It's possible, Grump. You are best served by looking at the directions/assembly guide that is available online.

That's the best I can do for you from my phone while on AMTRAK.

Greetings.

I've finished the Beastmen squad. The parts are currently at the caster and should be in store in about 3 weeks. These are a long time favorite of mine, so I am very excited about finally getting a full 10 man resin squad.

Might start calling them Beast Guard?

I am currently working on a ten man squad with close combat weapons and pistols. So watch out for the future return of Torgo's Trench Raiders.

Cheers, V

Those Beast Guard look fantastic! Super tempting

Does BFG also fires canister rounds as well as generic shrapnels?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! IT'S A HORSE! IT'S A HORSE!

Do want. Though I'm sure the witch brigade will be along sooner or later to be all "nyerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, horses don't belong in 40k, nyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh."

I have to say the sprue makes it rather...horrifying. In a sort of demonic body horror way.

Sculpt looks good though and I was just looking at options for Tallarn rough riders...

Vents are due to it being a 3d test print.

From Facebook:

this is just the boring un-posed sculpt. Posing it will be a new test of my Z-brush skills.

I agree with Brook's thoughts.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA IT'S A HORSE! I'M SO PUMPED UP!

But....but...but....I haven't placed the order for my tracks and shield yet...and there are horses....


AND MY BFGs ARRIVE TOMORROW....

...just when I've taken an extended weekend's leave. Yes!!

Did you get a track and trace number for your Bones pledge?

I'm actually liking the track set as it's own thing to be used for conversions.

Before getting excited about the horse, I really want to see it with one of her riders mounted.. because I'm not buying more horses without seeing proof that the rider won't look like a giant. Even from vic.. I trust nobody's horses anymore (that was a really strange sentence to type)

Got my Sledgehammer in and oh man, its better than I anticipated, from ease of assembly down to the awesome crew that comes with it 10/10. Accessories like the tracks and gunshield make it all the sweeter.

Apologies but I was offline most of yesterday.

There was no tracking number as such. There were two emails, one saying the order was ready and the second saying it would arrive on Fridaywith a 1 hour slot to be notified later.




As an update, the modern hi-tech world is very frustrating.

The DPD website is showing me that the driver is on delivery no 8 of (I'm 134) but the map shows he is only 2 miles but 8 hours away.........



And they're here.





All I can say is "Fantastic job Jake and Victoria"

I couldn't resist putting one together.

I'm amazed at how easy it is to build. The fact that it comes ready to assemble without clipping from sprues is a bonus.

I've never bought any Bones before so the material the crew is made from feels slightly strange to me but does allow for easy cutting so I can swap the heads out for pith helmets as I have already done with one as a tester.








Note that I haven't glued the wheels on as I'm waiting for the tracks and gun shield to arrive.

I daresay the wheels could find their way onto an Ork conversion of some kind however I am tempted to get another one at retail price to convert to Blood Axe use.

GOD DAMN IT.

I just ordered 20 horses from Warlord Games!

at last... decent looking horses that would be good for fantasy, Sci fi and western...!

My two arrived today. Very nice. Any chance of seeing the Matilda in Bones IV?

Chomping at the bit, eh?

An to those neigh sayers who canter to the idea that Equis as a war mount has rode off into the sunset in 40k, I say let 8th editions changes spur you on.



That said, when I see horses melt onto the ceiling, I suspect they may be tainted....

Seeing how tge Imperium has not only blackpowder-era worlds but STONE AGE worlds, those people have always been dummies. Double dummies for cavalry being awesome.

That said, what is the best way to buy some of this stuff as a Kraut

Amazing. Can't wait to pick up a squadron.

isnt a squadron going to be like 210$ ?

Those look so *good*! I just wish we could get plastic instead of resin. I know, I know, hideously expensive to create and all that, but I just don't trust resin. Too many old stories of lung-filled issues from the Armorcast days. Gives me the heebie-jeebies.

I'm pretty sure plastic dust is just as bad for you as resin dust, the key part is you shouldn't be breathing in dust so wear a mask when you saw or file.

Somewhere in that ballpark I imagine. The government finally came through with almost 5 years worth of inflation pay, so the wife and I are treating ourselves a little.

Hoof an exalt.

I'm back in Australia after a trip to the US for my big sister's wedding.

How are you folks (from the Kickstarter) finding your Sledgehammers to be?

Haven't opened mine yet, but they sure look purty.

So what do we have to do to get you guys to put up another KS for a range of similar vehicles in hard plastic?

That's up to Victoria. I just smash things with hammers til they look right.

As you can see from the photos I posted earlier, I've only partially assembled one so far but they go together like a dream.


I'm waiting for my tracks and shields to arrive before putting the whole battery together.

I'm so glad that I jumped in on the KS. Everything from the packaging, the casting and ease of assembly shouts 'quality'.


Even the retail price of $75.99 (with six crew) stacks up well compared to the FW Earthshaker (£76 with no crew and daft postage rate).
