Remaining 6th Ed Ungors

Still have some remaining, unbuilt Ungors from the same batch I bought off my friend back when I first started playing WFH (6th Ed.)! These older models have some charm despite some technical drawbacks compared even to the 7th ed models (variety, clarity of detail/sculpt, etc.), and are rather nostalgic for me.

These came in a box that was a mix of 12x Gors and 8x Ungors, which was a unit combination you could field back then. With the new Beastmen Arcane Journal for TOW, this type of unit mix returns with the Primal Warherds!

Pieces laid out, cleaned up and ready to be glued. Missing a shield as I used one some time ago to glue onto another build Ungor missing a shield...going to have to find a replacement! 

The bits are more limited in variety than the Ungors that came out for 7th ed. The spears are identical, and pretty plain. The plastic of the spear shafts tend to be more bendy and less rigid than the 7th ed ones

There's only 2 different body types that vary the pose, some decorative bits, and the number of rivets on their belly plates

It's not uncommon to find more flashing as seen on this particular head bit

Some details can be muddy on these old beastmen too; the hanging animal tooth charm on the side of the thigh is a prime example

The shields and arms are separate bits (the 7th ed ones are mostly fused arm to shield). I don't like this, and am glad the 7th ones have most of their shield arms ready to go.

As seen on the other bits, the mold lines are everywhere!

Gluing the sub-assemblies for the shield arms. There's some bent arms and some straightened. 

I like to glue the bodies to the bases first so that I have a stable base to glue the rest of the bits onto and adjust positioning, etc.

After gluing everything together, I have a dilemma....the hanging decor on the shields don't hang consistently relative to gravity. 

Since the arms only glue onto the shields a certain way, this seems like an oversight in the design process of the mini. I have to decide if I just keep it (as these are chaff models) or perform surgery and cut off the arms and replace with something else. There's also spending the time to scrape off the string and bits too...hmm decisions decisions...
