In 11 Days, We Ambush
Days Four and Five
Now the army is here and the bases are ready, the last two evenings have been about building.
I opened one of the army boxes (having opened the Reaper box on day two) and was pleasantly surprised to find that the scarecrow/spectre kit was hard plastic not restic. Really nice sprues with very few mould lines.
Realising that they will be faster to put together, I’ve added an extra regiment of spectres and taken out the reapers for the initial list. Working with Preferred Model Count (PMC) in third edition of Kings of War is just a flat 75% which with these spindly little nightmares is good news. So instead of 80 models to build and paint for my standard infantry regiments, I’ve got 60.
Clipping everything off the sprues and into piles seemed the best move. I prioritised the weapons for the scarecrows along with the pumpkin heads and the heads with big hats. For the spectres I used more of the tentacle limbs. With the planned paint jobs it isn’t like they are going to be easily mistaken for each other but it made more sense in my head.
