113. Coil, coil, melta and trouble. Salamabnders part 10.

Half a month eh?
Well, a lot has happened. I am officially 'unemployed' now after being made redundant (something I will post on my main blog about at some point).
I have some agency work to fall back on, but times may be tough in the coming months... we'll have to wait and see.


Good job I have enough hobby to last me until the end of time right?

So, speaking of hobby, let's move on with some.

A while back I managed to get myself to Warhammer World in Nottingham.
If you are unaware of this magical location, it is GW's head office and as such has a Forge World shop.

I got some bits and bobs; namely, 5 multi metlas (the resin under slung heresy ones) for my Salamanders.

The cleaning up wasn't too bad... a good deal of flash between the melta barrels, but nothing a good, sharp knife couldn't fix.

This was the main problem.
The power coils are straight and to not be.
Bending resin is not one of my all time favorite activities.
I always feel like I'm going to bend it too far, or it wont be warm enough and then break or I'll melt it with a hair dryer.

With a little effort and some patience I managed to make a start.

Have done the rest, will post with pictures of each individual devastator, and again once I've added details and green stuffed some stuff.

The Power armoured contingent of the Salamanders is almost complete!!

Until next time.

112. Armour up! Salamanders part 9.

This post will pretty much a carbon copy of my Bolter & Chainsword post, so...

Anyway.
I've been doing some more hobby. Huzzah.
But to be honest, it has slowed down a little (holiday, buying more hobby, other stuff).

I'm coming up on my imminent unemployment, and my productivity is dropping off to be replaced with existential dread haha.
I digress.

You came here to see things.

I've been working primarily on getting the Space Marine armour built.
So First off we have the drop pods.

I would have finished these.... but I wanted some brass etching (which I forgot to buy on my last trip to Warhammer World :( )
And I needed to know how to paint them in stages.

Now that I'm aware of the process, and once I get myself some etchings, these guys are good to go!

Next up is the Vindicators.

These are my old vindicators.
There was nothing 'wrong' with them per-se, but I just wanted to make them more secure, get a few mold lines I'd missed, and fill in some gaps

I decided to do the sisters ones at the same time, as I never got round to them before either.

But yeah.
I now have the Multi Melta's I need, as well as some extra Salamanders shoulder pads, which should be enough to finish off the Devastators.
next step is the Dreadnought, so... look out for that one!

Anyway, that's all for now.
I'm hoping I get back the hobby bug once I've sorted through my horde of new things haha!

Peaceout.
