And after almost a month (this was started before the Storm Eagle was finished), I give you a completed, kitbashed Fellblade. With LED lighting! :D

If you click on the picture, it links you to a bunch more pictures, including in darkness to see the LEDs better.

Man, both the headlights and arches are great. Cool stuff!

I expect honesty about models' conditions, thank you.

If I don't respond in a day or two, please check back, I've forgotten-sorry.

I bought a couple Reaper models. They had just the weapon or head and weapon to be attached.

Do they count as being built or isn't that enough pieces to assemble for the contest?

40 models but 6 were 1 part so just glued to the base.

Its ok to post painted and yes you get points for the one part models. I think the only 1 part models anyone would not get points for would be OOP GW injured Marines as there was no base for them.

Points updated.
So yes your guys definitely count for points! Which reminds me Of all that I build be forgot to post here....
info about shipping: Lower ratting pays/ship first and I live in Canada.

Got out of the habit of taking pics of stuff before I started painting it. Oh well - it's not as though I don't have thousands of unbuilt minis sitting around anyway. Just got these guys assembled:

Aradus Sentinel & Aradus Soldier, each worth 5 pts.

I cannot explain what happened guys. I just lost alot of interest in models/gaming recently. I have updated all scores but we need to come p with a bonus score for this:

A normal tank of that size would get 10 points. Stokerd has done some heavy LED work on it. Thoughts??

Agreed. The wiring alone is a crapton of work. That's not to even mention all the other work that has to be done to ensure that the light doesn't bleed out through the glue joins.

Lower rating? You ship first.

Give me a sense of humor Lord. Give me the grace to see a joke.

I think what this situation needs is some imagination.

Perhaps the last of my builds for 2016.
Image
I hate the idea of a pintle mounted assault cannon with a PA Marine using it. No where else does this exist and I have not seen one in any older printed GW stuff. So I did some REM stuff.
Image
More warbosses cause why not.

6+5 is 11 points unless the DA thing is more.

15 bonus points given too Stokerd

Best part about working 3rd shift….I can build all night on my night off.

Image
Dev Marines. 1 OOP plasma and 1 kit bash MM.
2 pts
Image
1 DW sarg and 1 PA Marine
3 pts
Image
Deathwatch DA Marine on a 25mm base for 1 pt. Counts as a Librarian in my game play. Ok. I see you raising your hand over there. Yes I know the DW Marines came with 32mm bases. Relax from being a rule Nazi bub.
Image
Image
Same guy with a 32mm base.
Image
Image
Command Razorback/Rino with all weapon options. Only regret is there is only 1 plasma gun and not 2 for twin linked effect.
5 pts
Image
Land Raiders
16 pts
Image
OOP Las cannon Marine and 1 pt This guy has been a concept of mine for some time. See…hes a crack shot nut with the Las. Takes out so many targets with 1 shot its scary. I mean…he really really likes the las cannon weapon. He likes it so much:
Image
He demanded the Tech Marines make him a LR Las Ultra so he can get more las cannon fun. This is the same LR as before and the same las cannon Marine. Lots of magnets and tin for this one.

28 ponts

Nice job! Kit bashed multimelta looks like it was a fair amount of work.

Question guys: I'm putting together Operation Icestorm and there's one guy whose arm connects at the shoulder and at the hand holding the rifle. I'm having a hell of a time. My big clumsy fingers can't get it in the right place without getting glued. I tried tweezers but those slipped off just as badly if not more than my fingers, though they didn't get in the way of the gluing. Problem is I don't know what to do anymore, those Infinity Miniatures are so small. Does anybody have any advice on how to get those fiddly little bits in place?
On r/miniswap under the same name. Please be polite & answer PMs, even if all you tell me is "No thanks," or "I need more time." I expect lower rating to ship first, even if that's me, unless we work something out in advance.
