I love that they put out rules for a SM rapier. I have an old metal Laser Destroyer Array I got a part of a $10 lot of old metal heavy weapons that's been collecting dust for too long. Now I just need to see about rustling up something to stand in for a rapier carrier.

And that's them ordered! I've spent a year and a half trying to find the right base for the Doom Dolphins 1st Captain, and Moloc is perfect for the part. Replace his spearhead with a hammer's and come up with a self-satisfying reason for the bull iconography (I'm already having ideas...) and he shall be Lysane Victrix y Thoth y mya of the Doom Dolphins astartes.

It does look like Scribor work. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I thought FW was a few steps beyond that type of design.

I LOVE the minotaur chaplain! But have absolutely no use for the other guy. Shame. And the iconography is way heavy. A little less iconography or putting it only on easily replaceable pieces probably would have sold them 2 or 3 times the models.

I have to get that Enforcer model. Not a fan of the cyber-mastiff (too much mastiff, not enough cyber), but the Enforcer himself is great.

And I really like the Minotaur Terminator. That's the first real deviation they've taken from standard Terminator armour. Quite interesting.

Well, I want that Reclusiarch. Could care less for that Terminator captain, but if I could just buy the Chaplin, I would be set.

It looks like I could just replace the shoulder pads with stuff from the DC box to make him part of my chapter.
