This is what 5 razorbacks in sprues look like, I know, I'll wait...  I also received 5 plastic scouts for free because the guy I purchased the Razorbacks from had to split the order into two parts.  This was a nice surprise, and it awarded him a nice feedback rating in return.  A big thank you to discount_games_store for that.  See folks, it does pay to take care of your customers!  These guys will become my first batch of Wolf Scouts.  My other scouts are not optimized weapon-wise, and I already started painting them as Salamanders.  So I'm glad I don't have to strip them.  I also have some left over meltaguns that I had from the combi-melta conversions I made for my Wolf Guard pack leaders.  I wish those weren't so hard to come by, but GW knows how to get your money (engineered demand).  These scouts are convenient because I had just wrote up a list that used them, but I had not purchased them yet.  And now I don't have to, which makes me very happy. 



I also ordered a terminator with a cyclone missile launcher.  I don't know why these guys are so hard to come by, probably because of the plastic kits now.  It is a Deathwing terminator from the Dark Angel line, but there's not too much that needs to be filed off.  I might not even use the body right now, since he doesn't have a power sword.  I might just stick the missile rack onto a different model. 

This is what my first Razorback currently looks like.  The dozer blade on the front is magnetized for easy removal.  I have also put two magnets under the top of the hull.  This will be for the spot light and hunter-killer missile.  I like magnetizing because not only do I have more options, but I can dissemble the model during transport.  Nothing is worst than opening your army case and seeing little bits of tanks floating around.

There has been some bad publicity about our hobby going around in Greece.  Read the article and if you feel like justice is in order, you can send a few emails to let these people know they are in the wrong on this one.
