This is okay but one of them has that Lord-of-The-Rings look of landing on one front paw. I guess its supposed to look dynamic but five lined up looks like a wolf formation dancing team. Fortunately, with a bit of filing one can reposition the wolf backwards into the horizontal with a rear paw on the ground.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwFf5XLeY2Zw6bi1XUjy1nY2Uw_1fC7tt_synuiX2k5NEcZr-YNI6smrZSk7Am4VdOKG1sNqRbdAmqV9eWDjRLRFNtBG8g3cFtYIHrghIWmUN52pim86oNXlT8_DQx5m_grXcO4yFB9YI/s2048/gobsprue.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwFf5XLeY2Zw6bi1XUjy1nY2Uw_1fC7tt_synuiX2k5NEcZr-YNI6smrZSk7Am4VdOKG1sNqRbdAmqV9eWDjRLRFNtBG8g3cFtYIHrghIWmUN52pim86oNXlT8_DQx5m_grXcO4yFB9YI/s320/gobsprue.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p>The Goblins come five to a sprue, hence the rather unusual number of models in the box - factorials and all that. There is an excellent range of build choices. One can choose five armed with slittas, spears, bows and shields or one can be holding a standard. Similarly, there's a generous mix of heads.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEintk0deDUDykT_emQBaK1utDmD_g2uaJTNmazvSoeVFjWKBYRRZpcqHE4WZaQfCC-CSyt3kyscgE_fJK1g3lwyEceqOENOwrxfwwAOdUmfqSDV7yPgVFf5imuGOEoDZzZqWfat_aYMQ4k/s1906/wolf.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1270" data-original-width="1906" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEintk0deDUDykT_emQBaK1utDmD_g2uaJTNmazvSoeVFjWKBYRRZpcqHE4WZaQfCC-CSyt3kyscgE_fJK1g3lwyEceqOENOwrxfwwAOdUmfqSDV7yPgVFf5imuGOEoDZzZqWfat_aYMQ4k/s320/wolf.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>The wolf sculpts, in particular, are crude - about the same standard as the old plastic GW wolf riders. The goblins are a bit better but you will need filler, especially on the indentation line where the wolf halves join together.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqB9Az4VrMQ0r4iSGQfZ2F1R6Q0XyAVChM8g0yOlcNHRdd9stAfOVZr8SpJ7kEc5-BvW9ZXSPTke4-wDa2bho7jUdxob5KOkKYzcdI2RT2fBqnxU0wL_B-TejzlMHcguMAzLTXPdrzIKQ/s2048/schematic.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1366" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqB9Az4VrMQ0r4iSGQfZ2F1R6Q0XyAVChM8g0yOlcNHRdd9stAfOVZr8SpJ7kEc5-BvW9ZXSPTke4-wDa2bho7jUdxob5KOkKYzcdI2RT2fBqnxU0wL_B-TejzlMHcguMAzLTXPdrzIKQ/s320/schematic.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>This image shows how the simple 7 piece models fit together. You will notice that the goblin has a wide seat suitable for a cavalry saddle but the wolf has a sharp 'V' back without anywhere to sit the rider. Worse, the rear tunic on the goblin catches the raised buttocks of the wolf suspending the rider and tipping him forwards so he contemplates the ground.</p><p>This is fixable by filing down the wolf's buttocks and carving a notch in the rear of the goblin tunic. But it does make me wonder if the wolves and goblins were not originally intended to be sold together when they were sculpted, also explaining the odd five riders per sprue but three rides.</p><p>Be careful to tilt the goblins' heads as far back as possible so they look forwards rather than down.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhccLMb3V4fRm5sMNtia323NGkF1buzqxnscMXem-eq4oL7mndh55HxYLk2LTTXqBLUJKI6eOkZ5z2ngFip_5UvbuiugOUecwKBCMIVpPSmqfLWsTxURBMDe1-Kq7_ueqjtfl5TD_7_vRw/s2048/spears.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhccLMb3V4fRm5sMNtia323NGkF1buzqxnscMXem-eq4oL7mndh55HxYLk2LTTXqBLUJKI6eOkZ5z2ngFip_5UvbuiugOUecwKBCMIVpPSmqfLWsTxURBMDe1-Kq7_ueqjtfl5TD_7_vRw/s320/spears.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>The first photo at the top of the page shows a small scout/skirmish detachment of five shootahs.

