Quick break from the Marauder... I know, we just got started, but this is important stuff!
The parcel delivery person rang my bell and left a box on my porch...
Well, the insides looked packed nicely. (Spoiler: I won't be able to get it packed that nicely when I'm done rummaging thought it.)
Not a bad start, we have the eight Hellstrike missiles I'll need soon for the Marauder Destroyer!
Next I find an Inquisitor Rex and retinue set. He's super cool looking and maybe will inspire me to dig out and repaint some Daemon Hunter stuff!
But wait, there's something hiding beneath all this (really it's not that hard to see, but I'm going for drama here)!
Yep, two Mars Pattern Warhound bodies! Here is a shot of the bits within their protective bags.
And for weapons? Eventually there will be a variety that are interchangeable via magnets, but for now, five Turbo Lasers...
I know, five is too many for two Warhounds. I plan to modify one to go on the carapace mount of my Reaver Titan.
I'm happy to say that after going through each bag of parts, the quality is amazing. Nothing like the problems I had with the Marauder Destroyer upon arrival. All parts are cast well with minimal air bubbles. Some minor, but expected, warpage that will easily be straightened out during assembly. I'm sure tiny flaws may come to light during wash when I handle each piece more extensively. But as of now, I was only able to find one tiny fault as shown below.
Not bad for two large kits worth of parts! The tiny ball joint has been mended using my nemesis, Super Glue. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the kits. That and the super fast shipping. It was maybe three days in process and post to Texas, USA.
I'm excited to start on these Warhounds, but I'm not going to rush the Marauder to get to them. Well... maybe a little. I'm thinking they will be a simultaneous build, but honestly once I get started that idea may change. Of course, at some point down the road I'll be pestering Ron over at ++ From the Warp ++ to work me up some of his amazing banners like the banners for my Reaver Titan he did.
I'm always looking for ideas and input from you folks out there in internet-land so feel free to drop me a comment.
