Currently working on building 2 heavy sentinel's for Solar Auxilia. Have them built in sub assemblies, legs, main body and weapons that I'll maybe magnetize. I haven't assembled a 40K vehicle in like 10 years.

For paint scheme, I think I'm just gonna keep it simple and go with the green/gray/silver that's on the current box art but haven't started painting. Gotta do more research and make sure they aren't a traitor faction. If they are team Horus, I'll maybe switch to the light blue and tan that the original resin Auxilia came in.

As an aside, for anyone with the knowledge:

How do the Solar Auxilia Ogryn's compare size-wise to the current 40K Ogryn plastic kit? I'm doing my best to go all plastic, and as the SA Ogryns only come in resin (so far) and I might use the 40K Ogryns as proxy somehow. Maybe even the Necromunda Ogryns.

They are larger. Those are specially genetically modified even larger ogryns. Normal ogryns at most can represent the militia ogryns.

I have a strong feeling that they Charonite Ogryns will be coming out in plastic very soon. The new Liber books sent most of the older resin kits to legends. However, Ogryns stuck around and are even on the cover.

Managed to get the rest of the MkII marines from the box set all polished off, done as a 20-man Tactical Squad and a 10-man Tactical Support Squad armed with Meltaguns...





I was hoping to have the Saturnine stuff all built this week and painted over the weekend but oh... oh, these are the most painful models to put together that I have seen for a long, long time. It is not just the number of parts involved (the only thing I can compare them to is perhaps the Warmaster from Titanicus), but also the fact that they do not really 'click' together like most modern GW models.

Expect a long and painful whinging post when I get them up here!

Thinking of whipping up a simple Heresy-themed board game, and the easiest I can think off is an Army-of-One scenario for Blackstone Fortress.

Maybe a box of MKIIs and a Blade Champion.

I’ve had to apply the brakes for now. Four weeks from now, all my gubbins, geegaws, bits, pieces, wotnot and portable property will be boxed up, ready to move into my forever home the day after.

Sure, four weeks is a long time. But I don’t currently trust myself to open a kit and get it all built. And if I don’t do that? I risk Rogue Sprue Syndrome.
