Kind of a quick update. The bolt thrower, crew and Bugman’s cart was primed black.
As well as som parts for the choppers.
I need to paint the interior and probably the bombs as well before continuing with the build.
I’ll try to solve it somehow with masking of some kind.
Next up on the table was my Ironbreakers and Irondrakes.
I made 2 groups of bodies with 10 in each. There are 4 of each body with a slight difference between them.
The Ironbreakers was assembled first.
The figures are fairly easy to build with very nice fit. The Irondrakes was a bit harder as both arms had to fit together in order to hold the weapon properly.
Games Workshop have made quite a few versions of the White Dwarf on their magazine with the same name. The figure is called Grombrindal and it turned out that I have one of the early ones.
I just have to paint him with white beard and all.
I also have two of the newer versions, the slayer and the latest 400th ed WD.
Some of the figures I have are made of white metal and even if I bought them recently they’re fairly old.
It takes more work to build a metal modell and the fit isn’t as good on newer ones in plastic.
Once I got all the pieces sorted and glued in place my Bolt thrower looks like this.
Next I’ll sort the crew for it. Not as much to do except cleaning them up and glue them to their bases.
I also have Bugman’s cart to build, which also is in metal. That will be the next project on my table.
Some time ago I bought the Mountain holds battalion box, which I haven’t started building yet. I also bought a few other boxes.
The first one was the King and Thane with shield bearers.
I could say that it’s fairly easy to build and being quite new, it is.
The three shield bearers.
The king built as well! I opted for the Odin helmet and great weapon.
I also thought it would be best to paint the shield bearers first, but after checking the fit, I had to rethink that a bit. More about that later.
There’s also a Thane figure, that I for some reason forgot to take pics of.
Next up is a set of Hammerers. A box with 20 figures that can either be built as Hammerers or Longbeards, or 10 of each with full command. I choose the latter option.
With them done I moved on to building some cannons.
The kit is a bit old, but went together pretty well. It’s possible to either build 2 cannons or 2 organ guns, or one of each.
Each crew member can have different arms which gives them a bit of variation.
It seems like I’m forgetting to take pics, but here’s the next one I’ve built.
After checking GW’s site about Grombrindal, I found out that the Slayer is one of the versions. I just have to paint his beard and hair white.
Here’s a pic of how the army looks like right now.
Next up will be these two boxes.
Once they’re built and painted I’ll have well over 2000 points or closer to 2500 even.
