40K assembly question

Do you collect other toys besides Transformers? Maybe you've got a Masters of the Universe collection you'd like to show off, or maybe you like Thundercats, Voltron, G.I.Joe, Power Rangers, Star Wars, Wrestling, or any of the various comic book toy lines. Please keep the discussions here to non-Transformers toy lines.

in eithercase, they're just a maybe. they'd just be sort of vanilla cannon fodder.


I'm not sure if the Eye of Terror codex is relevant anymore.

In 5th Edition (the newest), the forces of Chaos are divided into Chaos Daemons (warp monsters and other nasties) and Codex Space Marines (The original traitor legions).

Traitor Guard can be played with converted standard Imperial Guard models, using the Imperial Guard codex.

Since we're on the subject of 40k, here's my latest project: Pre-Heresy Iron Hands!

Morlock Terminators:

Ironclad Dread

1st Captain Gabriel Santar

Regular Astartes

I wanted to do something a little different so, I modded a Dreadknight into an Imperial Robot, based off of Incarnidine from The First Heretic novel!

Those are sweet Jesterhead.

I really do love Warhammer, but my issue with them is cost. You don't get anough for what you pay for.

I find myself buying them on clearance quite a bit though.

Noise marines will likely be my first major additions, since no one in my area fields them (I'm sure I can mod some blastmasters after a few tries). But, I'm also VERY glad I can field traitor guardsmen. I think they'd be good distractions or just considered low priority targets to the enemy player. (and very cheap)

Also Jesterhead: hot damn. awesome work man. :D

And no love for the paint jobs I posted of stuff I did... :-(

Anyways, Gun modifying is not that hard. For the case you have as I explained earlier, all you have to do is cut that small area where the finger would go for the trigger. Cut that piece out and the gun will slide right in.

Look into just buying up parts lots if you get the chance. Bit of excess pieces that no one wants can be a GOLD MINE.

You know it!

My pre-heresy Iron Hands are %80 Forge World models. They are lovely sculpts, but the price is obscene!

It seems like Warhammer 40k (or 30k lately) novels have been sucking up a lot of my money lately. The next Horus Heresy limited edition novella Aurelian should drop sometime soon. Not sure where the money for that is coming from! :-?

Oh dear, thinking about getting back into 40k makes me cringe. To think I could've had less trouble collecting AEC if I didn't go through this hobby. Was more in to Fantasy than 40k, but still had a considerable amount of Tau.

I don't know if the heads are different for you on that Krylon paint Robo, but for me it SUUUUUCKS.

picked up some krylon fusion satin white paint, it came with this sucky 'EZ touch 360 dial' (no normal headed stuff) and it offers no range, and it comes out in globs rather than a spray. Whatever it didn't cover completely it PLASTERED ruining much of the detail.

EDIT: Turns out its not the paint... I managed to get the one can of paint without a nozzle. just my luck. =/

Pretty unlucky. Were your models ok?

I always use GW paints for my warhammer minis, but I've had nothing but good luck with Krylon for other uses in the past.
