Unboxing Malifaux - M2E The Drowned

"Did you hear a dripping sound?"

The Drowned box contains enough parts for three miniatures...namely The Drowned. It also contains stats card for them though there are no upgrade cards.

The Drowned - Sprue
The box has one sprue in it as well as the aforementioned cards. Here's pictures of both sides of it...

The Drowned - Stat Card
Wyrd Games didn't like my publishing pictures of both sides of the stat cards so you'll have to make do with this...

Should there be any assembly issues with the model then they will be listed in the appropriate section and you can view larger versions of the smaller pictures or instruction pictures by clicking on them.

The Drowned - Instructions

Some General Notes on Assembly.
Many of these models contain quite small parts so depending on how dexterous you are you might consider getting yourself some tweezers. Dry-fitting is also always a good idea in case a part needs a tiny bit of extra filing or filling as some of the fits are quite tight. Where the parts on the sprue are quite thin (chains, weapon shafts, cables and the like) then it might be better to remove parts with a sharp scalpel rather than cutters.

The Drowned

The Drowned 1 - Assembled
The top piece of the anchor has a fairly small attachment point so dry-fitting is recommended beforehand so you glue in the right place.

Here's a comparison picture between the original metal version and the new M2E plastic one.

The Drowned 2 - Assembled
The hands and anchor slot into the gap between the torso and legs so make sure these parts are aligned correctly. There are only four parts in total.

The Drowned 3 - Assembled
This one contains many parts. The torso has no attachment/location point so align it with anchor shaft at rear to get the positioning right. The separate anchor head fits in an indentation on the models rear. The head is small and in two parts and the arms are thin so these parts need some care when attaching.
