Eru-Kin Kickstarter Unboxing

Time for More Slann


My Eru-Kin Kickstarter from Diehard minis  has arrived which mainly consists of my elite Eru-Kin Slann warriors which I will be using as Eagle Warriors in my army. 

First up on the paint bench.

It looks like Malacassa will ride again 
 

I now I have to be honest, I had no intension of getting the Amazons until I saw them. They just shouted Oldhammer in a good way. And one will probably get converted to Karra Lakota of Magnificent Sven fame


The only issue  I have with these minis is the gel superglue that I normally use just isn't good enough and I did have to go and buy some 2-part epoxy glue instead. But this does of course allow a much larger variety but it does just mean I have to be a bit more disciplined and put the minis together in groups. A bit like the paint stripping in  that it has to reach a much higher threshold before I can get the mental energy together before it gets done!


I Know What I Should DO!


I know I should really put this mini (vintage Legolas) through the paint stripper before painting  but I just can't be bothered at the moment. So, will give him a go first. 


His mount is already painted without paint stripping, so I have some hope!

  1. They are very nice. I have some of the original Amazons, and those are clearly modelled on them, down to the poses.

    1. That they looked like old Citadel ones was the deciding factor when I picked them.
