Dangerous! This may make me hold fire on Saturnine I dont 'need' another tactical terminator squad but I wouldnt say no for all the other stuff included here if it pans out

They dont seem to be anything 'special'. As (another) long term DA collector I might have overlooked the plain-ness to have the actual DA kill team and cards etc as-is but only if I could get the full team as one set. I am not just buying blind boxes randomly for this.

I'm targeting specific issues, generally in store which keeps the saving (or if it is a combat patrol that isnt around anymore - orks one!) In Forbidden planet the termagaunts issues have got to the point they've been put on offer for £7.99 an issue and they still arent shifting. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the jetbikes of chaos marine issues go the same way eventually as they seem to be hanging around.

So last night in the hobby, I demolded the press-molds (mould or mold... neither look right, both are right depending on where you are from.... not enough sleep! ) I made for the mek in mega armour arms, mainly I just want he elbow to write part.... ...and I found I'd mis orientated one of them entirely, like 180 degrees for each side. its a real shame as they had the detail perfectly! the other arm came out well. and I set up a new casting for the one that didnt work. I then decided as I had so GS left to see if I could loosely just sculpt onto the existing arms and with a bit of shaving down that may actually work anyway I'll add some pictures in a bit of the progress

recently in the hobby.... I've been building my Aquilons for kill team and did the minor conversion/arm swap to have both 'special' weapons. This prompted a bit of a conversions bug that I havent had in years and I picked up a second copy of the warboss combat patrol issue and over the weekend I have been tinkering with that and the meganobz sprues from Prophecy of the Wolf from my pile of shame to see if I can convert a mek in mega armour. I even broke the greenstuff out for a few bits. Waiting on things to cure still before round two

I didnt order Tigurius but I did order the terrain set (despite planning not to!) I had a confirmation email (from webmaster@hachette-partworks.com if that is any help to you) Nothing was showing on their website under the shop orders section. I had a shipping notice Saturday from royal mail (5 days after ordering)

I have had a load of stuff in my loft/attic for years and had no issues with any of it. (UK, summers in the last few years have been pretty hot, snow sometimes in the winter so a fair temperature swing) I dont really have any resin stuff up there though I try and put things in at least bin bags around boxes but some of it is in really useful boxes which is obviously better. Some of it is loose in carrier bags (generally seals hachette issues but occasionaly sprues etc. Protect against/be carefully of any potential humidity on things like books.

I signed up for the register of interest with Darksphere - they have always been pretty reliable. It may be worth a phone call to see if they have any left after orders are fulfilled/giving your name to express an interest in case they have any people not complete their orders in time I've found that in store they seemed to have stock of Hive storm well past when GW were out of stock, the same with several army box sets etc

The terrain kit is available on the hachette site Terrain Pack £80, free delivery (on orders over £30) for the Sector Fronteris set Out of interest there are still some imperium issues showing as available too

The issue may be the bases may only be in the issue with one sprue. They did similar with the gaunts and terminator issues.

I hadnt thought about it before but.... I have Prophecy of the Wolf squirreled away in the loft/attic which has 3x mega armoured orks in there 'untouched'... I am wondered whether to get another issue 41 as a body to use with the Mek parts Has anyone tried similar using meganobz parts with this to know if the scale works ok?

I picked up the latest magazine and it had the leaflet in for the Nachmund terrain bundle for £80. Nothing to suggest it was subscriber only however the QR code didnt work and a quick google only comes up with the same link as the start of this thread from March (subscriber only, £75) Terrain Special Interesting the leaflet is a different price so I wonder if we can expect to see this come up soon for 'general' release.

I'm expecting about £100 with the squad of hormagaunts and as it seems to have 2x the terrain I though was included in the preview. £100 seems 'reasonable'

Here was me thinking 'nah,.... not so bothered by these' then you said that! ....I dont dislike them, its more that there are many other things I like more that i would buy first But a second edition style whirlwind option might bump them up the list a bit.

I dont mind them being monopose. I have enough of the old style models and AoBR versions that a couple of squads of these should hopefully blend in and add a bit of pose variety to my existing Green tide. I'm particularly looking forward to getting a few different (bits for...) Nobz models and some different big shootas/rokkit launchers.
