Real easy to build. Getting them of the sprue was the easy part.
Not bending or breaking the tiny machinegun was the hardest.
Assembly
- glue the chassis together
- add the top of the chassis
- glue the spare wheel to the back
- glue your weapon of choice (or the one that didn’t break ;)) to the turret
- find a tiny commander and glue him in the turret if you want to
… - profit ?
Tiny build tips
- the hole for the turret pin is very tight.
Use a small drill bit or sharp knife to make it a bit bigger so your turret can turn a bit better. Not too big though.
You may need to do it again after priming as well, but doing it now allows for dry fitting of turret. - keeping the commander separate may make it easier to paint him
List building thoughts
Tiny, fast and fragile scouts.
If you’ve got artillery then fielding one of them as an observation post is an option. At 1 point it might just be the thing to add.
You do need to buy an extra set if you’re going that route as well as fielding a standard ,because you only get 3 and the smallest unit size is 3 …
‘Hiding’ the observer inside the scout squad might be a good idea, but I’m sure your opponent will notice.
