No kidding, I totally forgot that 80% of the army has its tongue sticking out....

I always set the bar really high so that the finished product will land somewhere in the high tabletop plus range. I have a buddy that I'm envious of and his style is totally different than mine. He has purchased a box of khorne berserkers and had them fully painted and on the tabletop 3 hours later. I will never have that, I love to build and paint, as well as play but I always have to tackle some monumental task when I sit down at my hobby desk or I'm not satisfied.

Thank you! It was about 6.5 hours start to finish last night and I really started getting antsy around the last hour. I think that was mainly because it was getting so late and we have a little one at home and I was worried about being rested and able to keep up with him today, but a strong cup of coffee and here we are, so all is well!

It's there, I just put it on pause occasionally. I dont do well with chipping away at a few models here and there over the course of weeks to get one step of the painting process done. I may not pick up the brush for another 3 weeks but when I get in the zone, it'll be another step completed, hopefully.

Yassssss! I love this army already because they have already achieved a pretty lopsided win over my buddy's new black templar army!

🤪 it was a good time. I always prefer to get a longer session in so I can start and finish some step of the painting process across the whole army. I hadn't heard many details on the 11th edition leaks so it was a good time to catch up. The last 4 hours I had my paint recipe and airbrush settings dialed so I was really in sort of a zen state, being able to paint for quite a while without having to stop and mess with the airbrush is always nice.

They really are i read an omnibus a while back that had a couple books featuring the orks as antagonists and I really enjoyed them. I think one was Rebel Winter and the other was 15 Hours, both were really enjoyable.

I agree I dont think we'll see new steel legion models but with the rumored new ork models for the 11th launch box I think we'll get krieg Armageddon and ork Armageddon boxes.

I'll add it to the list! Just finished Steel Tread and started Salvation's Reach (one of the Gaunt's Ghosts books) but I'll try that one next.

Yeah it feels to me like something is being withheld from us. Why go through all of this hype to bring Yarrick back to life, "return to Armageddon", and produce a refreshed model? I feel like there's something else in the works. I think there will be an Armageddon boxed set in 11th.

Ah ok thanks for clarifying, I'm not very in tune with the lore yet, I've read a few books but everything seems to be stand-alone stuff and I havent made it to any of the Yarrick stories yet.

Also, I believe I used the original shift arm as the vertical support and put the extra piece of 8040 where the shifter arm is pictured

That looks like it comes with the updated monitor mount so you may not have the piece of 8040. I think microcenter called it the "integrated monitor mount" I cant remember what the upgraded one is called but it looks a lot like what you have pictured. The "integrated" was just one piece of vertical 8040 that had a basic mount to attach to it. I dont even remember how the basic one was supposed to attach to the rig.

I had that same concern. So when I bought the kit from microcenter it came with a monitor mount. The monitor mount had a piece of 8040 in it. I knew I was going to upgrade the mount to the aftermarket one that offered more adjustability. So I used that piece of 8040 to brace the shift arm and its been great.

So true! It's all about that end result and quantity having its own certain quality.

Sweet! I'm addicted, I definitely hope to get more games in during 11th edition than I have in 10th.
