![]() I love all of the callbacks to the original model that was worked into Ursala, combined with more modern posing and an improved base. Scott: Looks like Tactical Genius runs in the family… I’m a huge fan of the original Lord Castellan Creed model, and having painted Ursala I’m so glad that James Workshop decided to update this model. There are a few areas around the cape and harness that are a little difficult to reach but they are also low-detail zones, so it’s pretty easy to skip over them. I really don’t think you need to sub-assemble this model though, the dynamic pose lends itself to giving you easy access to basically every part of the model. They clearly considered sub-assemblies when designing this model, as the base, the horse, and Lord Solar themselves can easily be attached together once painted. There’s the usual collection of fiddly things that come out of modern GW kits but the worst of those is probably that the scenic parts of the base have no structural integrity until they go onto the base as a whole. Once you’ve gotten past that, there isn’t anything too bad about the build. ![]() One thing you will encounter once you get into the kit is that it has frankly an insane number of pieces given that this isn’t that large a model, quite a few of which are thin enough to necessitate care when taking the sprue attachment points off. Painting the model was a breeze and I ended up getting sucked into picking out details rather than moving on to other steps, I will admit I wasn’t fond of the kit’s original head but swaps are easy and IMO look great! Honestly, this model really rocks, I was a little leery at first glance as it seemed like a relatively simple character on top of one of the most over-the-top bases and a rather substantial mount but it really grew on me as I worked on it. Rockfish: Hey look they did a fancy cybernetic horse, and they stuck a human on them too.
