I tried my hand at true scaling my MK3's   Generally happy with the results, except that it's really hard to get an even cut on the plasticard tube. I'll probably try to cover up any blemishes with gear. Are there any kits that are an easy way to get pouches and whatnot?

That looks great! What size tube did you use? Also you might have luck just asking around your LGS or play group, a lot of players view pouches and grenades as optional and leave them on sprue.

The biggest issue has been making sure I can securely glue the torso to the legs now. I think I'm going to fill the tube bit and the torso with milliput to add more surface area for super glue.

I'd probably just grind the interior of the tube so it matches the ball side and then the exterior of the socket side - that way you're getting more contact without adding more materials.

The model most people thought would be a librarian has been revealed and it's actually an esoterist! https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/02/02/heresy-thursday-exorcise-and-obliterate-with-the-traitor-esoterist-consul/

Disappointed it's a generic option that's still being made in resin, but it's a good looking model. Might get one eventually. In the meantime at least I still have mine (whenever I paint him).

Watching people on 30k facebook groups argue that this guy sets the limit for how chaos-tainted traitor marines look in 30k, and is therefore proof of the illegitimacy of using 40k chaos marines for 30k traitor legion kitbashes.

The Night Lords FB page is okay. Although they had to go private because they kept getting the 'Unemployed? Work From Home With Netflix!' spam. It's mostly just 'look at this model I'm working on!'

The Wordbearers can take scary armor as an upgrade, which I assume is regular 40k CSM armor.

I don’t know why anyone is complaining about the Esoterist being in resin; Forgeworld’s resin kits have been extremely well cast and easy to assemble for the past couple of years now. I don’t know how they changed their production methods, but it’s like night and day compared to some of the older kits.

It's that it will never be in stock, cost too much to ship to the states, and subject to the FW exchange rate where one GBP is worth "how much you got?" USD. Anyway I finally painted this guy who is older than some posters:

When I used to sell my own stuff the contract caster that did the work for me produced nigh perfect casts back in the late 2000s. Resin recasters have been doing better than "old" FW for the same period of time, as have most other garage manufacturers. I think FW is just (finally) moving to industry standard. Their price has always been grossly disproportionate to their quality. Right now it's just high rather than being criminal.

If you don't mind paying ~30% more, sure. Guilliman is £79, or about $96 in USD. He is $123 in the US store.

I just had my last match of my flgs's Heresy league, and I knew it was going to be fun when my opponent walked in carrying a Thunderhawk.  Thankfully, I made it explode after touching down, and the inferno wiped out most of their assault troops. (Also most of my troops nearby except for a miraculous 5+ roll on my Immortals.) I love Warhammer.

I complain about FW but I have two items in my cart, hoping they don't sell out before the third thing I want comes back in stock. It's been this way since last week.

legion specific contemptors are now becoming plastic torso upgrades. The forge world ones with unique limps are going last chance to buy https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/02/09/heresy-thursday-armour-up-with-contemptor-dreadnought-legion-upgrades/

They're resin. It's a shame the current legion contemptors are going because they have so much more cool stuff on them but I think the trade off for a plastic base model is worth it in the end.

Are these just the middle of the FW ones? I can't really compare them side by side on my phone. Also I'm seriously considering writing an email to GW about the hammerfall bunker. I love that it's in the game, but 1) Its massive missile system counts as a single cyclone missile launcher, and 2) it is comedically prohibited from the drop pod assault RoW.

Yeah it's just the FW torso and head, an overall downgrade.
