A week ago I had a busy, productive Saturday that by evening time turned into a nagging cough which by Sunday midday was a fever, chills, aches, etc. For three days solid my mind was clear of all interest in any sort of hobby thought or action. 40K is a pretty constant presence in my daily activities or thoughts so it is always interesting to see what knocks it out.
In the last couple of days I've managed to build the two Ambots that have been sitting in my Necromunda cue. It was a nice surprise that you end up with two extra pairs of legs and a small pile of other bits.

Arbites are another long running 40K passion of mine. Below are a couple of Hasslefree Miniatures converted to be a detective and her ratling sergeant/lifeward/gunslinger. I seemed to be going for dirty concrete bases with limited success. I need to come up with some background for the detective and her partner. I watch a lot of detective shows and I like the idea of these two investigating cases mid-hive in what might pass for a normal community of different types of workers, Administratum and other Imperial citizens. Not quite a cozy mystery if it's at all connected to the broader 40K universe but also not a Judge Dredd, "I AM THE LAW!!!!!" type of setting either. The Fantasy Flight Games 40K RPG books were the inspiration for the bomb disposal servitor conversion and, while very much were intended to help set the stage for solving 40K mysteries, are also great fluffy sources of detail for life in the Imperium off the front lines.
