Troubleshooting
Miniatures do not fit together properly during assembly.
Check the assembly instructions carefully and ensure you are using the correct parts. Minor adjustments with a hobby knife or file may be necessary for a perfect fit. Ensure no excess plastic sprue material is obstructing the connection.
Difficulty understanding specific warband abilities.
Refer to the detailed lore and rules provided in the expansion. Consult the official Warcry rules and FAQs on the Games Workshop website for clarifications.
Painted miniatures are chipping or paint is flaking.
Ensure miniatures were properly primed before painting. Applying a varnish after painting can add a protective layer. Handle painted miniatures with care to avoid unnecessary wear.
