No point. It would be covered in plastic and resin dust in 10 mins hah.
I removed all the key caps before. Waste of time!
I hear you. Mine is close too because I'm having to get help from an adult at every step and search for stuff.
Looking good. I absolutely adored building and painting that kit, one of the few “re-imaginings” GW have done which captured a bit or the originals coolness.Ok basing is taking longer than expected.
Here’s a WIP shot of the storm speeder
I totally misread one of the index cards which I was using to influence how I built some models.
I thought it meant that with 5 units, I could have a melta+belcher+plasma, when it clearly says for every 5 marines 1 can have ONE of the following. This makes sense why the Blight Launcher and Plague Spewer were listed separately. For anyone unaware, you can use the 40K app free for a limited time, this helps with the Battle Forge for making sure army legit, also I didn't realise because not on the index card that I can use Chaos Knights and a load of other units as 'Allied Units'. Another good example of 40K info being far too spread out over multiple sources.

Code:
For every 5 models in this unit 1 Plague Marine's plague bolt gun can be replace with 1 blight launcher.
For every 5 models in this unit 1 Plague Marine's plague bolt gun can be replace with 1 plague spewer.
For every 5 models in this unit 1 Plague Marine's plague bolt gun can be replace with one of the following:
◦ 1 meltagun
◦ 1 plague belcher
◦ 1 plasma gun
For every 5 models in this unit up to 2 Plague Marine's can have their plague bolt gun replaced with 1 bubotic weapons.
For every 5 models in this unit up to 2 Plague Marine's can have their plague bolt gun replaced with 1 heavy plague weapons.it is. The way it comes together and the build was really enjoyable. If I remember correctly I'm building the hammer strike. Really happy the way the paint came out apart from the yellow but a few well placed transfers will hide my highlighting !!
Friends in Manchester keep telling me to move there...

Most Knight lists won’t be all big boys though. My Chaos Knights list will (when they’re finished) usually be 1-2 big knights and 8-10 war dogs. Got one Abominant and four war dogs done so far, working on a Tyrant at the minute.
I think Imperial Knights tend a bit towards more big ones though.
Tell you what I’m looking forward to though… not having 50+ models to move around!
I hear you. I was watching a nids Vs grey knights at the club and I thought CBA with all those little nids.
I guess the beauty of having the allied units options is that if you can't be assed you could just stick a massive unit (cost) in even if it's not optimal.
Made up some sprue goo today and also some milliput with ipa.
The milliput option feels good to work with as you can just use capillary action to fill the gaps. Decided to try 2 ways, first brush it in on a clean model and then use a cotton bud dipped in IPS to wipe up any excess. And then also over a pre-primed model before adding another quick layer of primer over the top.
Just waiting for it all to set now and will then compare the best method once primered.

The one in the red box.
I think you may have quoted the wrong post bud however I agree with both of you re the tyranids.
Yeah was meant to be post above. Time for bed!So the milliput option works well pre-primer. Not so well afterwards as it requires quite a thick coat of white to cover it up.
I have also tried zenith priming with just black and white, skipping the grey step which makes the transition a lot more pronounced.
So have a variety of things going on now, will be interesting to see which gives the best result once all painted.
