http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net GW product since the late 90's as a Christmas present - the wife has just scored some extra points, guess I can't really complain about tidying the garden up

I am impressed by the quality components(compared to what I expected) the new sculpts are definitely larger than I expected but are nicely detailed. The only issues I have are that the orc linemen are looking too armoured, the human linemen look too similar to the blitzer and possibly too many claws on all those linemen.

I don't do much conversion work, a novice in that regards, mainly painting but I thought I would share this with you all so you can see the differences.

Orc linemen as they come out the box.

I still think their claws are too long, but I might leave them as is, opinions appreciated as a second or third pair of eyes and opinion can make all the difference - also removed the spike on the helmet of one of the linemen to try and make them look a little more standard.

Comparison photo to show difference a simple couple of cuts can make. This is a little fiddly as the part is a bit bendy but it is very simple to cut off so requires a sharp blade and a little patience.


Humans, just the top part of the helmet removed off the linemen so the blitzer stands out more, sharp blade and a little sanding to smooth out. Still might also reduce the claw length etc. But again opinions appreciated.

I think the humans are great but the claws are completely over the top. I'm considering getting rid of them altogether, leaving stabdard knuckledusters which I think loos violent enough.

I'm also planning on getting rid of the various armour spikes to make them look more athletic and less dungeon mastery.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712885/9110636.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712885/9110636.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712885/9110950.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712885/9110950.page GMT
