@woldenspoons yeah the sacks do look sort of like hessian sacks I’ll admit, but would be almost impossible to paint and I don’t even want to imagine how they’d take a wash 😛

@sundancer nice progress on the terrain. The ‘Merry men’ comment made me laugh too.

@oriskany one thing I will definitely also put in favour for ‘standard’ posing of miniatures is that for rank and file games they are so much easier to have all the models rank up. I have some units in my collection where I have been forced to play with the first rank in formation to indicate position and facing, and a loose mob following thereafter…

@a27cromwell have you ever tried heating and bending the plastic to get the limbs in the position you are after? I have done it with less rigid plastics, just wondering if it would work on Warlord minis?

@elessar2590 outstanding work on the lieutenant there. And set up by some really nice work on the base too.

@dawfydd I hear you on the work front :-/ Hope you have some downtime (or at least a quieter period) queued up soon… Nice progress on the assembly and conversions 🙂 I do like the proportions on the primaris marines. Still need to decide what to do with the marines in my Dark Imperium starter. While I am planning to do a few small Kill Teams to play out the armageddon campaign a little (Salamanders, BA, wolves and maybe black templars?) this all happened before the arrival of primaris marines, so there is no obvious progression for them. I could always do them up as ultramarines I guess? Or a new chapter maybe?

@mage hope the weekend with your son has been nice 😉 heh, am contemplating tracking down a Yarrick. Still need to decide whether to go with the limited range of GW Steel Legion minis or source some more poseable/customisable components form Anvil Industries. Will have to confess I am leaning towards the latter…

Not too much hobby today. Some more progress on my historicals, including supergluing washers to the bottom of them all to make them less top-heavy. Not particularly exciting hobby progress but should result in reduced profanity when they hit the tabletop and I can push the movement trays about without them all falling down drunk… And also started throwing a quick coat of paint on some 15mm WWII buildings as I might be getting in a game or 2 of Tanks next weekend…
