Baby Steps

Spent most of yesterday organizing my models into squads and trying to find appropriate backpacks for the models.  Had to scratch build a couple and use an old Space Wolf Scout backpack.  Then I started working on the vehicles.  I had to do a lot of work on the Land Raider to get it to where I was happy with it.  I scratch built the missing drive train from a section of sprue (I was lucky to have some of the Land Raider parts still on the sprue).  I got the Land Raider Primed.

Tonight I'm working on the Rhinos.  One is already taken care of, as are the two Whirlwinds.  I should have a decent mechanized Crimson Fist army when all is said and done.  Still need to take a look at the rules for the vehicles in general and the specific rules for the ones I have.

I was stoked to find an old Large Monster Base to put my Dreadnought on.  I also rebased all my Terminators to the original small bases that they were packaged with.

I really miss how easy it is to trim lead models.  Pewter is so much more rigid.  Much of the flash (yes, there is flash on the old models still) can be taken care without even using a knife or file.

Once the models are primed and at least base coated dark blue I plan on getting a couple photos of them up here.

The Furibundus Dreadnought is finished, for the most part, as are some of the models from back when I was working on this army for 4th Edition.  I'll get some photos of those up here soon.
