Thank you again Christian and Brückenkopf for another great
review!
As with every Brückenkopf review, tons of pictures and a well thought out review. I ran the
review through Google Translate so that you might read the review as well.
Google does a pretty good job but it not perfect, there will be some reading
between the lines here and there but its pretty easy to understand.
Today we take another kit of Dreamforge Games under the
microscope.
At a glance:
Manufacturer: Dream
Forge Games
Product: iron core
Valkir Support Troopers
Price: 22,00 EUR (5
man)
Material: Hard
Plastic
The Support Troopers
expand the range of Valkirs to another kit.
The Valkirs is the heavily armored "knight Warriors" the iron
core soldier, presently there for you three kits, one of which we already
Assault Troopers in an earlier review had come under scrutiny.
The cast frame
Today, we start again with the cast frame. The box contains a half-cast frames that are
filled to the brim:
Numerous items, which
we'll discuss later. First, it is time
for a look at the details:
Once again, the parts
are cast absolutely sharp and full of detail.
The casting quality of support Troopers is at first glance at the level
of Dreamforge already well-known, high.
Sometimes a little
small and simple, but on the whole, all options will be sufficient well
explained. The main problem is once
again that even with the support Troopers again parts were mislabeled in the
cast frame. Fortunately, the error
affected only the numbers, the letters, which are assigned to the parts of a
weapon / pose, were correct.
First, we have
rebuilt the legs also here:
This was followed by
the torsos:
This was followed by
the most difficult part: the weapons poses.
Show falls on the many small bits that assembly into a relatively
complex action machen.Wie already earlier kits the iron core series are also
Valkir Support Troopers rather a kit for advanced hobbyists.
After gluing we
obtain the following upper body:
On the legs that
looks like this (we even other bases used that match the rest of the army):
This was followed by
the shoulder pads and the heads (there are three designs to choose from) and at
the end saw the models as follows:
The size comparison
Of course, this
should not be missed:
As you can see, the
fall Valkirs massive than the normal iron core Trooper, but as the Space
Marines of GW since Snapfit Navy shown here have grown little, they offer
themselves as proxies to absolutely.
The Conclusion
Even with the support
Troopers provide Dreamforge Games once again from a very high quality and
excellently crafted kit. The pieces fit
together all problems, the mold lines are weak and can be removed quickly. The assembly is characterized by the many
small parts relatively complex, but the precision fit mitigates this issue
somewhat.
The poses of the
Support Troopers are quite rigid and largely fixed at least in the upper
bodies, in view of the over heavy weapons but this is more comprehensible than
the Assaut Troopers, where slightly more poses and options would have been much
more important. That each weapon only
once in the box is, on the one hand a pity, another solution would be due to the
many parts and the associated space requirements to cast frame but not have
been possible. As the box is priced fair
with 22 euros, provides in doubt, also a duplicate purchase.
So the conclusion is
even more positive, and all those who Marines or other heavily armored Sci-Fi
are troops on the lookout for old Natien Space, can strike without hesitation
at the Valkirs.
