Games Workshop 99120202013" Warhammer Empire State Troops Action Figure

Product Information

The Perry kit makes this easier by having most of weapons integrated with both arms, so you can just slide them on at the shoulders. Unlike historical kits which tend to just give you a banner pole on which to mount a paper flag, GW tends to integrate the flag with the pole.

Regiments attempt to instil a certain pride among their ranks, but this rarely gets by the cynicism of the average soldier. Raised from the common soldiery, Empire Greatswords are trained as powerful shock troops, able to deliver a brutal assault against an enemy line or to protect the army's general as an elite honour guard. This pretty much rules them out against Chaos despite the extra strength because A) you want as narrow a frontage as you can against Chaos armies to reduce the number of incoming attacks and B) those incoming attacks decimate the unit before you get to retaliate.The mould lines on the Perry kit were there if you looked hard enough but they were so faint that I did wonder if even really needed to scrape them off. Fortunately, soldiers are apt to follow the unwritten rules and are usually too shrewd to draw their weapons. I hope that is one cross scale kitbash I can get away with as it is probably the only way I can give my Perry gunners one short of sculpting one from scratch.

torsos have brigandines and full plate leg armour which I would have trouble seeing as anything less than heavy armour. But Phil and I were both keen on tying in certain background elements – with the household colours being purple and white, plus I liked the idea of painting all the armour black.This can also suit soldiers who might be better off working other jobs while waiting to be mobilised.

The cheapest way to draw attention is to exaggerate, because humans are naturally curious about odd things, the abnormal. Spearmen: Not the greatest choice according to most people, however my spearmen have done very well in the since that they are meant to do one thing, which is to hold up the enemy for as long as possible. The Perry kit comes with some weird bases that probably make sense for historical games but which are a bit unusable for Warhammer Fantasy Battles. Standard regiments — halberdiers, handgunners, sword, pike, and spear — usually recruit those without talent for anything else.Really it is like two kits in one since it also makes alternative halberdiers, spearmen and potentially also swordsmen as the other State Troop kit from GW does. When it came to the State Trooper frames I was actually quite surprised by the amount of detail crammed onto the main body components – armour, bags, belts, knives, kitchen sinks (okay, I made that one up), each one has something approaching a character model level of detail. Now that I have plucked the bits I want from their sprues, the trials before our contenders will be won or lost on mold lines and ease of removal. They may be corrupt, or prone to cutting corners, but it is in their interests to command effective fighting forces.

Special Weapons: 2 champion maces (right arm), 4 champion swords (right arm), champion left hand dagger x2, 2 champion sword two handed grip. The Perry kit does look like it might be quite a bit more fiddly to assemble, not just from the absence of integrated arms but also from the daintiness of those tiny true scale parts.
