Hi,

Just received my copy but noticed a few figures leaning one way or the other...

Anyone know any tips to straightening out the figures so I can paint them?

Game looks excellent quality barring this small problem...

Thanks,

heat them slightly with a hairdryer.

Will they return warped after a short period or stay in that shape?

Dive them into hot water, then into cold one, It should work.

thanks...the hot/cold water worked a treat...

They went back to the warped stage after 12 hours after the hot/cold water...thanks anyway...

will try the hair dryer...

 I got my game today and like you some figures are distorted, did the hairdryer work ???

I just dipped my in hot water.

Tea pot on the stove. Dip, flex, dip in ice water. May need to repeat 2 - 4 times depending on how severe the plastic has been deformed.

 bloody shocking that this is the case, ive a good mind to ask for replacments, in fact I will.

I had done the hot and cold as per the norm with most bent pieces. However there are a couple that are being stubborn as hell and going back to their warped state. It is just the bases but man they just won't stay flat. I thought maybe after I soften them up I will put them in coloured gang bases and then dunk them in the cold and see this that helps. Even found my Duke fig I ordered had a bit of a bend in his base and sword was bent.

Tried the the hot and cold water trick on most of the figures.

They retained the corrected shape for a day then when I started painting them and noticed a few slyly starting to bend back over the past few days.

Sneaky bastards. Still what can you expect from a bunch of  thieves.

FFG could look at the way they are being packed to reduce the amount of distortion on the figures.

Yeah I am sure the next print run might get some better care shown to them. I wonder if the pre-painted sets had any bend to them?

I had the same problem, 14 of the figures were warped, either leaning forward at near 45 degree angles, or the bases were distorted.  One of the figures, the base was so warped it had those white bent marks in it.  Im going to have to get a replacement for that one, but I think I'll try the warm/hot water treatment before I complain.  It just seems weird that theyd just jam as many figures as they can into tiny bags....of course they're going to get bent like that.

Ugh, and I was so excited to get it today too....

My figs keep going back to the bent state i got em in after a while. Done the hot and cold water thing 3 times now.

Reading that people got distored pre-paints  makes me question if its worth buying them. Dont really understand how the pre-paints can bend when they come in a box which looks very well protected. Makes me wonder if they were bent when they started painting em.

Hi, in my case, the original figures were a bit distorted and had trouble staying on the bases. The prepainted figures however were much better and had hardly any distortion at all. I used a blob of bluetac to keep them on the bases and after they are pushed int the look great. I also have the Duke and he is not distorted at all. Personally, I am very happy with the prepainted minitures. I have spent many hours painting all my Talisman minitures and the ones for Drakon and I only wish that FFG provided more prepaints!

This sort of thing happened to the Confrontation & AT-43 prepainted figures too where you occassionally find bent or damaged figures in the protective plastics cases. This could have happened during manufacture or packing at the factory.
