I ended up splitting a box with another dude and paid $60 for the Primaris half of a core set, but no rulebook. I have a copy of the free core rules and the half a dozen other pages I'd need to play matched play from the Russian leaks. I did pick up the Imperium 2 and Xenos 1 books so that I can add non-Space Marine units to my newly acquired Primaris Marines and also my Necrons.
I took a NASTY fall down some steps over the weekend, so I ended up spending all of Sunday on the couch. I figured I'd assemble a coupe of the new models...
...and then the rest of them...
...and then I'd sand the bases...
...and then I'd drill out the bolters...
...and then I'd prime them.
Yup. I built, based, drilled and primed over a thousand points of new models today. Now to decide on what color to paint them!
When I drill out the weapon barrels, I use the little scribing tool on the left to make a small indent into the center of the barrel. Then I use the small or large drill, depending on the barrel size. It's a small detail, but it helps.
