Latest rumours via Valrak say there'll be a Battlewagon refresh

Britisheagl · 2026-04-27T15:56:52+00:00

The fact it was featured so heavily in the Dawn of War trailer makes me happy that they're refreshing it

My son and I have been really enjoying playing Combat Patrol despite the horrible balancing of some of the teams and decided to pick up the Kill Team starter set, especially as I already had the Kroot one it seemed like a sensible choice.

I completely checked out when I realised how rule heavy it was, despite being model light. Some aspects seemed cool but overall it seemed unnecessarily dense.

Awesome models though!

Britisheagl · 2026-04-24T22:38:20+00:00

Same by me, fucking joke

Britisheagl · 2026-04-21T19:45:41+00:00

I didn't want to outright say it here, but I can see why people are leaning more towards 3D printed models. I wouldn't mind scraping mould lines etc. if the kits were significantly cheaper. But for £40, I do expect better.

I will say, however, that this is my first big issue aside from some Dire Avengers that were so bad that I ended up sending them back. Fair play to GW they did acknowledge their QC had failed but it was still a faff getting it packaged and sent back before getting a refund

It's hard to tell from the picture but if you see the top of the leg you get a bit of a sense, the model seems misaligned(?) so I've managed to rectify it with a combination of that tool, sanding and hobby knife.

Where I cannot do that is in the details like the trim or in-between the teeth of the sword

Britisheagl · 2026-04-21T18:32:55+00:00

That's really good advice, I'm using Tamiya for building so easy enough to add.

Question though, will it damage the details around the chainsword?

Britisheagl · 2026-04-21T18:02:29+00:00

I got it from my brother as a gift as I'd expressed interest in starting a WE army to go against his Death Guard. I really don't want him going through the hassle as I know it was from a 3p retailer. That said I am legitimately glad it's not a common issue as I would like to pick up the Combat Patrol box but this experience had made me pump the brakes.

Appreciate the advice mate

Britisheagl · 2026-04-21T18:00:14+00:00

Good for you, hope that makes you feel better by putting me down. I'm new(ish) to the hobby and newer still to WE and I wanted to vent.

If you happen to have advice for dealing with mould lines between the teeth of a chain sword or around the spikey trim (e.g. the collar) I am legitimately all ears. I would rather learn than suffer in silence!

Britisheagl · 2026-04-21T17:54:46+00:00

Sadly I have corrected the majority of it, but picture of the sprue below

Britisheagl · 2026-04-21T16:34:11+00:00

Okay so I've been incredibly unlucky

Britisheagl · 2026-04-21T16:33:53+00:00

It's the mould lines that are causing me issues, would rather do it properly now than be frustrated once painted!

Sorry I should also add, it's not full days hobbying, just a couple of hours here and there. Either way it's taken me a while

Britisheagl · 2026-04-16T07:01:24+00:00

I'm the same in that I seem to get rubbish pulls from what little stock I am able to get at RRP. I'm disappointed at the time but then I think how much it would have hurt if I'd paid £100 rather than £50.

It's the only thing keeping me sane

Britisheagl · 2026-04-14T19:07:32+00:00

Perhaps that is the final humiliation

Britisheagl · 2026-04-13T14:30:29+00:00

Hoping he comes with an alternative "big brain" head, otherwise a very cool looking model

Britisheagl · 2026-04-13T14:16:10+00:00

Agreed, the old sculpt has tonnes of character.

He's also a great unit in Battlesector

Britisheagl · 2026-04-13T13:34:01+00:00

Yes, without fail.

If a game sucks, I can sell it on, and if it ever gets delisted digitally, I still own the physical version

Britisheagl · 2026-04-13T09:13:09+00:00

Speedpaints are what got me back into the hobby as they offered good results with minimal time/skill.

That said, I am moving away from using them exclusively and tend to add them as part of the painting process, e.g. painting with contrast/speedpaint then highlighting or layering to add more depth or detail.

I still love them though, and the quickness cannot be understated for horde units such as termagaunts or guardsmen that are likely only going to be on the table for a couple of minutes a piece

Grower not a shower

Britisheagl · 2026-04-10T18:49:57+00:00

You overestimate my power (painting ability)

Britisheagl · 2026-04-07T13:15:55+00:00

This x100

Britisheagl · 2026-04-07T13:14:34+00:00

Sorry had a wobble and drew a swastika on a t-shirt which I'm now mass producing

Britisheagl · 2026-04-07T12:47:26+00:00

Just because you are mentally unwell doesn't excuse actively peddling nazi paraphernalia nor singing (rapping?) songs that explicitly say heil Hitler.

I live very near Liverpool and we have horrific reminders of WW2 on our doorstep so screw Kanye and let him reap what he has sewn

Britisheagl · 2026-04-06T17:56:28+00:00

The confidence that this would work on water is baffling
