Coinciding with this weekend's new Space Marine releases, Games Workshop has posted a step-by-step Drop Pod assembly guide on their US website.
Being the lucky owner of a Space Marine Spearhead, I started working on my first Drop Pod this week and hope to have it painted by next Wednesday, when I'm helping with a Drop Pod assembly clinic at a local game store. Having built my own Drop Pod already I can tell you that there are some minor pitfalls you can stumble into if you're not extremely attentive to detail. The GW online assembly guide should therefore be extremely helpful to a lot of people.
I will be painting my Drop Pod to go with my own custom Space Marine chapter. You've already seen the first model for that project; pictures of the Dreadnought, first Tactical Squad and Drop Pod will appear in the near future.
So, who's going new release shopping this weekend? Who's buying items for other armies besides Space Marines to keep up with the arms race? Maybe "there is only war", but on a big release weekend there's also some shopping too!
