Another month has past and I did get a little work done. Maybe not the most productive month but It is not bad. I got a few new Mechanicum done as well as a present from my friend. Without further ado lets jump..
Domitar battle-automata
The new codex and really opened the door for this model and what really hurts is that the only way (besides printing a copy) is to order the old resin model from Gamesworkshop. The problem there is it has been out of stock for several months if not years. You would think if you wanted your players to use a model you would release one to be used. Anyway, I printed one up and got to all painted up. Really, I would love to have a full squad of these. I would buy 2 more if they were available. I guess I might have to print some more.
3 Castellax battle-automata
As with the Domitar, the castellax with the bolter cannon has become a vital player in the new codex. I had 2 already primed so adding a third was not much harder. I had the kit waiting for me to decide how to finish him. So, I built the third one and primed him and now painted him. I have found a groove on how to paint these where it is not to much of a hassle. I would like to have a fourth to fill out the squad but for now three will do.
Printed Castellax battle-automata
Speaking of finishing a squad, I finished building my fourth darkfire cannon castellax. I use the weapon from the kit on top of a printed model to give it more of a authentic look. While from afar they look close but when you really look at them you can tell. In the end I am happy with them.
Rogue Idol of Gork
This last item was a gift from a buddy of mine. He had a buddy dumping models and this was one of them. The idol used to be an ork model back in the day. It might be a legend item now but I am not sure. I might try to proxy it as a bossrok tower if I ever use it but it is a cool model to just display in my case.
Well that is all for this month. The reaver too longer than I expected. I decided to change up its feet and leg armor so that took some time creating the files and printing out test pieces. I am in love with how it ended up so I am not sad. I have finished printing and have the model in pre-assembled pieces. Now comes the sanding and then painting and he will be ready for a big game. I doubt I will ever make anything bigger since the top of that was like 6 pieces. Maybe I will look to see what the Warlord would take before completely writing it off. On other notes the Votann had a huge drop and major rules revamp so I am getting ready to lean into that next. September will see some of them getting worked on.
Cya next month…
