march10k Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I decided to try a GK Libby as an ally for my IG, partly for daemon insurance, and partly because IG don't have access to ML3. And if it works out well, I may just upgrade to a tiny GK CAD in order to make the libby my (less squishy) warlord. And from there, who knows...maybe a PAGK list in its own right? For now, I'm slowly (since I have ELT vows to complete, and want to finish my stormtrooper air cav formation before getting too deep into the next big thing) building up five strikes. Looking at the sprue, I saw two shoulder pads that look remarkably similar to deathwatch shoulder pads. Do GK serve in the deathwatch? That would surprise me...whether they do or not, the shoulder pads are FANTASTIC, and I had eight of them laying around, so my first five-man strike squad will all have those opposite the chapter pad, in lieu of their personal heraldry (although, as the fluff says, heraldry can go anywhere, not just on the shoulder pad, so maybe they'll get it on a knee or something...later). So how does this look, so far? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292505-building-a-squad-of-strikes-one-piece-of-plastic-at-a-time/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerian Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Those two pads in the sprue are meant for the squad's Justicar (i.e. Sergeant). The one that you put on your model's right arm in the pics would go on the Justicar's left arm, and the similar pad with the name scroll goes on his right arms.

march10k Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 Ah, well, I never was all that much of a traditionalist. My DA have black bolters instead of red... I do appreciate the explanation of the purpose of the two pads on the sprue! I think my Justicar will get the scroll one on the sprue to set him apart from the other four, who will get the deathwatch pads. I'm really disappointed in the writing on the scroll on the leg in the last pic, that's already been removed for redoing.

lt051 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Never understood how people write on those scripts lol, all of mine just have fake cursive, same as the book on your models chest. Progress looks really good so far :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292505-building-a-squad-of-strikes-one-piece-of-plastic-at-a-time/#findComment-3721302 Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Well, my focus is still on ETL, so progress here is slow, but I did manage to finish the halberd: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292505-building-a-squad-of-strikes-one-piece-of-plastic-at-a-time/#findComment-3723892 Share on other sites More sharing options...
