oldhat Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Random hobby question I couldn't find after Googling: Would it be possible to cut the FW Mk3 Iron Hands heads down to fit into a Contemptor body? Deredeo? Leviathan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deredeo? Leviathan? Yes but they would look a bit small. The contemptor head is wider, so if you cut a mk3 head to the same height so it fits in the cowling it wouldn't be as wide and would look off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkimaskMohawk Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I finally finished the seekers and their bases...only for all but 1 to be rather firmly stuck to the base lol. So here he is, the least decorated of the 5. In the end, I'm really happy with the solid black secondary, as well as ditching the little gold I had originally gone with. Hope they perform well in the next game I have! Chaeron, GodEmperorOfMankind, Loquille and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacific81 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Random question: Got an old mini that I think has got some lead rot. Is there any point in trying to paint it, or will the blight just come through and spoil the mini eventually? Quite an expensive one to get hold of and I am reluctant to throw away!

Hats off to you, they would be worth a pretty penny on the secondary market right now. Looking forward to seeing them painted. Do you mean *your* second legion or *the* Second Legion?

Ha they were actually from my best mate (he’s a very good friend!). Thanks! Once the heat dissipates I’m gonna start on to some painting. All scrubbed and varnished (plus some Grave Wardens), I’m just gluing them together now. Re: Legion, they’re actually going to be *my* second legion. I like the idea of having an opposed army, and as I despise the pups, I’m going for the XIVth legion who I’ve always been a huge fan of.

I don't know if it will be any help but I had a quick google and found this which may help, doesn't seem like there is anyway to fix it but there is things you can do to stop the rot. I hope that helps in the very least. Pacific81 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacific81 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Thanks @No foes Remain that is super useful! I had tried cleaning with WD40, and warm soapy water, will give those methods a try too. Will report back if it eventually does turn to Nurgle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think around '92/93 (?) the miniature switched to the white metal alloy along with everything else, but this must have been one of the early casts.

They're always needed ;) Besides, there's many reasons for them, multiple legions, a specific army (I once made an army list of 100 marines in a 1.5k list) Or maybe they bought 3 boxes, so 120 marines Marshal Mittens 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacific81 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Try 6/8mm scale for that sort of volume @sarabando, that would be a few hours work LameBeard 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
