Anyone else had theirs yet, mine arrived this evening but has no instructions. Is this an oversight by FW or does this model simple not have any. It looks fairly simple to put together but at over £50 for the complete kit I don't want to balls it up. is it worth ringing FW ?

While a lot of FW kits don't come with instructions, most things walker size or over do - I'd call them.

Yeah, a lot of them don't come with instructions.

And, TBH, a lot of the instructions are awful anyways. I built my buddie's Mega Dred. The instructions were awful. I always seem to have extra parts left over. I figure, if it wasn't obvious to me where it went, then it won't be obvious to others that it's missing. :)

Would love to see pics, though. I'm envious!

My ultramarines venerable dread had no instructions too, I think dreads don't get instructions tho I can't be certain. As stated above tho, FW instructions are notoriously bad

I reckon you'll be alright without them. It's pretty straight forward.
At least yours had shoulders!

Sometimes they have sometimes they dont I bought 5 chaplain dreadnoughts to use as my death company dreadnoughts and 3 had instructions and the other 2 didnt it seems its if they can be bothered to print some off or not

Didnt get any with the one I got either. Pretty straight forward tho. Including cleaning and trimming, probably two hours to build and add icons etc. Just gotta paint it now :)

Thanks fellas, actually really easy to put together. I just used the pictures from the FW website and dry fit everything 1st, Only problem now is do I paint him for my Knights of Blood or Iron Hands army, I suspect he will end up as KOB.

How tall does he stand to the top of the exhaust, including the base?
