Blissful Brushes Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I was on the hunt for eggs this morning at Tesco when a copy of White Dwarf caught my eye. I haven’t bought one of them since I was about 15 (a while ago) and then my eyes fell upon Combat Patrol. Now I’m not entirely sure how good these are usually but I just snagged 2 Deafkoptas (minus bases) for £10 so I think I’m going to keep my eye out for them, at least the next few which seem Orky. As Orks for an important part of my Luna Wolves’ company’s history it is appropriate that I have a little detachment of Orks to squash. I replaced the front wing bits to male them a bit bigger and give space for this laser looking weapon (it’s from the genestealer cult quadbike) and I hooked up a weird looking gantry for a machine gun using a bent bit of sprue for the other. Turns out I can’t just build models, I have to convert something somewhere. anyway this is my offering and if anyone has any good advice on the magazine please let me know!

Firedrake Cordova Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Really nice conversions - once they're painted, I'm sure it'll be hard to tell they're not "as GW intended" Blissful Brushes 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386408-combat-patrol/#findComment-6125771 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blissful Brushes Posted October 30 Author Share Posted October 30 Thanks! They were quite fun to build. I did make a vow since then that I’m just going to build and paint instead of mess around with every model that crosses my path - at least on the combat patrol front. I have since managed to get all of the Votann combat patrol issues, which came out to £80 for what I think is around £180 ish. I haven’t a sausage if it’s a decent set of models in terms of gaming. I was outraged to find that the Khal retails for £28 right now for a mono-pose model that’s 40% base. Still, they were pretty fun to build and I think Combat Patrol will be my guilty pleasure for when I can’t be bothered to convert my marines Grotsmasha, Rusted Boltgun, Heraclite and 3 others 4 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386408-combat-patrol/#findComment-6139449 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedrake Cordova Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 The magazines are often very good value (relative to buying the models separately), so it looks like you did very well indeed. The prices on some of the character models can be quite painful these days.
