Hey, fellow hobbyists! As a tabletop veteran with over a decade immersed in the high-tech skirmishes of Infinity the Game, I’m thrilled to dive into Warcrow, Corvus Belli’s fantasy epic. The latest release, the War Rig from the Hegemony of Embersig faction, is a beast that’s got my hobby heart racing. This mobile fortress is a game-changer for any warband, and I’m here to share the full scoop with a Warcrow War Rig unboxing, a look at the stunning Unicool parts, tips on handling, assembly, and safety, plus a quick peek at its stats and lore in the game. Whether you’re a fellow Infinity vet jumping into Warcrow or a new recruit to the Lindwurm wilds, this War Rig assembly guide will get you rolling.
Stick with me—I’ve got photo placement ideas to make your build shine, and I’ll point you to the best places to grab one. Let’s tear into this box!
The War Rig is an enormously powerful manned mechanical unit designed for prolonged frontal combat. It has massive damage and area control capabilities. It is a devastating sight on the battlefield. “A mobile fortress that redefines the concept of a defensive line. When it appears, the enemy knows that they will pay a bloody price for every inch of ground.”
What does it bring to your army?
• A powerful mobile artillery position and a threat that your opponent cannot ignore.
• Its “Fire Breath” ability can devastate enemy units.
The Thrill of the Unboxing: First Impressions of the War Rig
There’s nothing like cracking open a fresh Corvus Belli kit, and the Warcrow War Rig delivers that hobbyist rush in spades. The box sports the Hegemony’s fiery artwork—a hulking war machine charging through ember-lit ruins. It’s a worthy centerpiece for any 34mm-scale warband.
Inside, you’re greeted with a tidy haul: the resin chassis (hello, Unicool goodness). Corvus Belli’s molding is razor-sharp, with minimal flash and everything snug in three plastic bags to survive shipping. My only quibble? No single-sheet instructions or QR code—Infinity vets will breeze through, but newcomers might want the online PDF from the Warcrow site for extra clarity.
Spotlight on Unicool Parts: What Makes the War Rig Stand Out
The Unicool parts are where Corvus Belli flexes. This proprietary resin has a pearlescent glow that screams Embersig’s volcanic vibe—think dragon-forged armor catching torchlight. The War Rig’s core pieces are all Unicool, giving it a premium finish straight out of the box.
Handling is a breeze: Unicool is flexible enough to forgive minor bends during cleanup. I used flush cutters and 600-grit wet sandpaper to smooth the few mold lines on the chassis—no fuss.
Tip from an Infinity vet: Dry-fit all parts before gluing. Unicool loves super glue, but test your accelerator spray on a scrap piece to avoid surprises.
Assembly Deep Dive: Handling, Tips, and Safety
Tools and Prep for Building Your War Rig
Before you dive into the War Rig, gather these essentials:
- Flush cutters for clean sprue removal.
- 600-grit wet sandpaper for smoothing Unicool parts.
- Super glue (I use Loctite) and accelerator spray for fast bonds.
- Safety gear: N95 mask and glasses for dust and clipping.
- Optional: Airbrush for priming, green stuff for gaps. Set up on a stable, well-lit desk with a cutting mat. Pro tip: Keep a tool tray to avoid losing that tiny magnet! Need supplies? Check Warsen.al or your local game store for quality gear.
Building the War Rig took me about 2 hours, fueled by coffee and some podcasts.
Safety matters: Resin dust is no joke—wear an N95 mask when sanding and safety glasses when clipping sprues. Work in a ventilated area, and keep a wet rag for quick cleanups. I organize tools in a divided tray to avoid grabbing the wrong cutter mid-flow.
For painting, a zenithal prime (black base, white topcoat) sets you up for easy shading. I’m planning a non-metallic metal scheme!
Why the War Rig is a Must for Your Collection
After unboxing, assembling, and playtesting, the Warcrow War Rig scores a 9/10. The Unicool parts make it a hobbyist’s dream, and its tabletop presence is unmatched. Whether you’re building a Hegemony of Embersig force or want a showstopper, this is it.
