You're going to want to avoid 40k's ork loota/burna box then, it's essentially the same gag. If they stuck a second sprue of the leg/torso bits in the box you could build both of those too. As it is you either buy /print some proxies from online or take a box of regular boyz (the good old modular ones, not the new trash monobuild sculpts) and use them - the parts are exactly the same. That said, surely someone out there has made a "angryskullguy leg set" STL by now? These things are less in demand than boyz are, but it's hard to believe no one's done it, this kit is years old at this point. Realistically this happens with lots of their dual build kits, although teh older ones are the worse for the amount of unused plastic.
I have never bought/made/painted a 40k model. I just like fantasy too much and it's just never appealed to me. Maybe one day. You are probably right about these stls it seems you can pick up almost anything now. Any way I would like to say I appreciate your comments, you have made me think differently about things at time, I your obviously very knowledgeable on our hobby. Wishing you the very best for next year, and I hope to have even more interactions with you 😀
@@blackdicegamingltd Ummm...you've shown off two demon princes in the last few weeks. Those are just as much 40K models as they are fantasy. It's one of the best things about demon minis in general, they can serve in either of GW's big games as well as finding uses in unrelated roleplaying games and small skirmish rule sets like Dragon Rampant or Rangers of Shadow Deep or Five Leagues From Home. Anyway, have a happy new year as well. I'm hoping to get more painting done myself this year.
@richmcgee434 I'm not counting the demons hahaha, that's purely accidental. I would genuinely love to see your work, if you want to you could email me pictures to james.blackdice@gmail.com Anyone is welcome to.
Why not just take one of the limbs from the three-armed guy and use it in place of the axe arm you disliked on the scorpion mutant? The extra arm is even on the right side for it. Bit of sculpting putty ought to hide the joins and fill the voids easily enough, especially if you tap your spawn bits and stuff something (an eyeball, a spike, a tentacle) in where the arm should be.
@@blackdicegamingltd Yeah, gotta use your bits box stuff when you can or it's just going to waste. I have a tendency to camp on various parts way too long waiting for just the right project to use them when it would be more sensible to just find (or make) a use for them at the first opportunity. Keep kidding myself that spare stegadon head will come in handy but it's been in the bin since 2010-ish...
@richmcgee434 my problem is I just don't have the imagination. I kinda get obsessed that they need to look just like the box. It seems so clear when you suggested that simple replacement, but I would never have come up with it.
@@blackdicegamingltd Hmm. Don't know a good way around that other than maybe play around with how the parts fit together before you glue everything. Maybe something will suggest itself while you're fiddling around. That''s certainly what I used to do when I was wee nipper decades ago and playing around with model car kits and Space 1999 or Voyage To the Bottom of the Sea stuff. My dad used to get furious because I'd put things together "wrong" but my grandfather was very supportive of me kitbashing - maybe that's where I get it from. A lot of GW's newer kits are pretty hard to do anything with unless you resort to surgery though. They've gotten way too fond of kits that only go together well one single way, or maybe one of two builds like these figs are. I prefer the older more modular sculpts even if the posing isn't as dynamic.
@richmcgee434 sounds like you definitely get it from your grandfather. And it's served you well over the years. I collected GW back in the late 90s and I must admit I preferred the older models. The new ones are amazing but extremely limited in what can be done. They are also so heavily detailed, I feel like some models should have a rating on them (like revelle do on there kits) as a beginner it could be really off putting to build and attempt to paint something from them.
Thanks for watching, I do like these models, but a little annoyed that you need to buy a whole box just for the legs for the 2nd unit option.

That's a wonderful kit mate,I've just built my first chaos space marines after about 3 maybe 4 years and thoroughly enjoyed it
Thanks, I have to admit, I have never build a 40k model (except daemon princes) I may just have to try something :)
looks good , thx for video 👍
Thanks for watching :)
this are going to be perfect as my accursed cultists in 40k :)
Nice!! I'm glad you found the video useful 👍

My friend I think you have solved it! And I get to use some bits from my (now growing) bits box!
