Went to my local GeeDubz to get the DW MotM, and they'd already exhausted all their models, BUT they had a bunch of the Scouts from LAST August, which I had missed at the time. So today, I painted a Dark Angel Scout,

Welcome to the B&C

Have you heard of "sprue goo"? Basically you get some Tamiya Thin Plastic Cement (in the little square glass bottle) and whack some old, cut up sprue in there. A little for a thinner version that fills little gaps, and a lot, a lot, thats thicker to fill larger spaces. I typically use the thicker version. When replacing modelled on shoulder pads, I do it with hobby clippers once the arms are glues in place, but before the powerpack is attached. I use the clippers to get the basic shape, usually smaller than what is required, then load the inside of the pad with the thick sprue goo and push it into place. If any spills out, I use the brush from a second pot of unmodified Tamiya to push it about and shape it. *IF* you don't have, or dont want to makr sprue goo, I would still recommend clippers to get the basic shape and then fine tune the shape with a course nail file.

If you're quick, you can also "clean" an area of wash with a fresh, wet brush.

You've nailed those colours

Bro T has just linked the 2026 12 MoH Club here in the WIP Forum, you can access it straight from the main scroll (I wasn't expecting that) and from the top of the Forum, above the threads. Feel free to have a poke about and familiarise yourselves with the layout.

It would have been ~'97 or '98, 2nd Ed. The first WD I'd bought for myself was 212 (Aug '97) with that classic Sisters artwork. There was four of us, and we played 2v2, or Free-for-All basically every game, as we only had one board, and typically not enough time for multiple games. I don't really remember the specifics of my first game, but I do recall my second. My friend had just bought and painted his brand new Commissar and Ogryns, transported in his brand new Chimera. I had just painted my brand new triple Las Predator, and managed to get 1st turn. I shot everything at that transport, he rolled the worst possible result, everyone died, and the resulting explosion also damaged one of his other squads (maybe guardsmen, maybe Ratlings), they failed their morale check and bolted, and never recovered. This started a tradition in the group of new units never surviving their first game.

For the 5th Co. Captain, I'd try rotating the hand holding the chainsword so the fingers are pointing more toward the ground, somewhere between 45° and straight down.

The 2026 12MoH Challenge will be run as a Club, it will however be linked in the WIP Forum (TBC shortly...) for ease of access. Each month you'll need to place a "Vow" pledging at least one model for the month. The Club has been created HERE, and is ready to go for January vows if you so choose. It even has provisions for a "Plodding Along" Vow, which is a slow-burn project completed slowly over the course of the year, the Knight could be appropriate for this.

Looks pretty achievable, the only adjustment I'd suggest is splitting the Infernus Marines to 5 with the Judicier in Month 9 Additionally, (shameless self-plug incoming....) that looks like a good template to paticipate in the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge for 2026, HERE is 2025's thread. The basic premiss is 1+ model a month.

Welcome back If you recall your previous username, contact an Admin, and they should be able to merge/recover the account for you.

Using the right resin, something specifically designed for game use models (my go to is Siraya Tech), significantly reduces this issue.
