Behold the glory that is about to get started....

Ok enough bombast, I'm just excited to start working on these.

So what type of merc army are you planning on playing?

Four Star at first.

Good luck! I'd suggest magnetising the heavy if possible, it's an easy one to get a Mule / Nomad from without much fiddling.

That Nomad is going to be Rocinante, There is a second heavy kit coming that I am gonna magnetize.

Good Luck, oh no more pirates on the field.

Where does he get those wonderful toys!?

I do not envy you sir....

My head would probably explode if I knew I had to put all that together.

I can understand that. I'm not worried about it as I don't have a deadline stuck in my head. I'm taking the "take it out of the box, build it, paint it" before the next one approach.

But I still have about 80pts (out of about 200ish) Khador to finish first.

Funny thing about it is I was just thinking about setting up an P&M blog about the Mercs to see how long it actually takes....

So, could we get a rundown of the exact contents of said haul?

I do suppose that a lot of PP stuff comes pretty much in solid pieces which could help. I have an entire cygnar army waiting to be painted. I started my thunderhead and then lost my drive to paint it.

Hrm... I really should get to painting those.

Get to painting yo. Most of the solo's are one piece not looking forward to putting the Nyss Hunters together from what I have read online. but heck if i can manage to get the IFP together I can do it..

Hahaha I have heard tales of the IFP and I have heard about the Nyss Hunters. That is one of the reasons I do not own any yet. I am waiting for the plastic 10 man unit to come out before I try to deal with those.

The IFP aren't really hard to put together just tedious and your hands hurt when your through.

Here is the tutorial i used in case you decide to take the leap (cuz honestly IMHO metal will always be better than plastic).
