Welcome to my strange alternative world of wargaming with toy soldiers: a game for boys from twelve years of age to one hundred and fifty and for that more intelligent sort of girl who likes boys' games and books (HG Wells, Little wars)

300 quids worth of resin
Yup, this is what three tons worth of resin looks like.
Now all I have to do is make it.
It comes with an ownership certificate and the address of a good therapist,
Yeah be extra glad you bought it straight from forgeworld and not off ebay. talk about hell of tiny toe pistons getting two partially assembled legs back apart. (as a tip though you can put it in the freezer overnight and most of the superglue will become brittle enough to simply shatter apart leaving the resin intact) If you sensibly use epoxy to assemble then you will never get it back apart.
Good luck with it, I mine is an Imperial but I am working on large magnetised Chaos icons to be able to hot swap between games from good to evil!
Hey, John, you wouldnt mind showing a lot of pectuers of the legs when its done for me wounl you - its just im trying to scratchbuild a titan legion (2 warhounds, 2 reavers, 1 warlord and 1 imperator) and I have never understood how the warhound legs should look. Thanks!
Dear Guys, I will certain post pics as i go along for your edification/amusement.
Dear Sub: Pistons, bloody pistons. You have to cut them to size guys for the chosen pose, like cutting shortening a leg on a table to stop it wobbling :) The cold tip for shattering superglue is worth knowing.
Dear nony: I will do my best to give you scale pics.
I look forward to seeing how those legs come out. Warhound legs can be a pain. While I've not built one of my own, I've helped a friend with his. Pistons indeed! Remember, better to cut too little off of one than too much.
Do be sure to post pics of your progress. :)
ReplyDeleteThe defenders of Vraks best begin praying to their emperor quick like!
ReplyDeleteNice - I'd advise you magnetise the arms so you don't get stuck with the Vulcan Mega Bolter if they release the other guns in chaosy versions.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to a hell made of tiny pistons! :)
I am very envious, you lucky lucky man. You'd better get cracked on, we want pics ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou sir, are a very brave man. Best of luck to you!

Impressive, like the others I'm jealous...and I second the WIP posts!
ReplyDeleteAwesome stuff! Good luck with building it.
