Not so much happening right here, hobbywise, the final week or so. I have been… distracted by different issues.
I did begin rebasing all of the outdated Noise Marines… properly… eighteen of them that I can use. Unsure what I will do with the brand new ones. I will most likely assemble and paint them in some unspecified time in the future for funsies. Possibly only one squad of them and unload the others? I do not know.
A number of weeks again Orion was heading to Calgary to play in a Warhammer Underworlds Match (a qualifier occasion for the World Championships with a number of Golden Tickets out there!) so I had a perusal of the Sentry Containers on-line catalogue to see if there was something she might choose up for me whereas she was there!
Ultimately I discovered a BUNCH of older inventory that I couldn’t cross up… so I ended up simply putting an order to have it mailed to me (it was three squads of older Bolt Motion METAL Italian infantry – that got here with separate head with helmets, solar helmets, bersaglieri helmets, and others – a pair of Breda Machine-guns and a squad of Gurkhas) all significantly lower than the present advised retail…
Sadly with the Mail Order Minions went searching for these items they may solely discover the Gurkhas and figured the opposite gadgets had been ghosts within the machine – outdated information that had not bee purged… I did not need to pay for delivery for simply that… so I requested Orion if she would choose that up for me…
And he or she did…
Extra Gurkhas.
That is the third squad I’ve of Gurkhas making a full platoon…
Sadly… I had THOUGHT these would even be older inventory and thus the identical metallic ones that I have already got… however they’re NOT!? Someway I might missed that, regardless of being the identical fashions, they’re now made out of resin…. Ugggghhhhh…
Now, I’ve different resin fashions and I do not love them, however I’ve made peace with them… however I usually solely use them in plastic armies… I also have a few Bolt Motion resin, however they’re principally solitary weapons groups… there’s something about having a full squad of infantry made out of resin when the others are all metallic that bugs me, although…
I had thought I’d simply knock these out instantly and have that power COMPLETELY DONE!! However now I’m so dismayed by the truth that they’re resin, they’ve moved waaaaaaaaaay down the curiosity/precedence record…
I’d get to them in some unspecified time in the future…
I did base them the opposite night time. Just one was actually warped and it was solely the bayonet, so I simply carved if off that one.
Additionally within the final week or so, some Fallshirmjäger help parts confirmed up..
I knew after I ordered them these ones had been going to be resin… however they had been low-cost and this delivery was free… so…
