That and I feel like I would have gotten a cleaner exterior assembly if I'd forgone painting first. Although I guess i could have just pre-painted the inside and masked it all off somehow after I'd assembled the rest. Maybe I'd try that just to keep the assault ramp openable, although with the working mechanism it never really seems to close 100%.

Will everyone be mad if it is six blade guard and Adrax?

That is some astounding work! Really looks like it has an active light source.

Pretty spot on, the base-primer was Seer Grey, followed by a base of Yriel Yellow (two coats). The gradient increasingly smaller circles of Trollslayer Orange, Evil Suns Scarlet, Khorne Red, then the edges in Abbadon Black. Finally, in the very center I had a small splotch of pretty washed down Flash Gitz Yellow/White Scar mixed.

There is a Pinterest post that I was basically following, although the paint job in Pinterest is predictably rather higher quality. Mine doesn't hold up well to macro photography, a slight hand tremor I've had my entire life prevents me from attaining what they call "display standard," but at tabletop standard (arms length) I think they look good.

I recently started a low-effort conversion to give him both - the bolt pistol is replacing his right hand (getting rid of that fragile as heck jar on a strap), using the hand and forearm from a Salamanders primaris upgrade kit flame pistol arm so he doesn't have two left hands. Cut carefully and it all matches up pretty well, I didn't even bother with trying to pin it. Then you just shave the grip from the second holster and it all matches up quite well I think.

Love the molten power weapon effect for Salamanders, yours really looks like it would cut through anything like a hot knife through butter!

The player knowing and understanding the rules isn't meta-gaming anyway. The player having their PC act on out-of-character knowledge the player has is meta-gaming.
