How hard is it to swap out the armament on the Shadespire models? (I think I've made my tendency to kitbash pretty obvious by now)
EDIT: Also, I think you did a pretty good job painting this one. Definately put more effort than I would into that base.

Heh... thank you. I dunno, I love painting the bases. It's increased my output, as I hated flocking models.
Unfortunately, Shadespire models are pretty much 'easy build' models, and are made of only a few pieces.
- Angharad's head, Hammer and shield could probably be swapped for other items, but the pose isn't really negotiable.
- Severin Steelheart's weapon would be a pain in the ass to swap, but it would be useless once removed. (Fortunately, the Liberator kit has several of those swords if you wanted to use them.) Pose not negotiable.
- Obyrn the Bold's Hammer head could be cut off and swapped with a different weapon, but again, the pose isn't negotiable due to the small amount of pieces in the construction.
However, I do think a saw a picture on the Spikey Bits website Article "Defenders of the Realm: Army of One" using these very models as Space Marines, and they did look good, so I guess if there is a will, there is a way.

Well, I am the kind of guy who looks at my rhino spue and decides to cobble together a combi-bolter for part of a joke... So after I deal with my backlog, I might wander back to these guys.
