W40K: Salamanders Whirlwind 1

Games Workshop© I had a Space Marine Whirlwind lying on my shelf and I thought I'd add it to my son's Salamander army.  I was not going to use it in my Ultramarines or Blood Angels (and my Black Templars cannot use them), so why not, add some more arsenal for my son.  One thing about my...

Games Workshop© Drop Pod 1 for Tactical Squad 1 is now complete.  Too bad all 5 of my Drop Pod's are already assembled/basecoated.  A valuable lesson if you have not already assembled/painted one.  Paint the inside separate from the rest of the Drop Pod. I had purchased/assembled/basecoated...

Games Workshop@ For the last two years my son's Dark Angels Azrael has been sitting in his army bag unpainted.  He keeps on asking me when he can play with him (he has a fully painted Dark Angels army, and to play with one unpainted model in the army just urks me). Before leaving for school...
