Not sure how many have had a go at putting together Forgeworld Heresy Space Marines, I find putting the arms and bolter on really hard.
1. Holding the resin together after applying the super glue without sticking my fingers to the resin is a pain
2. Then making sure the Bolter fits in-between the hands without breaking the arms off again.

I found putting a layer of Liquid Green stuff on the joints gave the superglue some coarseness to bond.

Anyway - finally managed to get the arms, bolter, head and shoulder pads on.


That's 35 Tactical Space Marines with Bolters (including Sergeant, Vox and backbanner), plus a Squad of Support Marines with Plasma Guns.

Add to this Loken Garvial and the two Apothecaries.


Finally decided to put together Abaddon as well, decided to go with the Combi Bolter than the Sword, though my Sons of Horus will...

So assembling Dwarf King's Hold is part of my Q2 Hobby Challenge

Just finished the 10 Revenants (Armoured Skeletons) for the game as well. There's also a Pit of Souls (used in the game) and a Pile of Bones (you get counters for these, but if you had enough Mantic skellies, as I do with a 1k army, you could use "actual" piles), and a Skeleton Rat (used in Kings of War).



6 of the models on the sprue are sculpted Revenants, the other 4 are Skeleton Torsos with blinged up heads and armour pieces to be stuck on (which works fine IMO).

They were nice models to put together:
- mould lines have been run...

When I said I was interested in the new Eldar, I was given some figures. A Farseer (metal) 3 Warlocks (metal, but not going to use them). A box of plastic Dire Avengers (10 in a box! not 5 like the new sets). Some plastic guardians (not using as they've been butchered with glue) and a built plastic Falcon ( bit messy, but workable).

This week I've been painting up the Farseer and the Ranger squad. I trimmed the fin off the back of the Farseer's Helm. I think they look better without.




To do the blades I started with a white base, over which a used a watered down Scorpion Green. I then selective used Thraka Green wash to make parts o the blade...
