Marshal Rohr Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 From my understanding only the big stuff is cast to order, because of the size and larger molds. The infantry upgrades and the like stay in bins read for purchase. Also, if it's got air bubbles or something, that is a miscast. If it's bent or warped, most of the time that is a function of rapid temperature changes in the transportation process (it's really hot in the plane on the ground, and freezing in the air).

Fire Golem Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Well mine won't go on a plane so fingers crossed, but I meant more like air bubbles and stuff, they're quite common in FW models aren't they?

Daemon2027 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 They used to be, not so much any more. You get the odd kit that is a bit crap, but if its to bad they will happily replace.

daemonclaw Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 i found it worked great with just water ,lightly dampen either side each time you put new greenstuff on and you should be fine .if not a touch of babyoil would be perfect good luck bud Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295904-casual-30k-hobby-challenge-month-1/page/18/#findComment-3805865 Share on other sites More sharing options...

zedmeister Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Good to see more progress. As for a report, not much to tell. I've finished off 5 bodies of the White Scars, which I'll photograph soon, and made a start on 5 of my Alpha Legion marines with a metallic base coat. Just had a set of Game Air goodies arrive and my next step is to crack open the Air Brush.

Daemon2027 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I have a little progress on my Iron Farther count as, just need to smooth some bits and add some detail like rivets. However, I have no idea where to place his ranged weapon. I was thinking of giving him a Combi-plasma.

StruManChu Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 He is looking fantastic! I'm ever jealous of people who can use green stuff without it failing spectacularly. In terms of the Combi-weapon, have you considered doing something like Lorenzen did for his Death Guard here?

Daemon2027 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 That is an idea. I am not happy with the chain weapon. Could swap it for the combi bolter, and give him a sheathed sword. May be more Iron Hand like. My gs ability isnt great, its very rough but I am learning and slowly getting better. Its about the right tools and practice.

Iron Hands Fanatic Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I'd suggest putting it on a second servo-arm, but it looks like there isn't room. The strap might work though - just use a chain rather than leather, because *dead* flesh is weak. What don't you like about the chainsword? In terms of which is more IH-esque, I'd go for the chainsword over the sword any day - it's just brutal, which always fits the Iron Tenth.

Still not sure. I could stow it under the power pack I suppose.

Daemon2027 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Here we go, just need to smooth off the rim of the gorget, and we are ready to paint. Combi Plasma is connected by a chain to appease all servants of the Omnissiah. I must admit, having it holstered to the shield would be an awesomely Alpha Legion thing to do...
