As I type  its currently the 25th June. Yesterday at 9 in the morning, me and my oldest son took a trip to town and collected this:

(the battleboards are just peeking out at the top there)

I had hoped to get stuck in with building but family life had other ideas!

So, late last night, I finally got to work.

The hardest part was choosing what to build first:

After some deliberation, I got to work on these two:

It was sort of fitting that I started with the two leaders I guess.

I had no issues with the build with either of the pair but there was a slight annoyance with the Terminator Captains head refusing to go on the peg, but I got it.

The Prime went together flawlessly. I'll say that GW need to work out where they're putting their gates though, they could stand to take lessons from Bandai Namco in that regard.

At any rate (and a surprising 30 minutes later) I had these ready for a priming:

I know several people have commented on the Primes design, saying they'd prefer a more wings out approach but I quite like him like this. Makes him easier to store and transport!

The Terminator Captain is nice enough but he'll be waiting a while before he gets paint on him. The Nids will be taking centre stage with the Call to Arms event!

So for Day 1, I'm 1 sprue down, 11 more to go....

Hopefully I can get more done tonight.

Keep hobbying!
