That is crazy.

 

Here, it adds about 50% to the cost.

 

Yup, it really is.

 

Let's not start discussing GW's pricing policies, but as an example, I'll use a New Zealand price (GW uses the same pricing 'policy' for us as they do for Australia):

 

Plastic Predator: NZ$98.00

Forge World Mk IVc Predator (resin/plastic hybrid kit): NZ$79.50 (doesn't have all the options, and does not include shipping, but as long as I don't order more than £200 I also don't have to pay import tax)

 

Wasn't always the case of course. GW used to be cheaper, and Forge World prices are fairly unchanging, and the British pound used to be a fair bit stronger.

 

That's enough off-topic from me. Looking forward to Balthamal's veteran squad!

 

(Yes, I lurk in this thread every so often!)

The rear fan needs some detail. But for the most part everything is glued together and painted!

I can see where you might have to sneak that puppy up on someone, but that Magna-melta really has the power to ruin someone's day. I like the Caestus version because you can zoom around and it's harder for someone to stay away from it.

 

But this'll work. I guess I just added another inventory item to my backlog of project work.  :)

I know I'm going to hate myself, but I'm already saving to get some FW goodies to start a 30k army. Australia will not be lost to the traitors!

 

Now just to decide if I'm doing my BA or Salamanders ideas first...

Going to have to use my Joker this month as I've been busy with my 'Nids (Heresy, I know) and painting a test model for a friend's Dark Eldar, which I may be painting for him. I'm also sorting out some voluntary work for myself so I'll have less hobby time. :(

 

So my apologies for not being very active lately but I do intend to get my Fists' back on-track soon.

WIP on p.2 for January:

 

http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n60/geektom/image_zps00457f13.jpg

 

Answers the question, "will a true white helmet show as white vs. the light gray that everyone thinks in white?"

 

Um, no.

 

Looks like I am just going to have to accept that they are their own shade of off-white. So now the question becomes, should I even try to use white for veteran/1st Brotherhood, or just paint them the same light gray as the armor?

Have you considered black helms? Maybe with a white stripe?

 

It would stand out and serve as an interesting contrast when compared to your normal scheme.

 

Another potential choice would be a metallic

I'd recommend against the metallics, I tried it on a termi head once, and it just looked funny. I think Black with a white stripe would be pretty awesome though. I do quite like what you've done Geektom.

 

Bathamal, I didn't mention it before, but those are some gorgeous models, and I can't wait to see 'em with arms.

 

Jasp, it's almost unfair, no it is unfair, just how damn good your models are time and time again.

 

Reaper, those guys look tough, like they won't take any lip from anyone, for anything, ever.

 

Demus, I do hope that means that your budget is now a 30K focused spending plan, and not you're out of the hobby itself.

 

Over in the Interest Check thread, you can see what else I worked on this month. Starting Feb 1, you"ll be able to follow A Tale of Texas gamers, and watch as the November Warriors continue to grow.
