So I had fun Tuesday night remembering what it was like to clip lots of plastic from sprues then tidy up the mold lines.

| I hate filing off mold lines |
Compared with dealing with the starter kit in which every model is about 4 pieces total - much easier!

| Heroes, big cannon and dread arms |
Then last night spent some time getting bases ready with magnets (I like to move my stuff around on metal trays), and preparing for next step.

| Pledge starting to come together |
Now I have assembled 10 Tactical Marines - 5 from the previous standard tactical kit (top photo), a few recycles, and a few from the dark vengeance kit. Armaments include a plasma cannon, plasma gun, plasma pistol sergeant (sensing a theme here?) and boltguns. The sergeant got a wristorectomy and now has the option of chainsword or power sword with some 3mm magnets. Finally I felt like I needed a 2IC in case of combat squadding, so I repurposed a black reach sergeant and gave him a bolt gun instead of a chainsword.
Alongside them is a venerable dreadnought and all his arms (now with magnetised base), and a sweet sweet terminator captain/company master from the dark vengeance kit. Not a big fan of his base kit so thinking he may get a shield or a hammer somewhere along the line but for now I don't have the bits to make this happen.
On to painting next!
