Kromlech - Legionary Plasma Cannon

The link for these can be found here. For these I used the cheapest postage available; I was told they were dispatched but had no way of tracking them. They arrived after a week (Poland to the UK).

These were a gift from a friend of mine so I can't comment on any delivery time or packaging. As they are in blister format, I gather they were acquired from an independent stockist (feel free to let me know in the replies and I'll update).

On to the models, there's some flash as expected with resin but no bubbles or warping. Detail is crisp:

Note the lack of backpack. IMO these fit better with either 30k models (well, it is the Legionary line after all) or second edition models. That said, it shouldn't be too hard to source a back pack...?

Anyway, on to the dryfit. The model used is a third edition metal Death Company model. It's held together with blu-tac.

The design has little lugs for the handle to sit on the cannon and the load baring arm to attach which makes a snug fit once the flash, etc, is removed.

Finally, we have a comparison picture of Kromlech's offering placed alongside some of GW's.

Have to say, I am becoming a fan of Kromlech :smile.:

Good review, Jol. 

I'm already a fan of theirs, primarily the leg options they give us, but I do like the look of these plasma cannons. 

I think pretty much everything is in blisters these days; I can't remember anything from my last couple of orders coming in some other form of packaging.

Kromlech makes great detailed stuff but there's always something that makes the scale just not work for my eyes. I guess that's what happens when you spend most your hobby time deciding between half mm differences in styrene...

 

Keep the reviews coming Jolemai, they're muchly appreciated :thumbsup:
