Frostmourne Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Haha i COMPLETELY get were you are coming from. But all i did was literally take his right arm, (Left as you look at it), line it up with the pic on the FW site, and then just risked it for biscuits and glued it on. And then glued the other arm after lining the sword up, and it went straight on. There is a bit of a buckle/ strap from the Scarbard which needs to connect with the belt, but doesnt really matter how, so there is alot more play in it than you would have thought.

Praefectus Invictus Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Sweet thanks, as it's my first time working with FW models I am trying to be extra careful.

Frostmourne Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Just make sure to wash them properly and it should be a dream. Probably took me half hour from spru to compelted model.

lionofjudah Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Lol... Getting the arms even for the sword draw was a pita for me... I am a master at super glueing my fingers together;).. Did that several times before I finally got them even and square. Luckily shoulder pads can help a lil if you fudge the arms some as you can always file the insides a tad Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303417-frostmourne-project-log/page/2/#findComment-3950382 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slips Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Man, you're lucky that you got the guy drawing his sword done easy. My problem is that the wrist of the hand on the scabbard wouldn't line up, at all, with the arm. ..so I put a dollop of greenstuff in there >_> Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303417-frostmourne-project-log/page/2/#findComment-3950448 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praefectus Invictus Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 My sword is warped, the blade and scabbard are bent. Time to use the hairdryer.

Frostmourne Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Na i havnt, but im happy to gear them like that for a while, if i ever want to i, i will buy more, but i am magnetising the Heavy Support guys as someone donated me some Missile Launchers today, so will be doing that. Will also magnetise the Special weapons, as i am using thee Marines as Vets for Pride of the Legion. And obviously on the ArmourAnd no i actually havnt got a test scheme up, and the reason is simply, i dont have any Undercoat/ Primer yet, got to wait for Wednesday when i get some more dollar for that. Then i can give it a good go on some of my old Dark Vengeance Marines. Loving how AWESOME these models look comparitively next to Dark Vengeance and a such like.

Frostmourne Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Ok so i have made a list, for this army, which is my almost slaptogether slapdash list to get me into games with my Campaign as soon as possible, i do intend to change it up alot at a later date, but i have some almost primary concerns if anyone would like to help. Legion Praetor-Cataphractti Armour-Paragon Blade-Digital Lasers-Master Crafter-Pride of the Legion-185Legion Centurion-Artificer Armour-Plasma PistolConsul, Master of SignalsLegion Command Squad-+1 Chosen-+4 Suits of Cataphractti Armour-x3 Lightning Claws-Thunderhammer-Reaper Autocannon-230Land Raider Phobos-Extra Armour-Armoured Ceramite-280 Legion Veteran Squad-+5 Veterans-Nuncio Vox-Vexilla-Power Sword-+2 Melta Guns-Artificer Armour-260Legion Veteran Squad-+5 Veterans-Nuncio Vox-Legion Vexilla-+2 Heavy Bolters with Suspension Webs-260Deredeo Dreadnought-Armoured Ceramite-Aiolos Missile System-240Legion Landspeeder-Heavy Bolter-Heavy Bolter-65Legion Landspeeder-Multi Melta-Graviton Gun-Hunter Killer Missiles x2-95Legion Heavy Support Squad-+5 Lascannons-Augory Scanner-245Legion Sicaran Battle Tank-Lascannons-175This comes in at something like 2150, and i am trying to get it to 2500But some problems i am having, i HATE only having 4 Terminators with the Praetor to make them fit in a Land Raider, so i have to opt for the Command Squad and not the regular Terminator Squads which are alot cheaper. I dont have the real money to buy alot of marines, so large squads of 20 marines isnt viable yet, hence Pride of the Legion. But i dont want this to be such a nerf that i feel the loss of every Marine like a stab wound. This is also more a collection of things i already own, but does anyone have any suggestions on what to do to make this feel a little more competetive. I will be playing, in the campaign, alot of Eldar, Nids, Necrons and Chaos Marines. Oh and one Word Bearer using 30k Rules, i must crush him.

Slips Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 If you need a 300 point brick of a vehicle that can rival the Spartan in terms of toughness, theres the Land Raider Achilles-Alpha. It gives you a quad mortar, 2 TL Culverins (or multi meltas), Immunity to Lance and Melta and a bunch of other stuff to keep it moving and dishing out the hate. Great points sink if you need one. Not really the most efficient choice though. But, since you're up against Eldar, giving the middle finger to their Lance weaponry might be worth the price of admission alone.

Frostmourne Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 I'm rethinking the LR now that this list is effectively defunct based on my Praetor Choices and his accompanying unit. I need a CC based unit for him to ride with. Any thoughts?
