The extended loco and tender shells have been printed, cut out and glued, and tested for fit. I've had to make a couple of adjustments to the armour over the piston head to allow the piston to travel fully, and remove some of the armour forward of the piston to allow the front bogey to turn on tight corners. Overall I'm pleased with the result, the train runs round the entire track without getting caught on any of the scenery. It'll go round 1st radius, but will usually be run on 2nd radius curves.

I've been building my IG steadily over the course of 4 years (blimey!) and for the most part it's been neglected, unpainted and a mess of unfinished models. No more! I've always wanted to do a sci-fi inspired army (my initial forays was to mimic the Starship Troopers of the TV show or the Halo marines) This lead to half my army being painted then being stripped after falling out with these scheme. Thus my search to create the perfect Helghast Army started in Summer 09. To that end I have stripped, dissembled nearly all my models, I bought pig iron Kolony heads, a bunch of Elysian stuff and some Helghan inspired models from war factory (I've also ordered some nice custom conversion bits from max minis). After several tests schemes I've settled on what I want, got me plenty of bits for modeling and now I've committed myself to painting 2000pts worth of units (minus vehicles) by September!

So stay tuned as I update with pictures

Managed to start on the Panzertragerwagen wagon, which is a well wagon with folding forward ramp that is designed to carry a Pz 38t light tank. This wagon sits between the Artillery/Flak railcar and the Panzerjagerwagen (flat wagon with Pz IV turret).



Still needs some work around the top of the ramp, and buffers adding.

So I played my first game of Malifaux on Wednesday, against Red Devil.
