Hi ..

in the pictures I have found on the web of Enforcers , I cant see the right hand...are there a hands or just blades and guns melded onto the armour?

thanks

(any shots appreciated)

Enforcers have two hands, but they are close to in scale with the rest of the mini rather than comically-oversized like a Looney Toons character who just hit his hand with a hammer.

They all have hands: the wrist blades are exactly that: attached at the wrist. A lot of the images have the angle showing off the blade, not the hand. Rest assured, it is there. They're a bitch to assemble, but they're worth it (after you're done only: while working on them, you'll swear, scream and rage).

Heh, I've only built two of mine so far and my howls of fury during each one probably frightened the neighbours. Definitely worth it in the end though. If I was to offer any advice on building them it would be to dry fit arms to gun to torso first to make sure they will actually all go together in the pose you want (not all arms pair with each other, or certain guns very well) then glue the right arm to the gun, let it dry then glue the gun arm combo to the torso using a dry fit of the left arm to make sure the position is correct. Then glue the left arm in place once the right is firmly attached. That made the second a lot less annoying than the first for me.

I still spent ten minutes scrabbling around in the carpet trying to locate the tiny head I just dropped and trying to suppress the urge to take a hammer to the little sod though

I was right there with you. I gave a step-by-step tutorial in the thread Matty put together too. They are a nightmare to build, but I'm glad someone agrees that the nightmare is worth it in the end. The 106 marauders I got from Miniature Market for $100 (vehicles and captains included) tend to be easier to put together. Not so much a nightmare, and a lot of arms can be posed! Humans=advanced models, Orx=baby skill.

Here's a step-by-step picture tutorial to putting them together, made by mattjgilbert from the mantic forums:

Yeah, they're a pig alright!

The sooner this hybrid restic/ metal gak gets over with and back to hard plastic the better.

To be fair, mattjgilbert chose the easiest enforcers to show. Lol. Show the combined arm parts-THOSE are the bitch of the group.
