    i know right !! Sometimes less is more I look at some peeps colour pallet and when with this, I’m not a fan of guys going with too much green I like the grey shoulder pads with a lips of purple. Just enough colour for my taste …. Also try to get as close as the original toys story buzz and the new preview for light year!!

    Well the first games didn’t go as well as I would hope for!!! I don’t what I did to the dice god but he was not happy with me!!! I had major dice roll that was complete garbage some attack with 0 damage and my lieutenant died to nothing very bad rolls so goes the game I guess!!!

    In the end he had 3 models left on the table with only 4 wound total so not a complete disaster on my part.

    i learn a lot which is the point of the game, learn that I have to read my bible a little more and that space marine have a lot of rule to remember!!!!

    i did a few critical move ( or lack of) that end me with 0 points in the end.


    I got charge fast and couldn’t shoot anymore I should of just let it go for a turn and hope to bounce back with shooting after!!!

    by it overall had fun so yeah fun times!!



    In to the following week works!!

    Build a bunch of model made some mistake!!!

    mistake #1
    25223EF7-B9AB-4EA8-8520-CC3A8DA72836.jpeg
    glue the magnets the wrong way it was all good and then realized that the gun should be pointing the other direction!!! Live and learn I guess!!

    I think just the rock on the front left looks good, but it is an ATV, so maybe the bumpier the ride the better. Tough call.

    My vote is one rock. I think two is overdoing the theme.

    Just an opinion.
