Model Review: Lynda The Forgotten



Today we take a look at Lynda The Forgotten who is a Specialist class hero in Riot Quest and a Infernal solo in Warmachine and Hordes.
She comes in four metal parts.


The main body is incrediably detailed... I can't overstate this. Who ever sculpted this crammed sooo much detail into a small base mini.




She has a square attachment point on her back for her backpack and round peg style ones for both arms.



Normally I would attempt to identify all the hidden details on a model like this, but in the case there really are too many and they are tricky to identify on an unpainted model.
Highlights that caught my eye however include a Cryx soul cage and a normal cultists mask.


The backpack is also overflowing with relics trinkets and dodads... included a strange monkey looking statue thing.




Her arms are really thin and feel a bit delicate. They do have minor mould lines running down them both which was a pain to remove due to how small the parts are.
These are tricky to get to stay on and you might want to try pinning them, though they are quite thin so I didn't attempt it personally.


And here she is fully assembled.





And here is the scale shot with Professor Pendrake.
This is an absolutely stunning mini, I'm really impressed with it. I got it for Riot Quest but I think it would make an amazing player character model for almost any RPG. Especially if its a loot obsessed character!

Well this is the last of the Winter Wasteland kickstarter Heroes reviewed! (The first wave at least)
I did get a couple of the Winter Alt sculpts but I'm not sure how interested people will be in those as they aren't going to be available for sale. Currently I'm not planning to review them. (If there is enough interest however I will go ahead and do them)

I wanted to also note the new packaging for this wave of Riot Quest minis. Fully cardboard with a Replaceable front panel (which is the art card with the same section of fluff for the mini) means that every Riot Quest mini can use the same packaging. As well as there being no plastic packaging!
This does have the slight downside that shipping them in padded envelopes could lead to the packaging being crushed where as the old plastic blister packs had no problems with this. But that's a small price to pay to be more environmentally friendly.
