I took a handful of heroclix and mage knight figures and with some greenstuff mods and bits from the sprue made 8 cool wizards. Ill make 13 more bodies use the rest of the arms on the sprue. Ill probably get 40 cultists out of the one box and be able to mod some 15 or more figures with the bits leftover. Ill take pics once im done. Way cool. |
That's great to hear Trex! You have quite the system there with these kits from Norstar. Certainly getting your money's worth. Of course, that means you have that many more to paint

Now to fully see what I'm going to do with the snakemen. I wonder how those sprues look. Very neato to see all the extra possibilities of these fantastic northstar sprues. All the extra bits do just enough to tie in other figures with these crew man and cultists. Love it. |

That means I'll have to make 20 snake bodies out of greenstuff with my instant mold. Crazy. Maybe I'll turn a couple of those snakemen into Heritors and Wardens with some other random bits I have at my place. @ Hahma , do you know how long their nickstarters ship out after the thing is finished? I look forward to getting lost colossus, my snakemen, and Alterior motives.
EDIT: I'm so excited for you with your legion stuff. I will not be getting legion. I already have hundreds of SW figures in 28mm and really cant justify in any way buying legion. Closest thing I could do is somehow get a hold of the cards/dice/ruleset and play it with my 28mm figures. I already have built a board and terrain for a SW table and have figures I could use to proxy. I don't think my brothers crazy luck streak scared the other guy away from the game, and I hope he's done crapping horseshoes because I don't want my leveled wizards to die as well. |
You'll have snakemen coming from everywhere! I look forward to pictures of both your crewmen and snakemen armies. If I recall correctly, it didn't take terribly long to get my Nickstarter once it was over. But then again, I don't usually pay attention to those things, as I figure I'll get them when I get them and have plenty to keep me busy otherwise in the meantime. I think I got mine a little bit sooner than my buddy Chris did, but he had the highest pledge level and had a lot more coming, though I don't know if that had anything to do with why his took a little longer.
As far as Legion, oye! Lots of figures and vehicles to assemble and paint. I know what I'll be doing with my hobby time for the next month
The 6 new models for TWD that I got from Adepticon will have to wait, thought they are at least primed. I do have enough Mantic points to send to Mantic to get Abraham
