Steamforged Games Dark Souls The Board Game: Gaping Dragon Expansion

I bought this last year and if I'd paid attention and gave it an inspection I'd of sent it back for a replacement or got a refund. I didn't as I have many Steamforged products but this should not have passed quality control. Nothing fits and as you can see the seams and gaps in the maw are beyond fixable as they don't line up... I have most of the collection of Dark Souls and this is most upsetting

The boss model in the gaping dragon expansion, as some models in other expanions must first be assembled. In my current experience (owning all up to date expansions, it has the most peices to assemble for a single mega boss model. However, the peices are so ill fitting it is simply impossible to attach each peice. I found that while the arms and tail of this model fit well enough, the four wings do not; not even a little. I spent some time trying to get the wings in. I managed to get the top two wings planted, though the cut of the shapes was terrible and didn't sit in the slots properly, thus, fall out on their own. In all fairness, the mexhanics this expansion brings is fun and refreshing, but the model is just awful to contened with in terms of assembly. Hardly worth the money I paid for it and I am most upset about it. I shall think twice before buying another model with multiple parts. Its such a shame that I wouldn't be able to play the game with the model in its full glory.

While the Miniature of this Expansion looks pretty nice once assembled and is massive in scale compared to other miniatures in the game, it was certainly difficult to put together even with the classic hot water trick and some minor shaving of the limbs. There are 8 pieces (body, 4 wings, 2 arms and 1 Tail) and none of the limbs fit quite right to the body. The huge number of small details as well as various seams on the miniature, this will not be easy to paint even with Green stuff, and is even leaving me reconsidering painting my Dark Souls Miniatures as a result. However, the expansion was at least fun to play and the Mega Boss Expansions certainly switch up the game, though their pricetag is certainly not cheap and they are difficult to find in high quantities.

Yes the wings and arms had to be put in hot water to soften them to fit. Other than that thought they fit perfectly now. Such a large and detailed model for only $40 is a great addition to the core set. Had a fun afternoon painting this guy!

Excellente qualité ! Je recommande si vous êtes un vrai fan de Dark Souls et amateur de peinture figurine ;) ! Correspond tout à fait à mes attentes, packaging super réussi, carte de jeu de très bonne qualité. Boss vraiment Badass sur le plateau de jeu avec ses 46 PV et son pouvoir de corrosion, les parties s'annoncent vraiment titanesque !

Great addition to the game, the design of the model is the only low point as it requires cutting down the connections to fit the pieces together. Otherwise a great expansion and the content adds enough to make the game feel fresh.
