Speaking of kitbashing blackshields... I use Tichy Train Group rivets for molecular bonding studs on Astartes armor. Is there something that works as well for those tiny spikes you often see on Sons of Horus figures? Tiny rectangular-pyramid-shaped rivets or studs, instead of hemispherical? I figure this thread would be where I’d find someone who’d know.

If you know anyone with a decent printer they are such a simple geometric shape they should be able to crank out hundreds in an afternoon for a six-pack.

On one hand, Heresy players are used to carrying a back-breaking amount of books. On the other, gently caress 9th.

Yeah, three red books are heavy. 2/3 of those have been the same since 2016.
LOL, sucks to your rear end-mar for playing anything new like Sabres or Esoterists or Dark Angels.

They totally can use slide and clam moulds, they just don't want to. They have a slide mould for the Baneblade and they did it on the one Objectives sprue that had the radio mast.

My guess is that the run cycle for the slide mould takes 'too long' for whatever optimized schedule some bean counter has made for production.

What parts of the Baneblade sprue/model point to this? This is interesting.

The frame with the sponson weapons, fuel tanks, the greeblies like the spare bogey and loose shells.

The auxiliary weapons are all oriented with the bores out and there is no bounding frame around that area, that way there is a clear path for the die to articulate in/out during the cycle.

That must have been worth it as casting those in one piece saves at least twelve parts.

Iron Warriors were one of the first legions to evaluate Mk VI.
