I’ve learned some lessons about drilling, magnetization, and efficient assembly over the past 14 months, and I applied all of them to “Ripfist” Gorg, my second Deff Dread for Moonkrumpa’s Megalootas. Had I done things this way with “Facepeela,” his build would have gone much more smoothly! Drill bullet holes before assembly Yeah, it works […]
Even though I built Moonkrumpa on November 16, I held off priming him because I couldn’t shake the feeling that he needed a bit more…something. That proved prescient, as I kitbashed him to good effect in December — but he still didn’t feel 100% done. Last week, I read a comment somewhere (Reddit, I think)

This morning things finally shook loose, and I busted out my bits boxes and kitbashed Moonkrumpa 2.0:

My working concept for my Blood Angels army is the Faceless Strike Force, with 100% of the models in helmets. I wanted Space Marine Scouts in my army, which posed a small problem: the Scout kits only come with bare heads. Some Googling turned up two easy options for alternate scout heads: Skitarii Rangers and
