Temple of Skulls: Unboxing

I'm a bit of a bargain hunter, so I frequent second-hand trading forums looking for a deal - and this is one I just couldn't pass up. I managed to pick-up Games Workshop's Temple of Skulls for a really good deal (half RRP!), although at this point I'm not sure what I plan on using it for.

The size of the terrain piece really surprised me - I'd seen pictures online, but didn't really realise how big it was. It measures in at around 40cm x 24cm and would be a suitable piece for 40K or a skirmish game, but it's scale and shape would make it a little awkward to use on a Kings of War table.

Well, I think it looks awesome, and even if I just use it as a decorative piece of blocking terrain - and it'll definitely help bring my battles to life!

Abyssal Army Unboxing - Part 1

I thought I’d write-up a short review of the Abyssal Dwarf Army Box I received, so any other potential Abyssal Dwarf Generals can have a better idea about what to expect.

There weren’t any assembly instructions in the box, or labelling on the packets of metal pieces, so I’ll include some information here too.

PACKAGING

The contents come in a nice big box with a great piece of Abyssal Dwarf artwork on the front.

Within the box, the plastic sprues are loose, and the metal Abyssal add-ons come in separate packets of bubble-wrap.
