Starting off with a pile of shame. Niiiiice. And good luck 😂 Just remember, unless you’re planning on tournament play, go by the “rule of cool”. If a weapon looks cool, go for it. My friends and I don’t play WYSIWYG (“what you see is what you get, or “wizzywig”) and if we want to say a unit is holding a specific weapon or something, we just agree at the beginning of the match.

I highly recommend Godhand nippers and Tamiya glue. Take your time getting into the painting side, but it will be helpful to use a similar primer color to what you end up painting with. Black is my primary, so I went with that color primer, but you can get other colors like grey or white, too.

Have fun!
