machine that's well maintained as opposed to gilded with superfluous ornamentation. To make these guys stand out as HQs I decided to add some gold to their weapons, which isn't used anywhere else in the standard troops. I think it'll be a small detail that pops out on the tabletop.<br />
<br />
First up the power armored Praetor. I'm not even close to being done with sword, its going to take a lot more precise blending but it's off to a good start.<br />

While I'm not planning on playing 30k at the moment I just can't resist purchasing some of Forge World's amazing Horus Heresy models, and this kit did not disappoint. I'm hoping to keep cranking away on these guys and have them done in the next week or two.Mad Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13549531109849946859noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8981942820893312976.post-20068642728480274692015-06-17T01:23:00.001-04:002015-06-17T02:10:02.581-04:00Iron Hands Centurion Devastators It's been a while since I had any progress towards my Iron Hands force, but I'm happy to say I've finally started picking up momentum again. Following the release of the new space marines codex, I decided to celebrate by completing my Centurion Devestators. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had done the majority of the work on them a few months back but hobby painters bottleneck reared it's head, I stalled for weeks on the final small details. With the exception of some Forge World Clan Raukaan transfers (and maybe some small highlights I've missed) I'm happy to count this squad amongst those rare models in my 40k collection I call complete. I've only really attempted to achieve a tabletop or slightly higher level, so I acknowledge some shoddy edge-work on these guys but I'm happy to have a few more completed models. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Just a side note, I opted to trim the side toes off the feet on these models. I appreciated the tiny dreadnought look the model designers were going for, but the inside toes seemed like they'd make walking difficult. I also think these models are bulky enough so the streamlined feet help make them look a little more nimble for my taste. I also added a spacer, roughly 2mm - 3mm, in between the torso and the legs to make them look just a little leaner.</div>
<div>
