It’s lastly right here and we received to take a crack at it early. The Hekaton Land Fortress is a formidable Leagues of Votann Kit!
When we first received the codex for the Leagues of Votann I flipped by way of to search out any new automobiles that hadn’t been revealed. That’s after I first noticed the Hekaton Land Fortress and it was the unit I used to be most trying ahead to seeing in individual. Well, I received to unbox and construct one and it’s simply as spectacular as I believed it was going to be.
Unboxing The Hekaton Land Fortress
The equipment itself is made up of three completely different sprues and yet one more clear plastic sprue for the cover for a complete of 4 sprues. It’s a giant, chonky equipment. It’s on par with the dimensions of a Land Raider or Repulsor for positive. I doesn’t include a base both so the Hekaton Land Fortress actually is free wheeling.
There are a LOT of bits on this unhealthy boy. You’ll have a ton of various weapon choices to select from so you actually can equipment it out nevertheless you need it (inside it’s Datasheet limits after all). I actually preferred how the ball turrets can transfer — so long as you’re tremendous cautious together with your glue. I managed to jam 2 of them and the opposite 2 nonetheless transfer. Lesson discovered.
I additionally actually preferred how effectively every thing went collectively. Many of the cuts and seams are lined up so you have got a extremely neat and clear automobile whenever you’re carried out. I additionally didn’t absolutely glue down all of the clear cover sections as a result of I didn’t begin to paint this monster of a truck but.
All of my commonplace recommendations on constructing kits apply on this one with the added tip of actually take your time clipping and (most significantly) cleansing off all of the clipping nubs. Everything matches collectively extraordinarily effectively IF you do an excellent job cleansing the clipped bits up.
The trickiest a part of the construct have been the ball turrets on the facet of the Hekaton Land Fortress. Those have been those I managed to jam-up with glue. I’m not fairly positive how one can forestall that sooner or later apart from possibly swapping to tremendous glue and solely making use of to the skin of the “ring” and letting that set.

At least with tremendous glue (as a substitute of plastic glue) you’ll be able to “break” any extra glue off and the turret can nonetheless spin. Thankfully, these bits can go on fairly late within the course of so you’ll be able to take your time with it.
