My first ever order of Forge World stuff came in recently, just some infantry dudes in a group order Redcap’s organized. These Praetors will be the first to go together.

Capt Angholan, all washed up.

They actually seemed totally clean, but I figure if you’re going to get Forge World you should go through the whole process of washing off the mold release agent and so on. Mold lines, flash, and such also seem pretty good. The big thing that will have to be done is straightening out a slightly warped sword.

The Terminator styled guy is going to become new, epic-styled Captain Angholan. The Emperor’s Champion model I use now works well but its particularly slim cut and my very very minor conversions don’t convey well his stat line, particularly the 3++ Invulnerable, and weapons, particularly the Heavy Flamer. More importantly, though the paint job is pretty reasonable, it could really use some washing to bring out the depths a bit and tone down the shinyness in photos, but I can’t bring myself to go back and rework him at all.

I’m not sure yet what I’ll do with this other model. They’re not super posable or convertible, so options are a touch limited. The leading candidate right now is Sergeant for a Command Squad.
