Well painted.

Post by: Ultravanillasmurf on 27 July 2017, 05:36:15 PM: Have the new "bolt-rifles" got accessory rails on the top?

Still have not got used to the new names, in my day they were bolt pistol, bolt rifle, support bolter, heavy bolter....

Cheers, I think so!

They do.... but the scope isn't attached to them. It looks a bit stupid to be honest and I'll probably cut the scope off any future Primaris marines.

You could just make the plates/furniture red, the scope/front sight/rail could be a different colour (black-grey, gunmetal,black etc)

Or leave the sight and remove the front sight.

I love the freehand and that new bolter wotsit looks so much better with a stock.
:-* :-*

Looking forward to chopping one of these new fellas up later in the week.
