Going to post a couple quick ones while I build this thing.
I’ve loved the look of this model since the 2014 Codex came out, but I didn’t play enough 40k to justify buying it, let alone storing it. (Storage space is at a premium at my apartment). I came into a good deal, and I’ve played more 40k in the last few months than the previous few years combined, so HECK YES GIANT STOMPY ROBOT.
Like any good GW customer (*cough*), I know that the best way to get the best bang-for-buck is to magnetize the options I want, and that primary happens with the gun arm.
I read a good accounting, and watched a video and got to work!
This photo is of the Deffstorm Mega-shoota front, with a magnet glued to it. Both of the links above used a 25mm 40k base, but I grabbed a Deadzone base of the same size. Deadzone uses perfectly round bases, rather than beveled. I had to bring out the Dremel to sand it down enough to fit in the gun arm, but it’s pretty great!
I glued the back piece such that the gunner will sit at the back, because the gunner is awesome. The back of the Kustom Mega-Kannon isn’t as cool, just having a little power-gubbin.
I glued the KMK wires to the top of the DMS ammo feed and jammed them both into the arm and cut a hole in the ‘naut to run the extra wide bit. I think I need more on the arm-end to make it look cool, but I like that both guns are accommodated.
I need to account for the other differences too – I think one has a skorcha and another has a KMB. I’m going to keep the Gorkanaut head because I like it better though.
Oh, and it has to have a Space Marine theme somehow. >.< (that’s an oooooold link!
