Here’s our unboxing of the new Desert Scorpions Imperial Guard squad from Vicotria Miniatures, the Tallarns are back! Whoo-hoo!
Victoria Miniatures has been making great alternative models for a while now, so this should be another great option! Check out Rob’s full unboxing and breakdown of these great minis that make great Tallarn Desert Raiders…
Desert Scorpions Victoria Miniatures Unboxing
Rob is taking a look at these to see what all the fuss is about. Let’s see what his impressions are!
Desert Scorpions 10 Model Squad: $49.99
With the Scorpions out of the box and all laid out, we can see what you would be getting into. Assembly is straight forward but allows you to add your own variations of posing.
The detail on each of these is stunning. Each of the folds in the cloth and even the straps and buckles. You can clearly see every bit of detail as it should be!
With the first model assembled, this is essentially an assault weapon troop. Each of the different weapons just slots into the hands and any of the weapons will fit on this guy! With that freedom, there comes a little more work on the trimming side, but that’s hardly a sacrifice.
The base troops have what could be Lasguns with bayonets! There are small gaps in between the arms and the torso here, but that is easily fixed with some putty or even just some creative gluing, gap-filling, or just heat.
Last up is the squad leader. Technically any troop could be the squad leader as you get to choose who gets the arms and heads. This guy is clearly shouting out orders to his men and even dropped his canteen in the heat of battle.
You can get them as a 5 man squad or as conversion kit parts as well over on Victoria miniatures site too, so there are tons of customizable options for your army!
