Tybrus Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hello All, Don't post here much as I have not fielded my wolves since Rogue Trader days. However, with the new models coming out I had to get some. I plan on painting them up old school Grey to match my old army (Now if only I could match the Rogue Trader Army Badge Sticker) Anyway, When I got my Battleforce in the mail yesterday and jumped into it, I found that all 4 sprues for the wolves had a problem. The Wolf Claws were not fully molded. The top 2 clows on one of them was only half formed. Did anyone else have this problem? I plan on contacting GW about this, and I will post what happens but I wanted to know if this was a one time problem or if anyone else had faced this yet?

El Scotcho Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I bought 4 of them myself, and nary a problem. I have had problems in the past though, with tactical squad boxes and such. Just give Gdub a call up, they'll fix your problem. My brother was once missing a backpack for some chaos devastators (don't know what they're called), and they sent him the backpack and a new box. My friend didn't receive bases in his Imperial Guard battleforce one time, and the sent him the bases and a new battleforce. I'm not saying that they'll do this for you, but they will at least send you a replacement of the screwed up sprue.

Lord Ragnarok Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Mine seem ok but I'll double check when I get home. For my possessed chaos marines one of the plastic wings had broken and they sent me an entire possessed box. When I purchased the latest nilla dex, they shipped me the IG one and let me keep it while they sent the SM dex. When they have messed up they've always gone well beyond. I'm starting to think it is easier for the to manage vs managing a bunch of bitz or managing a return of incorrect shipment.

wizard12 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 hey, what can they do with a dammaged box? nothing. It would cost double the cost of a mould to melt the plastic and remold it all in my opinion Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182586-bad-wolf-claws-in-battleforce-box/#findComment-2159887 Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzyman1981 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 What they probibly will do is send a new Space Wolf regular box to replace the sprues messed up.

DGC Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Just got my Battleforce and everything is good ..... except..........unless I am mistaken the right wolf claw has been sculpted wrong. I would like other peoples opinion but it would seem the elbow armour plate is on the inside of the arm I will try an get a picture up later to show you what I meen but if anyone else has one, can you check to confirm DGC Edit: here's what I meen http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/DSCN0849.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182586-bad-wolf-claws-in-battleforce-box/#findComment-2160023 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growler67 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Mine look fine. @ DGC, it looks okay to me. Comparing it with some of the pics in the Dex, it looks like the one used in the pose where they are both pointing toward the models right, the right arm extended and the left crossing in front of the chest. I'm guessing that you are pointing out (in your pic) the angle where the arm attaches to the torso. Fingers and claws look cast properly.

DGC Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Growler67 - I think you are right. I was trying for a raised position and that just isn't going to happen without some serious cutting, so it looks like the only way to mount these is in the pose in the codex or his arm ends up looking deformed. (have to rethink the mini now!!) DGC Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182586-bad-wolf-claws-in-battleforce-box/#findComment-2160225 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growler67 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 You could always pin it, then fill in the gap with GS or your preferred putty.

Wulf Vengis Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I havent bought the battleforce yet...but I do REALLY need a drop pod...hmmm Anyways I bought the WG Termies and the Wolf Pack and I put together those and all this other stuff Ive had sitting around since...January I think. Then I bought the primer and primed it all. Only to discover two hours later when I came home to paint that the primer was bad and left a strange crunchy powder on everything. All the really fine detail is wasted and they look like someone painted them with black liquid sand. I hope GW is ready for the phone call theyre getting in the morning tomorrow.

Growler67 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 1 - You didn't shake/mix the paint adequately 2 - You shot from too far away and the paint dried enroute to the models, thus the gritty finish. There are methods for stripping paint that will not hurt your models: Soaking in SImple Green, Easy Off oven cleaner and so on.

Wulf Vengis Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I shall attempt this but I fear there are couple losses who may not make it of the dip alive...

Growler67 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 The Simple Green method is safer (non-toxic) just takes longer, if you have the patience. Just soak for a few days, then using an old toothbrush, lightly scrub, then rinse and repeat as needed. The easier method is the oven cleaner. Of course in a well ventilated area (even if you use the low fume variety) place your models (plastic or metal, even safe for resin) in a large freezer zip top bag. Spray them down until thoroughly coated, then close the bag. Wait about 10 minutes then rinse clean (where safe to do so - with hose outdoors or indoor sink - keep in mind the ventilation). Repeat as needed. Your models will be fine with either method - I've used them both on models of every material. Your time, patience level and logistics of your work area are the primary considerations as far as choosing your method.
