This week I decided to build some models, and I ended up building quite a lot!
First, I assembled two units of 10 Chainrasp Hordes for my Nighthaunt Procession. For the leaders of each unit, I did some minor conversion work on the weapons just to give a bit of variety across the units. As they were the easy-to-build kits, I managed to get both units built pretty quickly.
Next, I assembled Lady Olynder. The kit was a bit fiddly to build, particularly the vines which wrap round her body. She is also extremely fragile, Iāll need to be careful when painting not to break any bits off.
I then built a unit of five Grimghast Reapers. This was the second unit of five in my collection, so I could also field them as a single unit of ten.
A unit of ten (or two units of five) Bladegheist Revenants was next, they are really cool models with their longswords.
After all of the troops and elite units, I needed a change of pace so I started on the mighty Mortis Engine. This kit was a beast to build, it took me all day yesterday. Most of that time was spent cleaning mould lines off, as they were quite prominent. I think my particular kit was a bit older too, as it was made from the harder, more brittle grey plastic that GW dabbled with a few years ago, before switching back to the softer stuff. Iāve kept it in multiple sub assemblies to let me paint it easier.
Finally, I built the Scriptor Mortis, which was an absolute joy to assemble. Itās clear this is a more modern Nighthaunt kit, as the pieces fit together so precisely with zero join lines, and there were practically no mould lines to clean off.
All that building means I assembled thirty eight models (including the massive Mortis Engine) over the last few days, a decent return in my opinion!
It also means Iāve built the entirety of my remaining Nighthaunt collection.
Next up Iām going to start basing them all today, and then it will be time for priming.
