I really like the retro feel of these space marines. The disintegration weapons only add to that vibe. The models were really easy to build overall. There are a few issues that are very, very minor such as a gate on the mold being situated on the shoulder join, and some obvious flash that needed scraping off - most notably on the arms. Everything here though is otherwise millimeter perfect overall and I couldn't be happier with the simplicity of the build and the overall look that the marine has. Only one minor quibble is where to attach the bolt pistol holster as the side clamps on the legs get in the way of this a little bit more that I would have hoped.
The overall intent here is to build a small five man veteran tactical squad with disintegration weapons for 24 inch ranged support where needed. I think this squad will be Salamanders (and I will use the prime slot in the Apex detachment to bring in my dreadnought here as well - very convenient). This is a great way to have a primary detachment or allied detachment of Salamanders in my forces. Looking forward to completing the build and getting the entire squad ready and fit for purpose.
