A bit of progress...

I've been away for a week, so I've been unable to do a whole lot. I obtained a destroyer squad and a deimos patter vindicator for the night lords and I've been working on my recon squad.

I also built myself a Moritat, pictured in the last frame. Slinging a pair of volkite serpenta, he is pre-shaded and ready for basecoating.

  1. That vindicator looks so awesome...I might have to get one.

    1. It is beautiful! A fantastic kit, comes with a full rhino kit for conversion. The only problem really is a couple of gripes about warped resin, but we all know how to fix those. I have some gap filling ahead of me for where that didn't work perfectly.

    3. Basically, from what I gather, you can bend it back into shape after sitting the resin in hot tap water for a period of time. That time will vary with the resin composition and heat of water, so I gauge it with a piece of spare sprue before I commit with the actual model. Use the same sprue piece it came on for the most accurate guess. If it is beyond salvageable, forgeworld is great at replacing parts (I'm waiting for Curze's shoulder pads that were missing from my kit!)
