Citadel Toolbox: Hot Wire Cutter

January 2007·p. 75

THE SHORT VERSION

The toolbox compares polystyrene densities before showing how a hot wire cutter shapes terrain without scattering loose foam everywhere. Angled cuts around a crater leave an inner core that can be reused to produce progressively smaller craters from the same block. PVA, sand, drybrushing and protective varnish finish the pieces, while the guide discusses heat and ventilation precautions associated with the tool.

Empire Troops: State Troops and Handgunners Kits

Numbered parts charts explain how the new State Troops kit creates Spearmen, Swordsmen or Halberdiers and how the missile kit produces Handgunners or Crossbowmen. Alternative heads, shields, weapons, command parts and small accessories support different regimental characters. Finished examples demonstrate the relationship between the parts and battlefield roles, including the Marksman accompanied by his powder monkey.

A detailed component chart separates the shared cavalry bodies and horses from the weapons and clothing that distinguish Pistoliers and Outriders. It identifies repeater handguns, pistols, a blunderbuss, musician parts and numerous accessories, showing how the same frame supports two different regiments. The breakdown provides a planning reference for selecting a rider’s equipment and decorative details before assembly.

Cleaning Your Models and Filling Gaps

The preparation tutorial distinguishes mould lines on plastic models from metal flash, showing how to remove both before priming. A Great Unclean One’s shoulder joint demonstrates gap filling with a rolled sausage of evenly mixed Green Stuff, pressed into place and smoothed with a damp sculpting tool. Adjacent brush-care instructions explain cleaning, restoring points and avoiding dried paint near the ferrule.
