Female Desert Scorpions Tallarn Alternatives: Unboxing
The Site & Resources
The site is very well set up and easy to navigate. She has a ton of character alternative minis, some fun takes on models we all know and love, and even bunches of cool tank bits. Even if you just want some pieces for conversions and not entire minis, they have you covered!
They are also starting to do these with some 3D printed bits, so you get some resin bits and 3D printed bits in the sets.
Even though these Scorpions are a little more than a plastic kit, they are a super fun alternative to change up the look and feel of your army. And with them being hand-crafted boutique resin, it just is super cool to add a few of them to your army.
Plus you get free shipping on all orders over a hundred dollars! And by spending that much, you also get the free mini of the month which there is a ton to pick from! But even if you just spend $50, you can grab the free mini. Can’t complain about free stuff.
The Bits
The detail on these is just super crisp! You get one sprue with the face shields and one without.
You get two sets of the same legs, but you can also buy these separately if you just want the bits.
A quick hobby hack for you, when you’re cutting off a small part, put some blue-tac behind it to take the force, it will keep things from snapping.
They did these parts as 3D prints to keep them from curling or breaking because the other resin sometimes won’t hold up. These look to be really high-quality 3D printed bits and have already been cured. They are also holding very strong, so Rob isn’t worried about them breaking off.
Built Minis
The detail level on this is super high, and they went together extremely easily. The 3D printed bits are also ready to be primed, so no extra steps needed.
There are a ton of poses you can build them into, with plenty of weapon options. Even if you grab 50-60 of these, you could have them all looking different and not get bored with them.
Size Comparisons
They are ever so slightly smaller than the Guardsman, but the size looks great.
Obviously, the Primaris is much bigger, but that’s how it should be!
That does it for this unboxing! They are just really fun alternative minis to give your army a totally different feel!
