Model is built and primed..but I've hit a little snag after getting injured at work and surgery on my wrist. I will complete my oath though..it just may not be at the level I was hoping to put out. :/

It's the thought that counts :thumbsup:

I'm pretty confident we're all in it for the participating and not for the receiving, so don't stress too much about it and enjoy yourself

Just need to glue some magnets in and we'll be ready for prime and paint.

Magnets!? You are upping the ante. All I’m saying is I have started at least and it is definitely *inspired* by my recipient’s collection, but whether it will really fit in alongside I don’t know … it’s tricky to match shades and basing textures, let alone highlights etc.

At least at the arms, it isn't too hard to magnetize, and I figured it would probably survive shipping better that way.

I spoke with Trokair, and unfortunately the model didn't survive shipping without wounds :wallbash:. He has some repairs to make, but wants to focus on his secret santa to make sure it ships in time. I'm going to go ahead and post the pictures, and he can post additional once he get it fixed up, though it may be a while. Hopefully it inspires others to complete their gifts :)

First of all a very big thank you to twopounder for an excellent jump captain on secondment to the Deathwatch.  I was going to leave the box unopened until the right time, but I heard a little rattle as I tried to put the box away, so had to open it and check, all is repairable.

Great work Brother Santa, cool spesh parts too!

 

Bet those flappy bits broke???

They did indeed. Which is only thematic as the same little flapy things broke on my first set of Reivers and I have left them of/trimmed them of on subsequent models, including the suppressors if I recall right.

Now I'm afraid to ship mine lolz.

I was all set to ship the other day, but I caught the Rona and didn't get to the post shop as the old ladies there don't want me to infect them.

Early next week for sure...and I'll recked the packing to keep it safe(r).

Just add more purity seals than I did. :ermm:

A good blessing or prayer to the Emperor might also help.

If the worst happen then I am sure your recipient can carry out some minor repairs.

Had a spare half hour while some paint was drying, so on to repairs.
