Thanks mate.
I began basic clean-up of the pieces and decided the fleurs-de-lys had to go. A fleur de lys means France to me, not Chaos.
The Chaos space marines look really nice. They include a sprue of mutated head and arms wich is cool but I’m not shure if I will use it.
Here is a photo of the contents of the box: http://img210.exs.cx/img210/2081/s36000038tq.jpg
One backpack is missing from the photo as I [D)] missplaced it in the immolator box. There’s more than enough to build 8 figures.
Browsing in amazon I found this link: http://www.scifigenre.com/ I haven’t used their service, but they offer many W40K stuff (and MUCH more) with 15% off.
A Group Build is basicly a bunch of people building a common theme in a set time period , its motivational for me and also quite addictive. It gives people a chance to share ideas and ask advice.
Yes, you’re welcome to join the Gb and post photos of your work in progress (WIP) and finished. Your photos can be hosted wherever and you can put links to them in your messages. I use http://www.imageshack.us/ for hosting my phoots. It’s free [:D]
BTW: How is that Grav-tank model? the box art seems cool, but I was wondering about what’s inside the box.
So, I’ll add you up with an Eldar Grav tank.
Detail is what you’d expect from a GW model kit: its all there, a little heavy (perhaps “robust” is a better term), but it sure does look cool! Comes with 2 crew and I believe the rear troop hatch will be openable. Not a lot in the way of options, though I suppose that’s what GW’s mail order is for!
I’ve bult the Leman Russ and the old-school Rhino, and compared to those, this kit is pretty sharp!
Right now I don’t wan’t to increase my stash anymore (actually I want but I’m fighting myself not to do it) so the Falcon Grav Tank will reamain in my wishlist only. It’s good to know it’s sharp. Maybe later this year, maybe for my bday. I wonder how it’d look in a russian knight type of paintjob.
Anyway, keep us informed of your progress.
I’m having a couple days off (thanks easter) and so I’m splitting my time between a Tornado and the Immolator.
Yesterday I finished removing mold lines from the Immolator and did the same to the Chaos S.M. It was a major task as there are so many little pieces with few, if any, straight lines. I also changed a bit some of the heads, put to good use my set of mini drills and undercoated everything with tamiya light sea gray. I’m still deciding how to paint everything.
How is everybody else doing?
I dont think I could let down this opportunity!
Ive already got a half finished w40k converted Bradley IFV Id be willing to contribute, that and aspects of my new =][= army [:D]
Great Drawde. Don’t forget the photos. Is it the regular Land raider or the crusader?
Armour_freek (Dave) and sevrius (Will), you’re welcome. That Bradley sounds interesting.
Do you have the computer game “Dawn of War”? The Ork Looted Tank in that would be a good inspiration for converting your Leman Russ.
The game developers/modellers did a good job IMHO of “orkifying” the basic Leman Russ.
