I know, this is one of those Forge World heresy heavy weapon guys and this is a post about helmet lenses. But to be honest, that was the first thing I saw on this guy. I'm not a big fan of th...

Now that I build and paint more than I play 40k, I tend to need specific items. If I can't get them from my FLGS, I go online. I don't love shopping online, I love the convenience of shopping ...
