All those drunken ponies need is a good hot bath. Here's the page with the detailed instructions . And here's that same page en français . A pain in the arse I know, but it will straighten them out.
I think those pages will be gone in a about a week or so though. Here's the text without the pictures:
Vous avez des figurines de cavalerie lourde tordues ? Voici une solution simple pour les redresser.
Certains joueurs ont signalé avoir trouvé dans leur boite des figurines tordues. Sans doute ont-elles trop souffert de la pression et de l’étroitesse de l’emballage. Cela arrive manifestement à quelques figurines de Cavalerie Lourde, dont les chevaux ont des pattes plus fragiles que les autres.
Faites bouillir de l’eau - Dans votre cuisine, faites bouillir un peu d’eau dans une casserole. Si vous êtes trop jeune, demandez la permission ou leur aide à vos parents.
Versez l’eau chaude dans un réceipient large. Munissez-vous d’une grande cuillère et d’une verre d’eau fraîche. Voilà comment les choses se présentent avant l’action :
Plongez les figurines dans l’eau chaude. Attendez 1 minute qu’elles se réchauffent.
À l’aide de la cuillère, sortez une figurine de l’eau chaude. Puis, à la main, redressez-la. Normallement, la figurine ne devrait pas être trop chaude, et vous devriez pouvoir la tenir sans vous brûler. Si elle est trop chaude, attendez un peu avant de la saisir. Comme le plastique est chaud, il va se laisser plier dans la bonne direction.
Plongez la figurine dans l’eau froide. Si votre eau est bien froide, la figurine se refroidira très rapidement et gardera sa position. Laissez-la refroidir deux minutes. Pour un résultat optimal, vous pouvez même avoir mis au préalable un glaçon dans votre verre.
Retirez la figurine : voilà le travail ! Vous pouvez essuyer la figurine à l’aide d’un sopalin, et la laisser sécher à l’air.
Et la même in English:
Fixing bent figures
Some of your Heavy Cavalry are bent? Here is a simple procedure to fix them.
A few players reported that some of their figures were bent because they had been under too much pressure inside the packaging. This is generally the case with Heavy Cavalry figures, which have more fragile horse feet than the others.
Boil some water - In your kitchen, boil some water (if you are young, ask your parents’ permission or ask them to help you).
Pour the hot water in a large cup. Get a spoon and also a glass of cold water. Here is how things look like before the action:
Drop the figures in the hot water. Wait for 1 minute so they warm up.
Using the spoon, take one figure out of the hot water. Then using your fingers, put it back straight. Normally, the figure should not be too hot, and you should be able to hold it without burning yourself. If it is too hot, wait a little bit. Since the plastic is warm, it will allow itself to be bent back in the correct position.
Drop the figure in the cold water. If your water is nice cold, the figure will cool down quickly and retain its new position. Let it cool down for a couple of minutes. For best results, you might even have an ice cube in your glass.
Retrieve the figure and let it dry, voilà! You can use some paper tissue to remove the water, so it will dry faster.
Merci beaucoup!
Very much appreciate the info!
Im in the USA. -same problem- Battlelore is hard to find,
