From the Vaulted Realm of Pluto

Nope, no clothes here to hold back any movement. This has been a good mental balance to Warren’s Celt gesatae and I’m glad for no tattoos. I did a few mods on these figures. I added LBMS transfers to the Brother Vinni figures as I thought they would fit the shields. I was right and wrong on that point. I didn’t want to deal with the issue of snapped resin spears I replaced them with steel ones from Warlord Games.

Anyone buying these figures will see that they are perfectly sized to Wargames Atlantic hoplons. The difference between them is a sculpted laurel detail around the center for the Brother Vinni offering. The edge of the LBMS transfers sit right where the laurels come up from the otherwise smooth surface. It’s a very close fit and most times it was enough for the transfer to pull back from the edge and not adhere to the shield fully. To try and address this I added extra clearcoat to act as a filler. After drying fully it didn’t work. Its only noticeable on very close scrutiny.

Beyond that I will freely admit to finding deadly mould lines along the rear leg of some models which I failed to remove beforehand. Its on a side my opponents don’t see and there is plenty enough going on otherwise that the detail in question can be overlooked. I’ll be sure to address the issue on other models in future. As a preamble to the UHH.. bugger off 😆.

As an update for other figures, the sythyrs from Eureka have all been pinned to their bases and magnets inserted to make sure the figures don’t end up getting tossed around the carrying tray. There were a few arms to pin but generally the sockets fit well enough that you could get away with just gluing. All the figures of the unit have tails and they are quite fiddly. The use of solder might’ve been a damn good idea but melting temperatures is something I don’t want to mess with. I opted for using glue to attach them and it’s worked so far. Pictures to come when they’re painted.
