Building the troll

Post by lineman »

Some days ago, I recieved my new Blood Bowl troll.

http://store.us.games-workshop.com/stor ... &code=B141

So, now I want to build it. But so far, everything I had to do with my miniatures was to glue them to their bases. And just to be sure I don't do anything wrong, I hope you can tell me if this is not correct:
1. On the large slotbase that comes with the troll, there are three holes on the downside. Do you have to choose one of the holes, and then drill a complete hole?
2. On the trolls heads, the two ends of the hair (if it is hair, it looks like some kind of chain) are connected with a plate. I will cut this plate off.
3. I took me a long time before I understood how I should place the arm. But now I think you have to cut off that small metal plate at the end before you glue it?

The base - On the feet there should be a bit of metal on the sole of the foot which will fit into a hole on the base.Simply decide where you want the troll to stand then make a hole through the base using the corresponding "hole" on the base.Does that make sense?

The head - Remove that plate.Its just a thing used in casting

The arm - It should have a small stub at the shoulder end that will fit into a hole in the shoulder socket anything else that does not look if it belongs to the troll should get cut off.

Normally I assemble the figure before I glue it to the base but its down to what you prefer really.Happy building :wink:
