Redvers and Son Get Into Bushido

Since I started this project, several new factions have been released for the game. We have the Awoken, a spider infested faction (don’t tell Justin), the Imperial Court (which was part of the Ronin mercenaries but is now its own faction) and we have the Horselords of Ataka.

The Horselords are currently only available at conventions, so while I was lucky enough to attend UKGE, this was mu opportunity to pick these up, which I did.

The models are resin 3d print and there is some assembly but apart from removing some 3d supports and a little bit of smoothing around the joins, these went together very easily. Here are the base set and the extra model fully built.

I’m paranoid about models with small contact points, so I also pinned these wherever I could. Overall, these look lovely and have some very different rules to what I am used to in playing the Cult of Yurei, so looking forward to getting these to the table.

But, disaster struck. After building the models (as per the picture above), I put them in my garage for storage. Then it got hot in Sussex and my garage had internal temperatures of something like 40 degrees. The resin didn’t like this and, with very small contact points on some of the models, the had what can best be described as brewer’s droop.

The two footed leaping horse was on its knees and one of the models was lying flat on its side on the base. Not good. Fortunately, as it was still warm I was able to bend these back to roughly their original position and then either glue them or shove something under them to provide some support. Not ideal and I may need to look into additional supports for these models.
