Knee deep in 'nids

I have at last finished the battleforce worth of 'nids for Gabe. When I say 'finished' I mean 'assembled'. They still have to be painted.

One of the three Lictors came with two right-hand legs. Great eh? Worse the Terminus LRs (LRT) had some malformed parts. Crucially these were the pillars used to attach the sponson mounted twin linked lascannon. I managed to fix up one of the models but the second was much too warped. Fortunately I had some bits left over from the LR Crusader. Duh. Thought of that lot too late for the first LRT.

I am currently planning on having the day off on Friday as I am expecting the terrain board (6'x6') to arrive... or at least 'this week' was the estimate. Unfortunately no sign of any confirmation on delivery times. More on that later.

The Kaiser Rushforth cases have proven their worth. Yeah the boxes are cardboard but the card used is more than adequate. More importantly the foam inside is excellent. So much so I have started replacing the foam in my large GW case with KR foam. So if you are looking for excellent value for money cases, I can definitely recommend the KR stuff.

KR are pleasantly efficient at order fulfillment as well. Always a nice touch.

Meantime I need to work out how many cases I will need for my growing vehicle armoury.
