Actually this paintscheme is not what i've originally planned, It came with the mixture of existing British Redcoats (By the time the original 500 PTS project is coming to painting stage. I've actually watched ZULU movie. (Guess what? It was PRAETORIAN
IG movie! by 2009-2010 there were no Kickstarter so Praetorians may only be made through either a tricky conversion or Ebay used minis purchase, which by then ... not quite affordable), Brotherhood of Nod footsoldiers from C&C Renegade, and ... Can't Get You Out of My Head... music video. The LEGENDARY popsong and video which is now a theme song of Kylie Minogue. (There were easter egg relating to her in early editions of
40k, look at Siver Skulls earlier fluff... to be precise the
Codex Astartes. but this was not appear in the more recent ones I think)
Back to
WIP.
The
WIP on Wyvern, begins with track bogie. yes I followed the instruction booklet.
This is my first tank assembly ever! acutally my first time with track bogie.... Back in the day I've bought my first
IG boxset... to be specific... The First
GW product. the 20-men Cadian Shock Troops,
IG tank track sprue consists of Track section that looks alot like either Shermans, or Carden Loyd tankette, and Roadwheels... EVERY
IG tracked vehicles comes with this famous 'tank track' sprue (from what I've heard) and so assembly process included putting wheels into track bogie and followed with the track itself. ... but by the time I've finished the 500 pts army, Neither Chimera nor Leman Russ nor any variants has track wheels.... Initially i'm objected to this 'new track' sprue. but now I've learned that
GW was right. it is indeed easier to assemble track into 'socketed' bogie plates. Yet I don't know if
GW still produce classic
IG tank track & roadwheels ?
