crimsondave Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I never got mad and threw one in the trash until today. Illuminor Szeras got me. Threw a $60 model in the trash. I’m done. Bad part is I was taking a break from another project. That was the last Necron model I had that wasn’t assembled and painted. I guess my Necrons are 100% done now.

N1SB Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Thanks for the warning, Brother Dave, and congrats for completing your Necrons project!

Captain Coolpants Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I can't lie, I had zero trouble with mine. Probably just caught you on a bad day lol. But least you're technically finished now haha. Definitely keep the broken model though. Can never have too many bits for the bits box! crimsondave 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382322-in-30-years-of-assembling-models%E2%80%A6/#findComment-6022871 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I’ve had more issues with forge world resin and Chinese junk but I was prepared for that. I didn’t expect issues with a GW plastic kit and lost patience.

Tyriks Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Don't build new Flayed Ones. I found them miserable, much worse than Szeras. I think I broke my Szeras but in a way I was able to work with (just removed some doodad or something where the break was).

Ugh, couldn't stand the Flayed Ones, which is probably why I only have one 5-man squad. I will probably order some recast of the older finecast ones if I want more. Haven't done the Illuminor yet, but heard he was pretty bad as well. crimsondave 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382322-in-30-years-of-assembling-models%E2%80%A6/#findComment-6022936 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyriks Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 The Flayed Ones are the only kit I've built that I would not build again. If I need more Flayed Ones I will either convert/print them or buy second-hand or something. I really struggled to finish one 10 man squad. crimsondave 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382322-in-30-years-of-assembling-models%E2%80%A6/#findComment-6022999 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I broke my Szeras but in a way I was able to work with (just removed some doodad or something where the break was). I can fix mine. I dug it out of the trash and put it in a box. Probably to remain there for a few years. My Necrons have been done for a long time. I just picked him up for the heck of it. I just wanted a short break from my CSMs I’ve been working on for months. Bad choice on my part.

I found Necrons to be the easiest army to put together and make look good of anything I’ve worked on. That’s why I expected him to be a breeze. Glad you told me because they’re about the only infantry models I don’t have and probably would have picked some up eventually.

Ahzek451 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I get it, when the new szeres came out, I slapped it together kinda sloppily and I remember it being a pain then. The blood affect was bent and hanging on by a thread. Then I realized I built it wrong and it would be too much effort to paint the way I want it. So into storage he went. Likely to be sold. Bought another one about a month ago and tackled it very slowly and methodically in terms of pre-planning for the purposes of painting. Carefully chosen decisions on sub assemblies to make life easier. I ended up getting creative by carefully chopping his front "foot" away, off of the human as well as the laser affect at the end of his staff, so I could paint the human and blood affect separately. It took me a long time, but I got him done. And all I could think was.......good freaking luck to the average hobbyist.

Prot Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Wow I forgot how difficult and frustrating he was. I'm sorry to hear that. The funny thing is I just bought one (I sold the old one a few years ago as part of a painted army.) This is a good warning. I've been really disliking some of the new model assemblies. Lately they seem to twist and contort weird body assemblies together that that make me miss the old days of posable models even more. Anyway your warning makes me realize I will have to be in a very good frame of mind and prepare to be very patient before tackling this model again. crimsondave 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382322-in-30-years-of-assembling-models%E2%80%A6/#findComment-6025270 Share on other sites More sharing options...
