A slight update

So first of all, hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year and you all got what you wanted. So now that's over, updates.

I got paid early last month and there was much money given so yay but thanks to my mother getting the Christmas break off, no large boxes for Forge World could arrive in case of argument. However, by the time I finish typing this, the next order will be just that. The VIIIth are about to get heavy armour...(cue maniacal laugh, you'll see why when I do the unboxing next week)

So I also said that I was nearly finished building the last order, well it's done as you can see. They will all be painted; slowly but they will be painted, promise. As usually, pictures aren't great but I think that's more to do with them being purely black, sucks in all the details. It'll be different ideally when they're in midnight clad.

A bitch to build, mainly because of not realizing that launchers+backpacks=downward launchers. Once I'd worked that one out, it was easier to do. My advice if you want them shooting is either cut off the right vent or order the packs from here. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Space_Marines/Space_Marine-Infantry-and-Accessories/SPACE_MARINE_HEAVY_WEAPONS_SET.html

 Close ups, obviously

 And the long mentioned but only recently finished assault squad. 11th Claw, XIVth Company on the hunt. Terran sergeant with power weapon, two guys with hand flamers (they probably suck but why not?) and the others. Hopefully they'll get their trial by fire this weekend but who knows.

Yer, they're badass. Not great poses though.

Once the next order is built, it'll likely be another 40 marines added after that. I'll give you their numbers and if you want to, you can guess what each squad is. So it'll be 14th Claw/ 1st Company, and 1st, 8th and 13th Claw all of XIVth Company; the XIVth Company ones should be easier to guess. I've just realized there's also the pre-existing terminator squad to number up.
Or it may be some of the stuff required for my Armies on Parade this year, mainly the board. Choices, choices...
I shall ponder on these questions.....Daniel away!
