Abyssal Army Unboxing - Part 2

In my last post I listed everything included in the Abyssal Dwarf Army Box, but here's the sprue and baggie combinations used for each unit. I'll put up my adventures in assembly as I begin construction of my army!
(Note that all the sprues are have their names printed on them - i.e. Dwarf Ironclad Command, Balefire Catapult, etc)

BLACKSOULS (20)
Dwarf Ironclad Command Sprue (2) – 5 dwarf models on each sprue
Dwarf Ironclad Troop Sprue  (2) - 5 dwarf models on each sprue
The biggest bag of metal bits


DECIMATORS (10)
Dwarf Ironwatch (5) – 2 dwarf models on each sprue
The bag with the metal blunderbusses


IMMORTAL GUARD (10)
Dwarf Ironclad Command Sprue (2) – 5 dwarf models on each sprue
Dwarf Shieldbreaker (2) -  2 dwarf models on each sprue
The bag with 8 metal torsos

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.



CONTENTS

SPRUES
Dwarf Ironclad Command (4) – 5 dwarf models on each sprue
Dwarf Ironclad Troop (2) - 5 dwarf models on each sprue
Dwarf Shieldbreaker (2) -  2 dwarf models on each sprue
Dwarf Ironwatch (5) – 2 dwarf models on each sprue
Undead Balefire Catapult (1) – 1 warmachine on each sprue
Dwarf Ironbelcher Crew (1) – 2 dwarf models on each sprue

METAL PACKETS (in bubble-wrap baggies)
Immortal Guard Bag – the one with 8 metal torsos in it
Blacksouls Bag – the biggest bag
Decimators Bag – the bag with the blunderbusses in it
Katsuchan Rocket Bag – the smallest bag

OTHER
Bases - 42 included, enough for your dwarf troops (you'll need two more for your Mutated Mastiffs though)
Rulebook (printed on a pamphlet)
Mantic Points (a bunch of little stickers)

Alright - without cataloguing every little piece, everything seems in order! In part two, I'll go over which sprues are for which units.

From the Depths of the Abyss...

These packages probably didn't come directly from the Abyss. Maybe that's where they originated, I don't know for certain. But I mean, it's fair to assume they came from the Abyss, right? Right.

My two Abyssal Army Boxes and Abyssal Warlord Conclave have arrived from their various sources, as well as a delivery of plasticard I plan on using for future constructions.

My instinctive frenzy to rip and tear at the packaging took over, and the feeble paper packaging proved no match for the furious carnage of my ravenous enthusiasm!


So, I've got my Abyssal Dwarf Army now, and I'm on the long road to getting it table-top ready!
