Pierzasty Posted February 8, 2014 Report Posted February 8, 2014 I got the Dark Debts box to paint, it's my first experience with the new MFX plastics. The sculpting/casting quality looks impressive (if very flimsy), but I'd appreciate some assembly instructions as the box seems to contain redundant bits. I googled the MFX instructions repository but this box is not on the list. From what I see, the extra bits are: - crouched Illuminated, claw arm / tentacle arm / knife arm variants - female Illuminated, mandibles+leech tongue face / tentacle mass face variants. Is it just me, or does each one come with its own torso? Am I missing anything? Are they supposed to represent certain upgrades (I only have 1.5ed cards so I can't check) like the Death Marshal flaming heads, or just for looks? BTW, any ideas on how to make the Hungering Darkness look scary instead of happy? Quote
vilow Posted February 8, 2014 Report Posted February 8, 2014 Yes, the female varian comes with two torsos, one for each head. No other spare parts here. No ideas how to improve HD, just keep in mind to paint it in the similar way to the 'beating eaten alive' iluminated. As its the same malicious force. Quote

Don't know about the upgrades as I don't have TT arsenal deck but I think these are just optional bits. I remember that assembly of the Illuminated lady's face was quite tricky and it did have two torsos in the box. BTW, any ideas on how to make the Hungering Darkness look scary instead of happy? Not possible Quote
SpiralngCadavr Posted February 8, 2014 Report Posted February 8, 2014 Not the best photo, but when I was converting this (for someone else) to have new eyes, the drilled eye sockets looked pretty cool (on the left)- I think I'm going to drill out my HD's eyes and just leave them out. Quote
Pierzasty Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Posted February 9, 2014 I'm not going to drill out the eye sockets (I had an idea of painting the bottom of the eyesockets and using smoky translucent hemispheres for the eyes though), but your color scheme neatly visualizes what I had in mind, only with arms highlighted with the same blue energy ("brilliance"?) as on the Illuminated and with inverted pupils (black eyeballs, "star" pupils, should be freaky enough and if someone gets the reference... then it gets terrifying ). Vilow: Don't worry, I'm definitely painting them similarly enough for the connection to be obvious (I think the little entities are spawned by the HD?). I think the smaller drone would look better with pure-black eyes though. Quote
