{"product_id":"iron-lords-build-kit","title":"Iron Lords (build kit)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis WarpLand miniature kit puts the iron-fisted warlords of The Grunge directly in your hands. The Iron Lords are the most feared slavers in the shattered wastes, heavily armoured brutes who rule their bogland domain with cruelty and fire, crushing the weak beneath hobnailed boots and dragging survivors back to their smoke-blackened fortresses. Now you can field them in force, built exactly as your warband demands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Iron Lords build kit contains 33 unique resin parts, giving you everything you need to assemble five distinct 32mm scale warriors. Choose from 5 interchangeable heads, including open-faced helms with horns, spiked visored buckets, and the weathered snarl of a veteran lord,then pair them with 5 armoured bodies clad in layered plate and studded leather skirts. Twenty-three hands and weapons complete the kit: round shields embossed with skull motifs, broad swords, and a variety of gripping arms in aggressive and guarded stances. Every combination produces a fighter that looks like he has survived the Grunge's endless feuds and come out meaner for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause no two Iron Lords ever rose to power the same way, no two models need look alike. Mix charging poses with shield-braced stances, swap horned helms for spike-crested ones, vary shield arms between ranks. The result is a warband that feels lived-in and brutal rather than uniformly stamped out. Suitable for tabletop RPG play, skirmish wargames, and display painting alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParts are cast in high-detail grey resin. Minor cleaning of mould lines and light sanding of contact points is recommended before assembly. Supplied unassembled and unpainted. Bases included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePainting Guide: Iron Lords (build kit)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Iron Lords look their best when painted to suggest years of campaign grime, rust creeping at the edges of once-proud iron, and the dark mud of The Grunge caked into every crevice. This WarpLand miniature rewards a patient layered approach more than speed-painting methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.
