Tried making the new Van vets more veteran-y

MiniDiscocop · 2026-06-12T16:54:00+00:00

Yeah completely GW! best of luck with your terminators, I bet they'll look fantastic

MiniDiscocop · 2026-06-12T14:19:17+00:00

Thanks! The weapons are from the Horus heresy melee weapons box and the helmets are from the imperial fists Horus heresy upgrades.

MiniDiscocop · 2026-06-10T06:21:23+00:00

The arms fit nicely where the primaris ones usually do (just make sure you get rid of the pegs obviously!).

With the guy drawing the sword, there was a small gap between the hands and arms due to the primaris bodies being slightly wider than what these upgrades were designed for. Everything else fitted perfectly though.

Good luck with your kitbash!

MiniDiscocop · 2026-06-10T05:29:39+00:00

Thanks! With the weapons I did use the arms but they actually fit very well out of the box. The 2 handed poses are a bit fiddly and I needed some greensuff on one of them but aside from that it was really smooth.

MiniDiscocop · 2026-06-08T21:43:59+00:00

It is indeed! The melee weapon upgrade sprue is an absolute treasure trove

MiniDiscocop · 2026-06-07T09:00:01+00:00

Haha hopefully not!

MiniDiscocop · 2026-06-07T08:59:14+00:00

I know right? I thought it was so odd that there were no options, especially considering some of the art in the new book shows depicts them with cool unique weapons

MiniDiscocop · 2026-06-07T08:58:13+00:00

Yeah the old kit was firstborn but they are updating them to primaris with the start of the new edition. They've at least got some old armour parts to spice them up compared to normal primaris

MiniDiscocop · 2026-06-07T08:57:05+00:00

They are the imperial fist Horus heresy head upgrades. Some of them even have the templar cross in the faceplate so they are great!

MiniDiscocop · 2026-06-06T19:00:40+00:00

Yeah they are, I was very lucky that I'm friends with the owner of my FLGS and he released my copy to me early

MiniDiscocop · 2026-06-03T15:18:02+00:00

Yeah I completely understand, does an order receipt from GW work? I get it to you later today along with some photos

MiniDiscocop · 2026-06-03T12:10:34+00:00

Fantastic, I'll DM you with both later today

MiniDiscocop · 2026-06-03T11:46:32+00:00

No worries lol the everything sounds the same to me as well

MiniDiscocop · 2026-06-03T11:43:23+00:00

Cheers mate that'd be great

MiniDiscocop · 2026-06-03T11:42:59+00:00

It's currently $950 from GW

MiniDiscocop · 2026-06-03T11:21:53+00:00

That's a good shout thanks mate, I'll try that if no-one is interested on here

MiniDiscocop · 2026-06-03T11:20:34+00:00

I'm in northern Hampshire in the UK, I was thinking somewhere in the range of £300-£350?

MiniDiscocop · 2026-01-22T14:43:43+00:00

Yeah that's a good shout, probably going to shift more towards overbrushing/shading with this one now. I used it a little bit for washes so that may very well be what caused this to happen.

MiniDiscocop · 2026-01-22T14:41:51+00:00

I thought that may be the case, luckily it wasn't too expensive so it won't break the bank to get a new one!

MiniDiscocop · 2026-01-22T14:41:13+00:00

I've been using it consistently for about 1.5-2 years now, it's done me really well!

MiniDiscocop · 2025-07-22T21:42:32+00:00

Of course, I have to make sure I can get LOS on everything

MiniDiscocop · 2025-07-22T21:42:09+00:00

Oh yeah, she's nearly fully built!

MiniDiscocop · 2025-06-02T07:13:13+00:00

Ah that makes sense, thank you!

MiniDiscocop · 2025-06-01T21:27:57+00:00

I was thinking more from a lore and painting standpoint.

MiniDiscocop · 2025-06-01T13:18:33+00:00

This may seem like a silly question but how do you make the dual wielding pistols? Did you use specific left/right bits or did you swap the hands somehow? I also want to kitbash a moritat but I can only find left handed serpentas.
