Progress

Got a few spare moments this week to do some assembly, so I figured I'd assemble some Cadians and the "Astropath" for my army. Got the Vet sergeants with powerfists and the Heavy Flamers done:

So, if you're curious, the laspistol from the cadian box is right handed. And so is the powerfist from the command sprue. Commence rant:

What the fuck!? I mean, GW, seriously, what the fuck? What moron thought it was a good idea to put everything on the Same. Fucking. Hand. Is it the same guy who thought that there shouldn't be any complete fucking left hands on the entire motherfucking sprue?

Seriously, the only complete left hand (that wasn't cut off at the wrist with the hand attached to a lasgun stock) was the sergeant chainsword hand. So because the vaunted GW planning and design system couldn't design a sprue with another sprue in mind? These guys could find a way to cram thirteen skulls on a carebears miniature ("I'm apostate bear, tee-hee!"), but couldn't think to put a couple of empty left fucking hands on a sprue?

Oh, and the heavy flamer? Yeah, the hose doesn't hook up with the hose on the backpack.


Right, moving on.


Since I have two Vendettas in the army, I figured it'd be worth the 30 pts for an Astropath. But this is the Martian SRO, so I figured it'd be cooler if the guy coordinating when reinforcements showed up would be a Lex-Magos. Also I promised Trent the Astropath in from Regimental Advisors blister. Since the Officer of the Fleet was going towards my Mordians than left me the Master of Ordnance to work with.

Without much of a plan, I sat and started snipping away. Here's a pic of him after the point of no return:


And here's a couple pics of the finished product:


I really like the way the robes flowed on the back. The front, not so much. It's been warm here the last couple days and some of the green stuff dried a little quicker than I thought it would so when I to sculpt folds the greenstuff tore. I tried smoothing it out, but it was too late. But it's okay because the mechadendrites draw attention away.

Do people think I should elongate the right sleeve to cover more of the dendrites or just leave it? I'm reticent to go back, because its usually when I try to fix things that I make them worse.
