In May I assembled of a squad of the new plastic MkII Breachers. A typically good kit as we've come to expect from the plastic heresy line.
In June, I picked up the Horus Heresy Legio Custodes Battle Group box and 3.0 codex. These purchases inspired me to break out some older rein models I had in inventory. Here we have Constantin Valdor in all his Forge World resin glory.
Next up I assembled and based a box of Aquilon terminators. I left the armored tops unglued for ease of painting later. Some poster tack is currently securing the parts against loss.
Then I turned to the one model in the battle force box that I was least interested in: the Calidus Annihilator Grav-tank. But during assembly, it really grew on me. It was fun to assemble and is a great looking model. I would never had gone for the resin Forge World version. At some point I'll do something interesting with the base to match the rest of the force.
Next I assembled the Contemptor-Galatus dreadnought. This will compete with the Saturnine dreadnought for Dreadtober this year, no doubt. I have always liked the look of this dread and I'm psyched to include it next to my existing resin Contemptor-Achillus.
Last up for the month was the Shield Captain from the box. Quite a fancy dude, he is. A joy to build and will be great fun to paint. I'll get on with assembling the remaining 12 models for the two Sodalities in the box. I definitely got sucked in by the Horus Heresy specific sculpts. I have been considering my 40K Custodes as double duty, but the differences between the 40k/30k lines and available models have made it worth collecting both for me.
Super fun, detailed models that will provide a lot of painting enjoyment. I expect to get started on a few of these once I complete the damn Spartan. :) I really don't know what's got into me, but I have definitely been struggling to find motivation to sling paint this year.
That's it for now.
Cheers and Happy Gaming!
