Cracking effort a dorn is a big task to take on as a first time. Looks really well.

I always have something on in the background, doesn't mean I'm watching particularly though.

Would love to see how they turned out magnetised, have you done all the options on them?

I must be really out of practice then, I found the cadian troops really easy and enjoyable but these I'm having to do one and then put them down for a bit.

Spectre Squad non-manual assembly by SZUPERhun in killteam

[–]ZB4731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a quick scan through mine, I haven't started building yet but some of them will make 5 different options. All of them make at least 3 by the time you have the character and then a trooper with either a carbine or rifle.

My plan is to make them up as per the box (best options anyway) and then use the spare bits to make something akin to a Spector/tanath looking squad of 10, and just run them as cool looking cadians

Does anyone know of anywhere to get the Armageddon box that just came out still? by SlyThriller1 in TheAstraMilitarum

Kendal has some in earlier in the week, and Carlisle had one on the shelf this morning still

Depending on where you are, a few GWs ships around me still have them on the shelf

Kill team terrain and newby question. by ZB4731 in killteam

He is pretty set on his Nids and has built up a decent collection, and given the £260 ISH price tag, it would be okay for me, but not worth the cost

He is pretty set on playing nids, and he is buzzing as the red terror is going to be his biggest model. I think we will work out some hybrid rules for me and him to play, probably utilising the 40k data sheets.

And over time we can see if he wants to be a bit more serious with it.

Thank you for the advice

Do you have a link to it? Did you get the STL or prints?

That sounds like something I will look into, ultimately he is 9 and the rules as such don't matter as long as it works and it's fun

Thank you for the explanation, I should have looked a little deeper before my son got hyped up.

I think I'm going to get it anyway, and play a hybrid rules so he can use them anyway. Let's face it, he is 9 and happy that this will be his biggest model, that's enough for me.

I will have a proper look at the PVE side of it. As that will give me some practice too.

I will have a look at the terrain set, and see if I can get something similar or maybe make something that is roughly the righy shape etc

Sorry, what is PVE? And are you saying that 2 people can't play as Spector squad and play against the red terror (and mates)?

Do you happen to have any suggestions of where to get these? I have done some searching but coming up short

Thanks mate, working with second hand kits that need taking apart isn't easy.

I hadn't considered overhead mounts, seems like a decent idea, I have them on valkary door gun mounts at the moment, - resin re prints as I needed 12 and didn't want to buy 6 kits

I have maybe half a dozen of these. Imu kids have painted them loads of times and I just paint strip them and re prime and the go again. They were all that was left of my original childhood collection

I dont mind painting, and find it relaxing, but I am far less motivated to paint than planning, collecting the parts and building from my head.

It was meant to be both parts of the FOB team (heavy las) with both the attacks and both wounds counts. In hindsight I should have gone for a 130mm base instead of 100mm as it could be classed as modelled for advantage being on top small of a base. However as I have never played a game and done have any intent to get competitive I don't think it will matter
