Bonwirn Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Aw, man! Just got the email that found that I was part of a system glitch (I'm looking at you, Venelope) and so my package won't get shipped until tomorrow. Means I won't get to the videos for two weeks now. I can haz pitchfork nows, right? ditto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper User CAVBOSS Posted December 4, 2014 Reaper User Share Posted December 4, 2014 Just an FYI, I have cut the bases down on all of the first 8 models in plastic to a size to fit into the new bases and they have no problem staying upright during play. I have also added a "penny" to give them a little weight as well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriskirby Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) Also nice to see how straight those Dictator arms are. That's the only downside I see. Of the 24 longish arms in the first 32 models, 4 are kinda straight. The other 20 range from slightly bent to "it looks like the robot is trying to hug itself". 3 models didnt wouldn't stand up at first.

papabees Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 So far, all of mine are very straight. And by all of mine I mean the one I have opened. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeahbowen Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I received one of mine today! Springfield, MO area. I have a pic of one next to a dropzone commander cityscape building but I don't know how to upload it here. Any suggestions? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sundseth Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 You could start a Work in Progress thread. That forum allows image uploads. Otherwise, you'll need to upload to an image sharing site (I use Photobucket for my miniatures stuff) and link from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirannha Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 So if we are missing stuff from the KS should we post here or on the KS forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Bedlam Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Inventoried and counted. I got one factory reject: an Assassin with a Cougar undercarriage and ... two right arms.I can fix it, though. Just thought I'd mention it.Everything else was perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eilif Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I got mine yesterday and got to unboxing last night but I live a few hours outside of DFW. I only had time to start sanding and cleaning a Dictator and just pre-assemble a few before my free time was gone. The hex bases are 1/4" smaller edge to edge than standard CAV metal hexes which will require some creative cutting and basing since 10mm CAV models are a bit big for a 1" hex. What's in the box... Group Shot:... Dictator:... Hex Base Comparison... Thanks for the pics. I had my doubts but those Bones Cav's look really nice. I still don't trust bones quite enough on spindly bits to buy sight unseen, but based on these pics, it's a pretty sure bet that I'll be picking a few up at my FLGS. Definitely going to get me a dictator! The bases, however represent a pretty big misstep. The existing bases were already too small to contain many CAV's, so why did they go even smaller? They would have looked imposing and well balanced on a 40mm (or bigger) hex and would have had a nice space for basing. On a 28/30mm, they will be tottery looking. I'm already committed to 45mm hexes, but even if I wasn't I certainly wouldn't be using the supplied bases for anything other than the smallest units.

yeahbowen Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) I'm sure this is the wrong place, maybe work in progress that Doug mentioned would be better, but here is what I did to the running pose I wasn't fond of. I think I will keep this little guy now. Edited December 5, 2014 by yeahbowen 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vil-hatarn Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Nice, that looks way better than the running pose, much more imposing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniCannuck Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Mine are waiting for me at my mailbox. I will be able to pick them up on the way to Finger Lakes paint day! Gotta start figuring out terrain for these minis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