I used Liquitex but the brand is not important. Acrylic medium looks and rather behaves like PVA 'white' glue. As an aside, it is very good for sticking printed material to models as it tends not to cause the print to 'run'.</p><p>Matt acrylic medium is goopy so after putting some in your mixing palette you need to dilute it down - and this is where an acrylic Flow Improver comes in. Add flow improver and stir until the mixture is properly runny to Contrast paint levels. Again, any brand will do.</p><p>Step three is to add pigment, in this case from Vallejo acrylic paints. Do not add too much. Put a bit in and stir well and repeat until there is a nice runny contrast paint.</p><p>And that's it.</p><p>The model above was painted using just these methods. The flow improver causes the paint to dry slowly so one can mix enough to paint a whole unit in one go.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>John Lambsheadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04598696442104566164noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-10776666770070076232021-05-14T19:52:00.001+01:002021-05-14T19:52:15.474+01:00Word Bearers Lord Discordant<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ0xFvrFM3KTCTI8-d5eEVvMdZ9snAxI-1GyZ3y5q6Cak9jWQGsGIgbb5VVcw90OEuK0jQwxGDBcBGW_ARup6PUHvio3xXakQjMq0HO3EFe55XRX-w5806kfF6RQehtMnDbLoa8CzSSZE/s2048/lorddis1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ0xFvrFM3KTCTI8-d5eEVvMdZ9snAxI-1GyZ3y5q6Cak9jWQGsGIgbb5VVcw90OEuK0jQwxGDBcBGW_ARup6PUHvio3xXakQjMq0HO3EFe55XRX-w5806kfF6RQehtMnDbLoa8CzSSZE/s320/lorddis1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> Lord Discordant mounted on A Helstalker Daemon Engine<p></p><p>This is fundamentally the same paint scheme as the Word Bearer Lord 'I made earlier'.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKIz0wP1jyOVDKQjwSliW-dK67m0eKgswY0YTe25mpprWubpWPBpslpdm7sckEDjVZ4apWr1G5y557zGkBdP512l7N_zoj40MJEwe1PLa-oAyzG-9H-FWv6WhO1WfSNCpGE4XrnWZEQM4/s2048/lorddis3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKIz0wP1jyOVDKQjwSliW-dK67m0eKgswY0YTe25mpprWubpWPBpslpdm7sckEDjVZ4apWr1G5y557zGkBdP512l7N_zoj40MJEwe1PLa-oAyzG-9H-FWv6WhO1WfSNCpGE4XrnWZEQM4/s320/lorddis3.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p>The base is painted with Green Stuff World Colorshift paint.

They wear the mircath cloak that gifts power over shadows but binds the wearer to the Queen's psychotic will.</p><p><br /></p><p>Assembling the eight models was a bit of a pain because the bits were arranged like 3D puzzles and the parts involve very narrow brittle plastic weapons and connections. No matter how I tried, I ended up breaking pieces as I tried to fit the fiendishly designed components together while getting everything covered in glue.</p><p>And no, dry fitting first doesn't always help. You get two odd shaped bits to dry-fit after a titanic struggle involving odd twisting motions like masonic handshakes. Then you get them apart, add glue, repeat and they now wont go together...gibber.</p><p><br /></p><p>I chose a fairly vanilla weapon load-out, following the box art: there are plenty of options on the sprues.</p><p><br /></p><p>The finished models, though, are amazing...with the one proviso that I worry how they will stand up to travel and repeated handling.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMHOZclz_zm9KGYqW2xRjByiu3WoLEEZv-1A7tIVgQfAHGaWeG-LZh977XePpKhwN50F9KJPNQR-bsGR-JmggVitw0LLDf4Nwaunf5NBGFV3so_NyADeBle0oXfT8ZBLp6sQ5TcB1rp9A/s2048/DSC_0010.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMHOZclz_zm9KGYqW2xRjByiu3WoLEEZv-1A7tIVgQfAHGaWeG-LZh977XePpKhwN50F9KJPNQR-bsGR-JmggVitw0LLDf4Nwaunf5NBGFV3so_NyADeBle0oXfT8ZBLp6sQ5TcB1rp9A/s320/DSC_0010.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Shroud Queen<div><br /></div><div>I decided to use dark purple-blue shades that I think reflected the zeitgeist of the collection.
