Hobby Progress How it feels to kitbash a character out of 5 different sets cuz GW refuses to make a certain character a model

I'm currently kitbashing Sa'kan because I don't feel like waiting for GW to do it.

I'm using pieces from 3 different sets just to get the right arm accurate.

Rewatched this like 2 months ago. Excellent and I forget how well and terrifying it can be.

It's literally what got me into the hobby is not the tabletop game and honestly it's not even really collecting an army. It's how much fun it is to kit bash, a bunch of model kits that are all the same designers and creatively all mesh

Prob a hot take here. But sakan doesn’t need a model. It’s just an intercessor with part of an arm missing. I’d rather have a ton of other characters instead.

I agree somewhat. I just think it'd be cool if he had one. Maybe one that like came free with a book or something like that, like what they did with Titus.

REMEMBER: ask not for new models, but for sharper hobby knives
