Hi there,
Been a while since I posted (or painted ) anything! But since i'm doing my ebay stuff again, I though I'd revive this thread
I've been working on the new treeman/durthu from
GW; nothing too spectacular to show, but I wanted to post
wips before the finished piece.
I have mixed feelings about the miniature : it's not that big (especially for the pricetag), and I have the feeling, when I read the assembly notice and checked the sprues, that
GW needlessly complexified the mini so that you can only build one of the three possible monsters, and can't play with interchangeable pieces (and hence need to buy several minis).
Every joint (2 shoulders; 2 arms, 4 legs) and the waist are specific to a variant.
I did work around it though, you just need to chose the joints wisely and maybe do a little filing/cutting so that you can get an interchangable tree.
Speaking of wich, would you be interested in a mini guide on wich joint to use and the little ajustments needed ? It took me a little while to figure out something, so I though I'd save the pain for the others
here's the pic : Sorry if it's too blurred, I'll take better pics once it's in a more advanced state, wich shouldn't take long
