I have been prepping the Void minis. There are 30 Junker conscripts and 20 Viridian soldiers.

I discovered immediately that the plastic is incredibly soft which means that even with sharp clippers I am leaving gouges.

The Junkers have leg panels that are where the metal versions of the minis have weapon holsters but it appears those were simply sloppily deleted, leaving ugly flat spots.

I confirmed there are no bits meant to go there and the spots appear on the official plastic minis. I went through and scraped those spots off. I’ll be going back and adding greenstuff to fix the scraping, and then add pouches and grenades to the thigh straps.

I scraped and cleaned other pieces and began gluing them together. The Junker backpacks have a visible cavity which I am filling with greenstuff-miliput. So far I’ve cleaned and drilled 15 shotguns and armed half the Junkers with them, the other half are in the process of getting knives.

I cleaned all the Junker shields and blue tacked them to painting sticks. Those will be painted separately and only added at the end. The box didn’t come with any decals so I ordered some from online, which I actually prefer to the design the box would have provided.

There are supposed to be two Junker sergeants but with no special bits to set them apart I looked through my spares and found two unused helmet plumes.

The Viridians are all going to be armed with rifles. Similarly there are two sergeants so I am looking for heads and bits to set them apart from the normal troops. I have plenty of 40k heads but am trying to avoid using them as I at least find those heads all instantly recognizable. I’ve test fitted a few options.

All the minis will get a light application of texture paste on the bases. They will have simple retro flock on top of this, but the texture base foundation is to ensure the shape of the base slots is disguised.

I’ll continue to assemble these minis while making progress to fill gaps and clean any mold lien flaws I find.
