@evilstu I am indeed doing sub-assemblies on the Knights – the main carapaces are glued in place as they are majority black /very dark grey in any case, but I primed the other armour plates separately in Fur Brown to provide a richer base for the reds, yellows & golds of the House Mortan colour  scheme. Likewise I’ve kept the Preceptors weapons separate for ease of painting (the Las-impulsor in several parts so the gun-shield could be painted)  and the Armigers arms I primed in place as it was easier but they were not glued so that they could be taken off for painting.

I’m also only painting one of the Armigers at this point as I ran out of Stirland Battlemire and wanted to get the bases textured before I began painting the Knights. Hopefully I can end today with the gold trim blocked in and the endo-skeletons of the two knights base-coated 🙂

Alita was excellent. Definitely worth catching on the big screen, and i think I’m going to be re-reading the manga on my iPad later…

Digging the amount of minis you’ve  stripped. Reminds me I could probably make use of the old metal Shadow Warriors and the Mordehim Elf Mage (plus some other bits) to build an AoS force of wandering Elven Rangers. You’ve also reminded me that I still have my old partially-completed Stir River Patrol army in a case in here somewhere….

@horati0nosebl0wer good shout on The Cybertronic Spree 😀

@sundancer have you seen the selection from Skullforge Studios? I really dig their Professor Moxi…
