Waif-kni-gits!  Did you magnetize them, or are they mono-builds? |

na not magnetised, would be a pain to magnetis the arms in those poses. ive tried to give each one a different loadout though so if im only taking one I can choose 1x Sword and scattersheild with 2 shuriken cannons (assault) 1x suncannon and scattersheild with one scatter laser (for laser lock rule) and one star cannon. 1x Duel heavy wraithcannons and 2 x scatterlasers |

Really? The one I got--found some birthday money I'd had stashed away from years and years ago--I was able to magnetize the right arm weapon pod so I can switch between the heavy Wraithcannon and the Suncannon with no problems. The hands pop into the wrists and rotate freely/are held in place by friction, but I did end up building a separate arm set for the shield and sword. The remaining left arm is dedicated as the Heavy Wraithcannon. I'm going to either magnetize the shoulder balls and arms so the arms will be swappable, and it can be done because I saw someone from BoLS who has done so (Reecius)--or I might get a second set of the shoulder balls and glue the arms on, and then right the shoulder balls so they can be swapped out of the torsos. The secondary weapons I found fit together perfectly without needing to be magnetized, although I've got to figure out a way to magnetize the little plug that fits into the secondary weapon mount so I can swap them in and out if I don't want to run mine with secondary weapons... Overall, I found it to be a really fun kit to build.

Like how you posed the legs on yours. I ended up posing mine so it's running. Had a ton of fun trying out various poses. I'm thinking of making it so the torso on mine will be able to rotate. I put magnets into its neck and into its head so the head can turn and be posed. Neat stuff.

yeah I had to trim off some of the fittings on the hip joints and the little tabs on the knee assembly to get those poses. was originally trying to get one to kneel down in a sniper position like a ranger but can't do it without chopping away armour on the back of the knees which would have looked silly.

So it seems like the three Waif-kni-gits may have been a good investment, as I'm hearing rumors that there is going to be an Apocalypse formation for 3 (or 3+) of them for Apocalypse 2.0...

There is indeed am Apocalypse formation of three Waifknights  Great work, Dougeye! I'd love to paint one of these kits. Are they well made? Lots of extras that sort of thing? |

Post by dougeye on Jun 29, 2013 5:29:03 GMT -5
yeah there are plenty of extras, basically you have 3 major weapon options, melee with shield, suncannon with shield or wraithcannons and then a choice of 3 different shoulder (or secondry arm) weapons types (6 in total) which can be mixed and matched depending on build, in terms of the armour and helmet etc they are all standard with no options but every thing can be posed. only complaint for me when posing is the legs don't bend back 90 degree (as if kneeling) naturally and would require cutting away at some armour sections which will look obvious.
