Description

IMPORTANT! This set allows you to build MECHANIC ADEPT CASTELLAN-TYPE WALKER (MALE).

In the dark times of technological decline across many Forge Worlds, when ancient manufactorums lost the ability to produce highly automated war machines like the Kastelan, the Tech-Priests decided to develop a new combat unit. The Castellan-Type Walker became the answer to the growing demand for autonomous battle platforms that could replace the lost arsenal without requiring the intervention of precious techno-archives. It was a compromise between technical simplicity and combat effectiveness, allowing the Mechanic Adepts to maintain their firepower.

The new model was constructed using everything that could be salvaged from the ruins of technotemples: old frames, damaged drives, and abandoned computational nodes. To avoid the complex protocols associated with AI integration, the decision was made to connect a servitor whose brain is directly linked to the control systems, replacing sophisticated machine spirits. This machine has no consciousness; it simply follows commands with cold, mechanical precision.

Castellan-Type Walker embodies the essence of grimdark gothic design – a terrifying silhouette moving across the battlefield, clad in charred metal plates, interwoven cables, and rows of tubes pulsating with the lifeblood of servomechanisms. Its weaponry is identical to that of the original Kastelan Robots: powerful phosphor blasters and lethal power fists.

This unit has become a symbol of the Mechanicus’ pragmatism: crude, simple, yet highly effective. The Castellan-Type Walker is a soulless war construct, created as a temporary but devastating alternative, capable of providing military supremacy even in times when ancient technologies have completely failed.

The miniatures require painting and assembly (use cyanoacrylate superglue only).

PREPARATION

1. Check

Firstly, check out all the details whether there are no missing or miscast parts.
If you have problems with details – please contact us.

Then, prepare warm water and clean each part with an old toothbrush and a dishwashing liquid to remove any excess mould release agent which may still be on the surface of the parts.
Please leave the parts to soak for a while before scrubbing if they feel very greasy.
We highly recommend not skipping this step!
Any mould release agent left on the model may prevent the primer from adhering to the model.

2. Casting Gates

The casting gates can be removed with a pair of clippers. Use a sanding pad, modelling knife or model file to clean off any excess.
In case gates are too large for the clippers, use a razor saw or piercing saw.

3. Mould Lines

Resin components are cast into silicone moulds that have split lines.
Sometimes, there may be slight lines on the model that shows where the mould joins together.
In that case, you should remove them so that they don’t show up after painting.
Please use a modelling knife or a file to carefully scrape or file away the line.
Then a smooth surface with some fine sandpaper if it’s necessary.

4. Warped Parts and Repositioning

Sometimes thinner parts could be slightly bent or twisted.
You can easily fix that by immersing the piece in hot water or by applying heat from a hairdryer.
The piece should reform to its original shape by itself.
If not, gently twist the piece back into position.
The amount of heat that needs to be applied is often determined by the thickness of the parts. Thicker parts need to be heated for a longer time.
This technique can also be used to bend some parts into shapes and positions to pose models.
