Planning Weapon Building

 Spent the day at work and trying to work out what way to arm this version. My initial plan is to blend the axe from the Björn kit and the  hammer from the Helbrute kit on 1 arm, the other arm will have the claws and potentially the shield as well. I'm also thinking of building the cannon arm and missile launcher arms as well to give me some flexibility on load outs.

I'd really like to see how the mech tendrils will look with the claws but I've only got enough for what I have and can't find a set of the decorated claws to try this on ebay currently. 

Building Day

 I dug the Helbrute and the Björn out today and first off tried the wolf skull as the head.

Which was pretty good look, then tried the Wolfen head, which once I'd got a good looking fit I opted for over the skull.

There is no going back... The upper hull was put together after I'd done the legs.

Now I'm not to sure which of the chest pieces to go with, the Murder Fang plate will need some green stuff pipe work on it as I'm not fitting the horns to it. 

Testing Paint Scheme

 I built the Royal Warden and the Lt the other day.

I think this works as a colour scheme, just need to give it a nuln oil wash and to give the cables a colour, thinking black. 

Imperium Issue 1

 I shared these with my friends last night, image is definitely photoshopped, not everything is on that table at one time.

From previous chats a close up of the aggressors had been requested as on the digital versions the resolution had been to low to work out what they were.

And then we noticed that Pri Marnius Calgar is there as well as Rowboat, which I think makes the guy with the robe and storm shield an honour guard, as I wasn't sure what they were. 

Primed.

Not much time to do much yet, only thing I've managed to do is get a primer coat on the sprues for the Hounds of Morkai, which I'll be painting in the Pre Magnus thousand sons colours and the Helbrute which is for the Dornian Heresy Björn Time Line, which means greys, reds and gold. 

 

Heavy Work Schedule

Placed an order this week for the last Dreadnought, okay Helbrute, that I need for the Dornian Heresy Björn Time Line Project, I also bought a Hounds of Morkai box to give the Pre Magnus Björn some re-enforcement. Got another pretty busy week next week, with it looking like next weekend, a bit of time on Tuesday and Thursday that'll possibly be able to do something and it's my youngest birthday on the Saturday so don't know what I'll be able to do or start yet as I've not touched anything. 

Bits And Pieces

 I put a lot of time into Destiny 2 on my days off this week, which means very little 40k stuff got done.

I had dropped High Marshal Halbrecht a while ago and broken the sword and candle holder off, so I fixed those this week, getting the sword sat better.

And tidyed up the join on the Assault Cannon.

And while I was packing The Lion away I realised I had done something, so I dug out the various Ezikaels and posed them all together.
