Well, the decals came in today. I will begin work this weekend. With luck (and a bit of work), I'll get everything I need assembled and ready for the airbrushing!

Looking forward to another 500 page blog! 496 to go !

Finally... some progress. First squad built!

Great Start Gits!

You got resin guns but not pads?

No. I ordered a full sheet of EC transfers, so those will have to do.

Working on the rapier now. Have to figure out how to change the guns out (it's not really made for that).

First squad is looking great Git's.

Oooh another project to watch with envy!

The first of the eye-candy has arrived!

He hasn't even started painting and it's getting exciting!

Exactly how I feel. Not even painted but stoked! I love the heresy models so much!

And round two... added the rapier. The gun itself is magnetized in as I'll have to scratch-build a quad lascannon option for it.

How easy was it to align the resin meltas with the plastic arms? It looks like the meltas are almost too long or too big to fit the non trigger hand.

I am now concerned about the resin weapons I have for my plastic Cataphracti.

Not easy. I had to pin the meltas to the right arm and the jigger both arms around to try and find a place where it all fit together more or less. Lots of messy glue involved.

Those meltas do look like they were a complete nightmare. Makes me wary of trying to do the same.

Good Start. Love the rapier.

I'm working on the outriders (bikes) now. They're proving to be a bit tricky and slow to build. Hopefully more pics & progress tonight.

To echo Solar_Lion; excellent work on converting the rapier!

I'm desperately trying to avoid picking up BaC and starting yet another project. You're doing me no favours and you've not even put paint to model yet!

Thanks endtrans... but no conversion needed on the rapier, that's straight out of the bag!

Gits, can't wait to see some paint on these bad boys!

I can't either... I'm getting antsy for painting!

Ah, I'm misremembering, I thought you said you'd needed to fiddle with it.

Ah, I know what you're thinking of. I need one of the las cannon versions too and I was too cheap to buy a second one... so I need to scratch-build a las cannon gun mount for this frame.

Gits, I think I have the TL Lascannons that come with the Ven Dread set lying around. Let me check when I get home

Looking good Gits! Look forward to seeing them with some paint.

Ahhhh that sounds more like it! I knew there was a conversion in there somewhere.

I got an Old RT one I'll send your way. On the small side but it's something you won;t have to build!

I figure I owe you guys a better pic of the rapier...



... as well as something new... the Outriders.




I hope to finish up the build on the tactical squad today, which should get me ready to paint ASAP.

Love the look of those bikes. Nice lance, looks like it’s just waiting to snap off though. Is there a point of contact on the front of the bike?

Yes, it's touching the side of the bolter mount. I could put a touch of glue there to hold it in place. Good call Nev.
