Hamsterbacke Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hi together, my starter set for Somer Teeth arrived today, but sadly the head of the warpig is missing in the box :-( So I just wanted to ask if I can assemble and paint it now, and glue the head later onto the body when it arrives? Or is the warpig assembled in a way that you have to glue the body "around the head"? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest frogimus Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Mine required making quite a bit of the neck with greenstuff. But my set was bought about 3 years ago, so the mould may have changed since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebarbalag Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Ugh. Having the same issue, though it's a friend's box I'm assembling and painting for her. She was most excited about the pig. So disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my set was bought about 3 years ago, so the mould may have changed since then. I agree, I used quite a bit of greenstuff for this one, mostly at the head/neck but down the back as well along the seam. I just bought it a month or so ago so the mold should be about the same.

Guest frogimus Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 If this helps anyone, I used 120-grit sandpaper on a flat surface to lap each body half down flat. The two halves hold tight with just superglue (no pins) when you get the join flat. A little greenstuff hair on the resulting joint makes a pretty solid looking pig body. Since the feet/legs are so tiny, I actually pinned it to the base through the lowest point of the chest and hid the pin with a Silflor tuft.

Hamsterbacke Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the answers so far - so if want to use greenstuff I have to wait with the painting of the body? Edit: I just started with Malifaux and miniatures, so I didnt even know what greenstuff was when I just read it first - had to look it up.*wink* Edited June 11, 2013 by Hamsterbacke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest frogimus Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Might scratch the paint a bit while you're modeling the GS. But you should be able to blend OK. It really depends on your painting style/technique and how much custom color mixing you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Don't forget to note what is written inside the pigs body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbleachman Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Don't forget to note what is written inside the pigs body. An old classic. I hope the plastic version will compensate for this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
