Use a wicking poly cement.
Seriously, flat surface, two halves, dab of dichloromethane or whatever, job done. Flip it over and do the other side if you’re feeling paranoid.

It's more a question of how ugly it ends up.

Just knocked a beakie together. Looks pretty good. A touch of Vallejo plastic putty should hide the minimal seam.

slap a layer of paint over it and that might be all you need

So far I've assembled five of them and used the shoulder pads I printed while doing it (1-hour print for 60 pads, because feth the studded seam). Yes, they're not technically corvus shoulder pads, but I believe the regular corvus look a bit too bland when painting IWs, as there's not really any rim to paint a different metal tone.

Using Corvus for IW makes you a filthy traitor loyalist.

I mean... I am a loyalist, so... ^^

I just schlepped the box home and I'm already regretting it :-D

I think I'll baggie up everything that'll be going on sale at some point so the gigantic pile of sprues doesn't look so bad...

Spartan tracks all done. Happy to report they go together beautifully.

Next up the quad sponsons. Am yet to decide what the hull will have. More Lascannon feels a wee bit redundant, but they remain Lascannon.

What are you planning on shifting vs. keeping?

Had to get rid of that ludicrously large sword on the Praetor, and I think the Mark II head looks decent:

Spoiler:

Yeah I already marked that original sword for a Primarch, it's way too much for a marine (as is the axe imo). Luckily I have a Lion model with a flaky sword that it will work great on. Might give one to Dorn too.

I'm thinking I might offload 15-30 of the Mk6s, at least one Praetor and maybe half the Cataphractii

I'm torn on what to do with mine. Do I keep on with my emperor's children, add to my world eaters, or start a small loyalist force that I can use for battles with the aforementioned. I suppose with the amount of models in the box I could probably do all three if I really wanted. The praetors too, so many potential options...

On the bare plastic it looks significant, but maybe with a coat of paint it'll be okay. Is it hard to line them up? I notice the front half of the pad is sitting a hair lower than the rear half.

I'm planning to paint my stuff up in five different Legions, maybe six.

Quick question for US folks, have your FW orders with the new Sons or IF upgrade parts shipped?

No, not difficult. Just quickly put together at 2 AM while running on about an hour of sleep the past two days. Couldn't help it, I haven't assembled a plastic beakie since the 1980s, and wanted to compare it to a Primaris. They definitely look a whole lot better than the original minis. And they're finally bigger than Guardsmen.

Power of the machine spirit lets the Spartan split its fire. So I'd go with heavy bolters for the versatility.

I am from Canada (which rely on the same warehouse in Texas), ordered mine the 12th of June... and I still hav'nt receive anything nor had sign from ForgeWorld website that is had been shipped. My label is still under "Pending". I will contact them in a day or two if i don't see any change of status.

Are you joking



Limited rulebook after launch. The bastards really try to get you

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/06/19/sunday-preview-kill-maim-and-requisition-with-codex-chaos-space-marines/

Also

Sorry where does it say the rulebook is limited?

It’s billed as a special collectors edition which generally means limited. And that’s putting aside the fact that this appears after launch with the limited cards and tokens.

Did you not read the bit where it says there's multiple versions of the book coming out?

This is the same lavishly illustrated and comprehensive rulebook found in the Age of Darkness boxed set. It’s available in English, French, and German, as a standard hardback rulebook, an ePub, or in a special collector’s edition – artfully finished with bonded leather covers and metal corner protectors.

Thats the normal version of the book and a collectors edition.

Look at the pictures.

Two books. One regular. One collectors.

Yes, but what’s that got to do with the fact that they release a special edition rulebook after the launch of the box set with the standard rulebook and collectors edition tokens and the like?

Kind of tempted by a box of MkVI, so I can get some Special Weapons armed up.

You were proven wrong.

Are you just complaining that Ltd Ed stuff wasn't released at the same time?

They didn’t say the rulebook was limited ffs. They were clearly talking about the special/collectors/limited/whatever edition one.

My guy, he was not clear at all, I've literally quoted him saying "rulebook" not "collectors edition".

It’s really obvious to I’m sure everyone else what they were talking about. But we’ll done! You really ‘proved them wrong’!

If you can point to an existing ‘special edition’ rulebook that is kept in print as a regular stock item, I’ll admit I’m wrong. Until then, having a limited rulebook launched after the box set with limited items is a definite kick in the teeth.

Whatever man. If the normal rulebook was limited I could understand the rage post but it's a launch of a new edition of a game and this guy is mad the releases are spread out. I'm not taking that seriously.
