I've built the Manticore
I've put a lot of time into pinning all the components to make sure it stays durable (fingers crossed!). It still needs some green stuff work on the gaps and on the base in particular. I got the Warhammer Basing Kit as a present for christmas so it was nice to finally find a use for all the little resin base decorations as I didn't feel any of them fit with my armies.
Dieter is a mini I've wanted to build for about 15 years so it's nice to finally get to do so. I haven't decided what I'm going to do for a colour scheme on him and whether I'm going to try and replicate the banner in the picture or try something slightly different. Which leads to an important question... Does the mini for Dieter Helsnicht have any in game use nowadays? I know he could fit in a Warriors of Chaos army as a Sorcerer on a Manticore (he's the original owner of the Chaos Runesword as well so he fits doubly well!). Necromancers can't take Abyssal Terrors in the Vampire army book can they? So he'd have to be a counts as Vampire for them. Maybe a counts as Amethyst Wizard on a Pegasus for the Empire? But then we're starting to tread on rather unsteady ground I think...
Just trying to identify the target audience for him!
Thoughts, opinions and ideas are very welcome
