Lord Hanaur Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 After building the remaining mining laser armed Neophytes from the Overkill kits, I decided I needed a change :) Dangerous is the mind for whom Change is comfortable, for change assumes fault in the Emperors plan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that he's already an extremis-level xenos heretic, I don't think further heresy is really worth noting ;) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil_bryan Posted October 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Not going for the other version or are you magnetizing? I am still on the fence about this. In a perfect world, I would just buy more of them to run as rock grinders. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonVilkee Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Building is all well and good... But until paint starts drying on plastic I will restrain judgement. You opened up with procrastinating the painting part. You are like me building and playing are where it's at! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 I've got 5 kids to feed! I'm not saying that you should do this, but if you sold off one of your kids you'd have less mouths to worry about and more money for Warhammer. I'm just saying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 I've got 5 kids to feed! You need to pick a hobby. 40k and having kids are both heavy time and money demanding hobbies. Agree with AP, IF you traded or sold off the kid hobby, you'd have much more time and money for 40k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil_bryan Posted November 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Okay, I am happy to report that all 5 Goliaths are completely assembled. In addition, I also assembled the Acolyte Iconward and all* of the Aberrants from the Overkill sets. Why the asterisk? Well, it seems that one of the Aberrant head went missing. So, I will have to figure something out if I am ever crazy enough to field 12 of them at one time. :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil_bryan Posted November 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Five days and no post?!? What have I been up to? The answer to that is Neophytes! I have finished assembly of the 15 Neophytes that came with Goliaths, and 15 additional Neophytes from the Overkill boxes. What's next you may ask? That would be "more Neophytes." :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil_bryan Posted November 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Moar Neophytes! I buckled down and finished the last 20 Neophytes from the Overkill sets To date (not counting the vehicles), I have a growing pile of models calling for paint: Now, it is on to the remaining Acolytes from Overkill. It looks like I have 30 more to build. Once that is done, I still have 45 more models in boxes waiting in the wings. The one task I still need to tackle with the assembled models prior to paint, is to drill out the weapons. Some people reading this may not think model assembly is not terribly difficult or time consuming. I am pretty fanatical about model clean up and assembly, and my process takes several steps. Clip model from sprue, being careful not to deform or break the components Clean up the sprue attachement area with clippers (if needed) Rough file the attachment points Scrape all mold line accessible by blade Fine file remaining areas previously not cleaned up Buff out scratches and rough file work (if needed) Blow off / Brush away debris for final inspection (if needed) Drill out weapon barrels Dry fit components, and determine assembly order Super glue model together Clean up excess glue and glue squeeze out Clamp or hold to ensure proper seating of components Use super glue accelerator as needed Set aside to dry and move to the next model Now, I don't expect everyone to be as OCD as I am with this. I do think that everyone should have a version of this process. It seems crazy to me to spend the money, but not take to time to make the models look good. For the "clip - glue - repeat" crowd, please know that I am silently (or not so silently) judging you for your hobby sins. :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
