Cyclops Savages: 1 - Me: 1

Well, these Cyclops Savages are proving to be a real pain. I've finally got one assembled, after a little gap filling it will be ready to prime.

The second Savage however is just completely messed up. I have the right arm and the hands/weapon piece assembled but the left arm piece isn't going to fit. It's so far off that I can't just get it close and then fill in some gaps with greenstuff and do some minor sculpting to make it look right. This fix is going to have to involve cutting the arm apart and using wire and greenstuff to completely reshape the angle of the arm.

I was considering dropping one of the Savages for a Krea on the way to 500 points and this is probably going to make the decision for me.

I did finish painting Morghoul. I've finished a base for him too but the slot isn't big enough so I'll need to file Morghoul's tab to get him to fit. I'm not going with the normal red/black/gold color scheme that is normal for Skorne. I've decided to go with a green/white/silver/gold scheme instead. I'll try to get some pictures posted soon to show my progress.

Skorne are the Jack Bauer of Hordes

So maybe they're not the Jack Bauer of Hordes, but they sure are into torture. I'm starting to learn this as I try to assemble my models.

Currently I'm working on the warpack which contains Morghoul, a Titan Gladiator and two Cyclops Savages. Morghoul was easy. The Titan wasn't too bad but he did require a lot of gap filling. There was a gap about a quarter of an inch on his front torso that I had to fill and I had to sculpt some new ropes to hold up his gut armor.

The real torture are the Savages. Getting the arms lined up so they all fit correctly has proven to be a huge pain. I'm trying not to glue them onto the body since it would make painting hard, I'll probably end up having to pin all of the pieces together. I hate pinning.
