The Mastodon is Done

It’s taken a week and a half of work but it’s done.

Putting it together was a ball ache, it might be designed in CAD, but putting the structure of it together was not as smooth as I had hoped, in fact it was down right awkward. Fitting the panels flush, didn’t allow for the doors to close properly, and it wouldn’t stay together in a stable way until I glued in the roof and command module.

The transfers took a bit of time to do, simply because I wanted to do so many, but then again something like that is gonna have a lot of runes and writings on it. Certainly worth taking the time to put them all on.

The door are magnetised, at first I considered not doing it but after tiring together the structure, it was clear that the doors would just flap open all the time, so I went ahead and put in the magnets.

Can’t wait to get this on the tabletop, will need a minimum of 3000pts in Heresy for the 25% rule, but I can field it in a 2000pts list in 40k which is cool, although I am not sure if this would be considered a dick move!

So here are the lists for it that I am considering.
