CE figurine broken

[Malcolm]

Well it arrived today, unfortunately Grumlok's hand appears to have snapped off in transit so to get a replacement I've got to send the whole bloody box back to play.com

 

[MaxxPower]

Mine also seems to have snapped off, though I'm not much of a player of the tabletop game, so I doubt I'm gonna send the entire box back to Play. With the stocking issues I'd be a tad reluctant to send the whole thing back.

 

[Belgerath]

Get some green stuff and do a conversion!

(edit) Also are you sure its snapped and just not meant to be glued like nearly all GW minitures

 

[knightyc]

is it not sposed to be off then

glue it back on use some green stuff for repairs. or are you not a moddeler

 

[Malcolm]

hmm i'm not sure

sowed enough seeds of reasonable doubt for me to decide to cancel the return and re-order

i'm a tabletop n00b

 

[Belgerath]

Any chance of a pic, I can tell you for sure then

Seconded.
Chances are, that's the way it's supposed to be.
The Grumlock model is going to be quite huge (it's an Ork warboss FFS ), so it would make sense that it'd be a multi part model

 

[The Phazer]

Do you mean the hand with the axe? That's supposed to be seperate. It needs gluing on. There's no way to cast a model like that as one piece, and they're all like that.

Warhammer models normally come in several components.

You mean you'll still have time to paint with WAR being here?
Eer since I got into closed beta, I've painted a tremendous amount of... 3 High elf spearmen, An Imperial Guard commander. And 1 Orc boy.

 

[Malcolm]

cheers i'd never be able to make it on one of those "Faking It" tv shows if I had to convince a room of tabletop gamers that I'm one of them

 

[code414]

I'd just like to see a pic of the figurine, arm snapped off or not please

Please do I saw some of your earlier pics and you got those Plague Marines just right, the rust paint job was flawless so I look forward to it

 

[Malcolm]

apologies for pic quality but my EOS 400D's battery needs charging and I only managed to squeeze a few images out of my DSC-V1 before its battery died too

 

[Belgerath]

Thats not snapped, just needs pinned and glued

Or if your not the modelling type im sure they will sell well on ebay, if you leave it for about a yr you'll probably make back the money you spent as it really will be a collectors

 

[Malcolm]

cheers

might see if someone can paint it for me or leave it in case I ever decide to take it up as a hobby (and have some practice on bog standard ones first )

Aye keeping mine in its packaging for just that reason, I enjoy painting the figures but I dont collect armies (and prefer elves anyway) so not really worth much to me.

I've made a tutorial on how to do that rust effect here

Cheers on that link, I've been experimenting with painting rust on models, but I hadn't thought of trying it that way.
Come to think of it, shouldn't we have a modelling side-forum now?

 

[Belgerath]

Simple yet effective, ill have to try that on my Skaven Slaves and Clan Rats.

Not much use for my Eldar but still

(spread some rep bla bla for svart )

 

[Malcolm]

rep for him too - very interesting stuff

someone at your local games workshop will probably do it for free if the staff there are as friendly as my local one.

if not ask if they do the painting nights where everyone can bring in there models and use the stores paints and brushes
someone there would probably do it for you for free

 

[Iceforge]

those figures are awesome!!

I didn't figure it would be actual Warhammer figurines (I am that stupid) or I would definitely have put in for a CE pre-order...

Got the big ass paint kit as well, the one with every single paint they made.. such a shame...
