N17 Forgeworld Sumpkroc Revealed
- Thread starter DerekDecker
- Start date
They probably meant to, but I get the impression the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing over at GW... The whole N17 process has been a disaster.
The Goliath themed stim injectors or whatever they are on his back are terribly sculpted, (checking the unpainted shots) you've come to expect resin to be a bit crappy compared to plastic the longer the mini has been out, but right from the start on this model they look deformed.

Agreed. Also the body is too small for the head, and the hind legs need buffing up.
If you ask @Kommissar Shriken nicely I recon he could knock one up! View attachment 69054 View attachment 69053
i think making a moldcopy of my version will be difficult, but next time i will make a sculpt with parts to assemble and make copies When i saw the art of the new sump croc i was saying "WOW how cool!" but the FW sculpt looks ugly, like he has eaten to much candy
The head certainly looks better from the unpainted one's angle - although the rest looks rather worse. Truly a Goliath crocodile: big and beefy due to steroid use, with a side effect of giving him a small, ahem, tail.
At least my Escher ladies no longer have to be jealous that they can't field a croc, as I have little interest in that model anyway (yeah, I know, the cats hardly look amazing.. but those might be salvageable. If they're ever released.)

I think i would rather just buy a croc from reaper, at least I won't be upset by the mold lines and poor fit when its like 4 dollars.
I'm quite keen on the model myself, which seems to put me in a minority here.
Even if, from some angles, it does look like it just got out of the shower.

I’ve ordered one like. Got to get me some croc action. Really not sure how I’ll paint it though, I think I’ll do the belly the same bone colour but the armoured scales more of a black colour. I think. Might look a bit weird though.
I like it! Now I just need to wait for a few more necromunda goodies to come out so I can combine shipping...
Your paint job looks exponentially better without the benefit of studio photography and Photoshop.
Glad to see the 40mm bases are indeed plastic and not resin! Hoping they go on sale separately soonish!

I'm a fan of the model design, although the gap filling looks like a lot of bother and the official paint job is horrendously bad :/ ... but I'm not sure it's worth 22 pounds to me (thanks Forgeworld currency exchange tax) when there are cheaper alternatives around... I don't think it's that 'wow'...
The idea of using the new Flesh Hounds has a nice ring to it... if I don't forgo GWS altogether and get a Reaper (or other) proxy.

I only had to greenstuff mine on the right hand side legs, unfortunately they’re turned away in the photos but the gaps weren’t very big to be honest. The left hand side joined up seemlessly for me, as did the tail. The head and jaws matched up well too, if you’re careful you can get the ridges on the soft fleshy parts of the cheeks to line up perfectly. It’s really not so bad.
I'm just hoping the sweet 40mm plastic base will be made available separately. £4 for a pack of 5 will be my guess.
