Hello,

Does someone have pictures of the warg chieftain fully assembled? Especially the position of the legs... I encounter troubles doing it :p

And does someone have advice of how to assemble the Golden King on his throne? Do you simply glue the 3 pieces together (flag excluded)?


Thanks :)

Here is my golden king. I glued him all together. I usually assemble my pieces 100% before painting. This has proved problematic in the past, but I don't have to worry about super glue vapors ruining my paint job.

Wow, really nice job :)
Wasn't it an issue to paint inaccessible pieces (for instance, the tissue at the bottom of the throne)?

Yeah, it was tough, but i made it work. I attached one pole bearer and painted the mini and attached the second after completing the mini.

Here are two pics of my warg chief. I glued the foot on the rohirrim's chest down as it is pegged. However, the other foot, you can see light through it so I didn't do anything with it. I obviously glued the back foot down.

The second photo is from the bottom. To ensure the model stayed on the base, I pinned it down. I used a drill, drilling up into the miniature (the big rock portion) and then feed some copper wire though the base to ensure it was stable. After that, you can see how much glue I used.

The only thing I wished I had done differently was to add weight to the back side of the mini. The combination of the rock, dead rohirrim and bulk of the warg makes for a *very* front heavy mini.

Thanks for the pictures!
I'll try to avoid the holes between the different parts, but it's not easy at all :/

I've already noticed that the model is quite heavy and not well balanced (I have the same problem with an orc shaman on warg bought on Ebay ^^).
