In this episode of Figure Forge Matt Assembles the Hordes Dire troll 3 Model kit using rare earth magnets.   He shares his experience with you so  can avoid his pitfalls.

 

So What did Matt learn from this assembly?

  • 2 or 3 mm Magnets should be used for the arms
  • Have two part epoxy on hand  for the big wells on the arms

If I ever make this model again I will choose one head one set of arms and glue them on.   I would only make the spine and the hands interchangeable.

 

Thanks for watching, if you liked what you saw and would like to keep up with our post you can always like us on facebook and follow us on Twitter (links are on the right side of your screen).

Spartan Games Celebrates A Dystopian Wars Anniversary by Raising the Titanic

 Dystopian Wars, Gaming News, Spartan Games  Comments Off on Spartan Games Celebrates A Dystopian Wars Anniversary by Raising the Titanic

Olympic Class Troop Transport The Olympic Liner is one of the largest passenger ships ever created. Built at the Proctor & Mercer Shipyards in Middlesbrough, these impressive vessels have carried people over the seas in style since 1861. A main selling point is the advanced technological design, and claimed robustness of the ship’s hull. However, the outbreak of world war saw many of the Olympic Liners refitted to fulfil the role of a troop carrier. With its pioneering keel design, the Olympic Class Troop Transport cuts through the water at high speed, allowing it to efficiently deliver thousands of troops to war zones around the globe.

 

 

 

I do believe this will be my first Dystopian Wars Model.  I wonder if the Prussians will find the Bismarck?

WM: Cryx Desecrator/Harrower/Leviathan

$ 34.99 SRP

 

Cryx Desecrator/Harrower/Leviathan Helljack (plastic) The silent tide conceals the inexorable advance of amphibious helljacks beneath the waves. Equipped with watertight furnaces, these terrible machines emerge from the depths to sow destruction on a horrific scale. The Leviathan leads the charge with its terrifying rapid-fire cannon, fueled by excess steam from its necrotite furnace. The Harrower cuts through horrified soldiers with its enormous claw while its cannon fires incorporeal shells that pass through solid obstacles to impact its intended target in a necromantic conflagration. The Desecrator uses its alchemically charged cannon to spray corrosive fluid across a wide area while its whirring vivisector minces through flesh and steel at the murderous behest of Cryx’s generals. This box set contains three color stat cards and one multi-part helljack plastic model (PIP 34077). Included are all the components to assemble one of three helljack variants: Desecrator, Harrower, or Leviathan. A player may field any number of these helljacks in a Cryx army. SPECIAL NOTE: PIP 34077 contains the same Mk II stat cards as PIP 34026 and PIP 34039. The model in this box represents the same figures as those PIPs in the game. However, the model in PIP 34077 is a new sculpt and therefore looks different from the models found in those PIPs. In addition, this model is plastic rather than metal. PIP 34026 and 34039 will no longer be available from Privateer Press beginning May 1, 2012.

The stalwart trollkin of the United Kriels fight alongside their savage cousins, the full-blood trolls, to protect their lands and their people. The powerful trollkin chieftain Madrak Ironhide leads from the front, adding the might of his legendary weapon Rathrok to that of his troll axer’s dismembering strikes. From behind the trollkin warlock, troll impalers hurl massive javelins the size of ballista bolts to skewer enemies. Contents: This starter box (PIP 71057) contains quick start rules and a complete battlegroup of four plastic models and corresponding stat cards for HORDES including: • Madrak Ironhide, Thornwood Chieftain Warlock • 2 Troll Impaler Light Warbeasts • Troll Axer Light Warbeast SPECIAL NOTE: PIP 71057 contains the same quick start rules and Mk II stat cards as PIP 71001. The models in both battlegroup boxes represent the same figures in the game. However, the models in PIP 71057 are new sculpts and therefore look different from the models in PIP 71001. In addition, these models are in plastic rather than metal.
