I am Unmann, You are Unmann, We are Unmann
Hot from the forge and on the trail of the splendid Britanans comes the first of the Orcnar releases - The Unmann.
I got 6 of them a few days ago and they're already assembled with their first coat of paint :P A clear indication of how easy these guys are to get to grips with.
The models themselves come in packs of 3, 3 different poses and 3 different left arm variations giving a total of 9 possible variants. Minimal clean up work on these with only a few noticeable mold lines. One chunky pin in the armpit and a bit of green stuff and jobs a good un(mann). Admittedly some of the arms work better with certain bodies than others but they all definitely fit nicely. I would definitely say that you have to pin these models, glue alone wont hold the weight of their chunky arms and if ever a model deserved the word chunky as a description its the Unmann. When compared to a GW ogre the Unmann have much larger arms and hands and considering thats a comparison between a 30mm model and 40mm its pretty damn impressive.
The paint job of these will be a lot more straight forward than the brits due to the power of the dry brush to really bring out the fleshy tones. I will be using a very limited palette with these starting with scorched brown and working upwards. Thats not to say they lack detail... oh no... the Unmann have real character and dynamic poses and give off a superhero-e gremliny caveman type persona. Take a look yourself here - Unmann Pics
Gamewise - For Relics the Unmann are the main bulk of all initial Orcnar armies and work in units of 3 - 6, Il cover more on the details in a future battle report...
Outside of Relics the Unmann is useful in loads of different games, sci fi monsters/aliens/ mutant experiments/ superheros/villains / you name it - and they definitely have the poses to fit into any sports type game - like Bloodbowl ;)
Il post some pics of em when they're done and Ive acquired a camera... soon hopefully.
Just over £3 per model - £9.50 a pack - Worth the money in metal as well as quality -
Treat yourself to a pack - Here
