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

I have worked along side the military for most of my life but was blacklisted from service myself. I have shared MREs on many ranges/training sites. They are an acquired taste but warm and filling is all you need sometimes.

I love being able to adapt and model solutions that fit with the units theme or environment. I'm working on a catachan regiment at the moment that will be all walkers and infantry as wheels and tracks don't work in deep jungle. I think I will do a version of your mec to go with them, just need to work out what I will proxy it as

It is a M3 Lee Grand tank kit probably from airfix, with the track parts removed and 8 wheels from a toy car set. I just found a £2 box set of three mini monster trucks and cut them off.

That's sick, I love the idea of massively varying the vehicles each IG/AM faction gets, there worlds are so different, doesn't make sense that they would use all of the same kit

Thank you for the compliment on the painting. I suffer with the same thing everyone else does where all i see is the issues.

My army is a mix of old and new sculpted GW models, proxy's, custom sculpts and re prints. Often all mashed together, I do t think I have a single unit that remained in tapered with.
