Opening the box

On a recent visit to Warhammer World I purchased the boxed Orc Warboss on Wyvern for Warhammer: The Old World.

I never had this (originally) metal kit, this version is resin and I did like it. did think about using it for my Feral Ork army. Though I might paint it for an Orc and Goblin army for The Old World.

The model comes in a plain Forge World box.

Within the box are a number of resin pieces, some plastic wings and a large rectangular plastic base.

The original version of this model was metal. This has been re-released as a resin model. The castings were excellent.

They will need to be washed, cleaned up, stuck together and then fitted onto the base.

Buying stuff at Warhammer World

I was visiting Warhammer World and decided I would treat myself to something. I did have an idea of the kits I might get, but wasn’t really set on any one thing.

I did consider getting the Macharius Vulcan Heavy Tank, which is one of the models on the top of my wants lost. However it wasn’t in stock. Another idea was the Warhammer World exclusive Land Speeder, but that also wasn’t in stock.

As I toured the exhibition, I decided that I would probably get some more Grot tanks, as I had enjoyed building and painting the ones I had bought before.

Though you can mail order models from Games Workshop (that aren’t available in your local gaming shop or even branches of Games Workshop) there is something about buying them from Warhammer World.

So, before I paid my money I did look around at what else was around. Seeing the metal models available for The Old World, I started to feel a little nostalgic. In the end I bought two models from The Old World Range.

I bought the Orc Warboss on Wyvern.

The other thing I got were the Dwarf Engineers.

This was four metal models, which were originally released about twenty years ago. I never bought these, as my original dwarf army comprised miniatures from the 1980s and 1990s.

I was pleased with my purchases and am looking forward to constructing and painting them.
