With my first successful casting<\/a> of the weapon mount for Dropzone Commander’s Wagon units, I went and finished up the other two mounts.\u00a0 After they dried and cured, I cutoff the excess green stuff and shaved them down to size.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While the iphone image quality leaves a lot to be desired, you can tell the casts are a bit softer than the original piece up top. I shouldn’t matter as they’ll be hidden under the weapon rack itself and, at 10mm, it will hardly be noticeable.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next I cut down some small bits of a dowel rod for the post under the base.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After gluing the weapon rack to the newly cast base, it’s hardly noticeable.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Storm wagons with their oversize weapon racks are the best choice to hide the imperfect green stuff casts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Whereas the Thunder Wagons have their base more exposed and the resin official pieces work very well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Soon enough, it’ll be time to start painting these suckers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But before that happens, I put together the Shaltari Famous Commander Firedrake variant for Seti, the Kinslayer.\u00a0 Why do I even have this model? The Famous Commander rules for this unit are pretty funny in that this guy is basically a merc for hire and can be taken with the Resistance or PHR factions. This option was too cool to pass up so I picked up the model.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a beast with 15 separate components and some delicate sprue cutting required.\u00a0 Several of my pieces were busted out of the package so I contacted TTCombat and they sent out replacement parts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The unit looks like a fun challenge to paint up so I’ll take my time on it and try to do it up right.<\/p>\n

Also, my encounter image is up on the latest Boardgamegeek photo of the month lists.\u00a0 If you like it, give it a thumb<\/a> and check out a lot of other great images.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
