They up-traded for Power Weapons.<br /><br />The real reason? I didn't like the aesthetic of the models. Threw the balance off so they're back to standard-issue Bolt Pistols.

Assemble the Ironclad as per instructions, but omit the sarcophagus “lid”. The face plate here is actually a replacement piece of plasticard cut and sanded to size. I’ve found it’s easier to get it close initially, and then carefully trim and sand once it’s glued in place of the original piece that comes with the model. Once that’s done, the rest is cake…<br /><br />The “rollcage” is actually a harness from the Drop Pod model, with some extra bits trimmed off.

All it requires is a slight bit of bending and it fits almost as if it was meant to be there.
