Thanks for that link, I may need to go broke there at some time.

OK I thought that was the manufacturer but it's just a toy seller in Malaysia. So search for it in your favorite retail site.

Fresh Retro Scene in a box Fortifications B is the product.

I see a Lightyear truck
I want to paint it brown,
no colors anymore
I want then to turn brown

My hobby supplies are still a month out but I thought I'd at least basecoat some of the toys I've been amassing. Four Lightyear trucks, an Armadillo Shuttle, a fighter and two Indian trucks.

Well, my 185 boxes have caught up with me and the great digging out has begin.

Also this happened...





Also Hexbane's Hunters have found their proper place as Witch Hunter Jacques Faber, greatest Witch Hunter of his age, known for his hounding of the Rogue Trader Midas Bombast. And his droogs, three Assassins.

I hate when boxes of minis fall out of the sky on my head!

I had to wait till GW had them in stock again.

They will become, in time, a counts-as SOB army the Brothers of Law. And they'll be getting six rhinos. The Enforcer cars will probably just be IG.

Really hyped for this project mate, great idea

Great project- I've wanted to convert Hexbane's Hunters myself.

Look forward to more.

Mulling this...

I have my tower of Arbites to start on, but I also feel the call of my metal IG.



This is where they stood in 2016 and it would nice to unbox them and get them into shape.

Of course with Vet squads gone I now need a ton of Tallarn riflemen to replace the illegal plasma gunners.

So I looked at the Ole Tallarn army, lots of 5th edition mech-vets with 3 plasma guns and a heavy, all illegal now

Closest match seems to be DKK who can have 3 special weapons, but only 1 plasma and no heavy. So find some riflemen and move my autocannons into a separate unit.

Grenade Launchers seem suddenly useful so maybe squads of 2 GL/1 plasma along with mech squads of 2 melta/1 plasma.

Heaven only knows what I can do with my 4 plasma command squads.

And I just know as soon as I finish this, GW will invalidate it again.

It's tough innit mate? i'm dragging my eolian desert fighters back into the fray, and finding all the units I built for 9th are invalid. Good luck!

Finishing a Dorn tank I got last year - mine seems to be missing a hull plate, I have to call customer service - and found that despite having an absurd number of guns it cannot take a hunterkiller missile.

Somehow this bugs me.

OK, so like in the process of moving from Egypt to India (by way of America) I had failed utterly to find my paints and modeling tools among the 187 boxes. So after two months of looking and checking every box twice I gave up and bought $200 in paint when I was home last month.

I joked that meant I would find them the next day.

I didn't

It took 2 weeks and today they turned up in a box I swear I checked twice.

But don't worry, I am sworn to only use my summoning powers for good and never for evil.

Now where did I leave that canister of anthrax, I sure would hate to have to buy another one.

Some actual modelling done, a Rogal Dorn tank, 2 shuttles (prison and Inquisition) and 3 Horus Heresy Demios Rhinos for the Brothers of Law.



I am inordinately proud that both the Dorn and Rhino #1 have a Rogue Trader Rhino ammo box. I think it was my last two but I like the old to new hand off.



Those Demios Rhino kits are really good.

A lazy evening's conversion, McLaren sports car to flying car.





Hopefully it will look better painted.

No painting as yet, even if it's been a month since bought replacements AND also found my paints.

But lots of modelling down.

First off an ebay/bitz box raid to get a better Lord Solar for my Tallarn army.



Old fantasy Al Muktar and bitz and putty.



Then some DA vets into Blade Guard (yeah I know they're not primaris, this is very much a just for fun project)



And finally, celebrating the End of the End and the Death with some Stormcast to Emperor & Horus action. Even with his steps Horus is still a bit short, I'll have to see if I can boost him again.

I build a grand total of one (1) Arbites and it was as I feared. A 10 part model with zero options, even the holstered pistol slides into a slot. Very much NOT FUN to build.

Flying car looks ace. Lord Solar looks fun. Great work all round.

Not my work just parking some images for inspiration







Nothing to see here

You should be forbidden from posting pics like that. Makes my wife roll her eyes at me.
