I've just checked the army book - his Cog Axe is a magic weapon, so unfortunately you can't opt for the pistols in combat. Where do you see that?!? In my book it is just listed under Equipment. Not Magical Items. In fact, he has no Magic Items. Opting for pistols should be fine. Otherwise, they are a pointless item.

I had to open a number of boxes but found my book and though they are named items, his axe and gun are listed as equipment not magic items, whereas the other named characters weapons etc are listed as magic items, so I think the pistols are a viable option for combat. Happy to be proven wrong if I’ve missed something obvious though.

Huh, looks like it's me that's wrong - I read it incorrectly. So you can get your 3 S6 attacks in combat.

Nice work with the Grudge Thrower and it's base with the slotd
The runes/trim stand out especially.
I like the ginger beard guy.

I must admit I was a bit lazy with these. I just wanted them done so completely bypassed any highlights. On the grudge thrower it left it looking worn but I quite like that. In the constant battles the hold faces, niceties like polishing the machines has to take a back seat to ensuring functionality is maintained. The side shot of the thrower was included to show the crap ‘warping’ of the finecast model. To be fair it’s the first one I’ve had where it was noticeably a less than ok cast but even then it’s not too bad.

Hey, I do that all the time. Especially with the units that won't be seen very often. I think you've been pretty lucky if this is just the first Finecast model that you've gotten that was warped. Honestly, most of the ones I've bought have been this way.

If it's any consolation, my metal one doesn't look like it was much better cast. I think the battered look suits it well, and you really don't need much beyond picking out the gold trim to get the model to look good.
Hope to see your Gyrobomber painted soon, and that you have better luck with it than I've managed (bloody charmed shields!)

Hope to see your Gyrobomber painted soon, and that you have better luck with it than I've managed (bloody charmed shields!) I’ve built this one so it can be either a bomber or ‘coptor. I just need to sort out magnetising it!

I just see the bends in the Grudge Thrower as it straining under the weight of so many rune inspired rocks. I don't have that kit so it's interesting to read about the issues with it. I still want one though

The one I really want is the old gob lobber. I haven’t been able to justify it yet.

I agree on touching up the Gotrek axe and the first I thought when I saw the pictures was "nice job on the striped trousers"
Such iconic characters.
