Definitely not wasted! Your stuff looks amazing! I'm doing the exact same thing as you with a raven guard army and although plastic mark VI would have made things a lot easier half the fun is the pile of bits and the kitbashing!

By the way, regarding those speeders, i have 3 ad they all have the "twist action" thing going on with the ball joint stands. Its not a fluke abd mine have held up just fine since release date (i bought them the day they came out) so I wouldn't worry about brass rod down the line.

Thanks for that! Its good to know that the speeder works as intended in that case.

Also, regarding the upcoming plastic kits, I'm hoping the old bits will still be reusable with them. It has been speculated that only the legs have been resculpted, and if so, then it's just a matter of kitbashing my existing models with the new plastic legs. If the rumours are true, the HH box will contain 30 beakies, so plenty of parts to bash with. I will also end up with two different looking Umbra bolters, and two different looking Mk VI backpacks for more variety And looking at the pics, the new box is also coming with the Mk VI legion command upgrades, and I didn't have those even in resin since they've been OOP for years now.

Since you are also making a beakie army, here is one cool helmet set I found, maybe you would find it interesting?

I bought one set for my Death Company already (Large size is the one for firstborn, Medium size is for Primaris), the reiver helmets will be replaced with these.

In case you are interested Red Warden Also has BA Specific Beakies. Looking forward to more; hopefully you get all your resin completed before the HH release.
