Chaos Dwarf Skull Cracker WIP


Another week, another chaos dwarf piece…This one was particularly difficult to put together. This kit came into 60 pieces, again each one of them needed some work, and lots of them didn’t fit well together. A few of the pieces were either not very well cast or very fragile which made the assembly a real pain (the chains were just awful). All together I think it took me about 8-9 hours again.

Another thing as well that seriously bothers me is the fact that despite a price of £60.00 it does not come with its own base. On top of that, the piece is so big that there are no bases available from GW or Forge World for them. I’m currently converting a 100x60 base into a 115x75 which will work but frustrates me.

Anyway, still need to be prepped, puttied then painting, despite all these problems it does look good I think!!!


Et oui, encore des nains du chaos…Ce set fut particulièrement galère à monter. Il était fourni en 60 pièces et chacune a nécessité pas mal de travail. L’assemblage fut délicat à cause de pièces ne s’emboitant pas très bien. Certaines pièces étaient aussi très mal tirées ou très fragiles (les chaines en particulier furent horrible). En gros, cela m’a pris 8-9 heures a assembler et il reste encore pas mal de travail de préparation.

Autre chose qui m’agace profondément est l e fait que le kit soit fourni sans socle en dépit de couter plus de 65 euros. Qui plus est, la pièce est tellement grosse qu’il est quasi impossible de trouver un socle qui va avec dans le commerce. Je suis en train e convertir un de mes socles 100x60 en un 115x75 qui devrait faire l’affaire mais grrr….

Bref, la peinture bientôt, une pièce fantastique quoi qu’il en soit !

  1. A fantastic model!
    8/9 hours of work is almost a week for me!
    (mais ça doit être rageant de payer 65€ un truc difficile à monter!)
