Just to be sure, I’ll be trying once more with a thinner coat of paint, since that usually begins to pool on flat areas rather than properly cover. That was the case before, but still its good to know its not gotten worse.
The results are surprisingly similar, both metal and the new resin hold a single coat of paint pretty well, you could definitely paint the new resin miniatures right away without priming. To answer this question, I’ve taken an unprimed Italian Paratrooper and the AT loader and painted their sleeves with one layer of my Italian fatigue mix (German Grey, German Uniform and Black): All the folds and recesses are properly cast and easy to block in with colours and this is a very welcome change – gone are the days of little unpainted holes in your uniform.
GOOD CROSSHAIRS PLUS
On this loader it looks as though something’s wrong with the mold I would imagine, otherwise I couldn’t explain how this miscast happened.Īfter painting a miniature, one big plus I want to note: due to the material there are barely any areas where you have holes or weird casts that are unreachable for painting.
This issue most often boils down to eyes either being covered by a blob of metal or simply being cast flat. On one model specifically I experienced a weird miscast which I’ve seen on metal models before. While things like hair just look more detailed and sharper. Though I think I am not quite sure if this lack of moldlines is just a lucky cast or if this will be a continuous trend, so it remains to be seen. But with the new Warlord Resin+ I find its flex means my knife doesn’t get a consistent bite into the material mind you, that downside comes with the upside of there being seemingly fewer moldlines in general. While moldline removal on metal is always a bit of a pain for me, scraping or cutting works very reliably due to how hard the metal is. While it definitely is as easy to clip parts off the sprues, in terms of moldline removal it lacks a bit. Warlord promises that in terms of moldline cleaning and clipping of tags, Warlord Resin+ is essentially the same as metal. I sadly only had the River Song miniature as comparison with the old resin and I definitely did notice, that the new resin is a bit less bendy than the old one, but I feel like I don’t have enough resin models to compare it with, so please take this with a grain of salt. The new resin is much more flexible, it can bend further without losing its original shape or growing cracks than hard plastic. The material very much does feel like hard plastic in most aspects, where it differs immensely is on thin parts such as the barrels. Bendability, how well does it hold its shape?ĭoes it feel like hard plastic but better?.Does paint chip less without varnish than on metal? (Warlord’s promise).Can you paint it without priming? (Warlord’s promise).Does it hold detail better than metal? (Warlord’s Promise).Is it easy to work with? (Warlord’s Promise).Does it feel like hard plastic but better?(Warlord’s promise).The criteria I will test the models under will be the following: So I am eager to discover if this new resin proves to be really a feasible alternative to metal models.
More often than not it is difficult to work with and I find it generally unpleasant outside of a few very positive exceptions. I would also like to preface this review by saying I am not the biggest fan of resin. Specifically, I will test Warlord Games’s promises as well as the miniatures bendability and general painting experience. These four sets are a glimpse into a potential future of resin miniatures for Bolt Action, but how do they hold up? I managed to snag the Italian Army weapon teams and intend to put them to the test.
