Review - Plague Teraton for Warpath from Mantic Games

Pieces: 1x body, 1x head, 1x right arm, 1x left arm, 1x tail, 1x codpiece, 1x shoulder armour

The pieces have pegs to help gluing them together.

The Plague Teraton is bigger than the original Teraton soldier. The legs are the same in size, but the upper body of the model is bulkier. The sculptor probably used the original model as the base for the sculpt, as some parts of the original remained the same. Even parts of the backpack can be seen under the bony plates on its back.
