I agree with Prim. Besides, he's clearly off on a mould-line crusade at the mo, so its best to do as he says or he'll hound you till the end of time about it :roll:

anyway - i t hink the mini is looking heaps better now - that termi head is spot on, as are the other bitz. For spikes on the knuckles, id go for bits trimmed off other models (chaos and dark eldar players will have about 3 million spare spikes. Id happily give you some, but i wont be at kuwana. Im sure someone else can oblige you though.) Modelling spikes yourself is actually a bit tricky, as self scuplted stuff has a tendancy towards looking "soft" where spikes need to be clear and sharp.

Bits are the easy way to do the spikes on the knuckle dusters... but if you cant find what you want in the bits department... I find that you can cut Green stuff...then paint over it with some cheap 100Yen superglue to make it set up harder.. MIJ have you ever tired this?... again it is not my first choice but I know how it is when you want to get a model done now.. it is always best to hold off doing things the quick and easy way... though I never do it... so do as I say not as I do if you want to have stuff that looks good and not just good enough...

For your spiky bits, if you don't have access to any appropriate plastic bits, I've used thumbtacks for similar stuff in the past. They'd be just about the right size, and it'd be a really simple process of snipping, drilling and gluing.

(You'll want to file the point down a bit to avoid future puncture wounds, of course.)

I can provide a veritable tonne of spikey bits of all varieties. I will bring my spikey bits box with me to kuwana and you can have a look. I take no responsibility if you injure yourself on the spikes though.

Cheers!
I'll bring some band-aid, just in case. :D

And the award goes to MIJ with Badruck a close second. I got it from my 1st ed Space Hulk rulebook actually. Did not know it was in the compendium. MIJ must be even crustier than me! Who'd of thought!

Not really, Konrad has brought out the old school SH game a couple of times to my knowledge.

Unless of course you are refering to Badruck knowing that it was in the red book. In which case I have no clue what he knows about its contents. :D
