I picked up a squad of Valkir Assault Troopers and very pleased with them. Can't emphasise how well designed or good they look. Little bling, or BS details, just good aesthetics all the way. I'm regretting the 40 or so GW marines I've built, had these Valkir guys been available at the time, I would emptied my wallet on them. I hope Dreamforge release more similar figures in the future.

My only criticism with the Valkir is lack of diversity of parts i.e. there is only 1 torso type, 3 head types, etc. Which isn't an issue for me personally, but if you're used to getting spoiled with 5-10 variants of parts from GW, this is something to be aware of.

As someone going by yorknecromancer shows, there's an ample number of 3rd party options for heads (picture hosted on BoLS):



I particularly like how well the chunky GW weapons still (mostly) fit in. Fairly good Soroitas conversion IMO, though I'd still prefer a GW kit for them.

The leviathans are a great height to work as the forgeworld cerastus knights, although they're definitely bulkier.

That head swap is awesome!

What happened with Wargames Factory? I see Mark has some of their non Dfg kits on hid site now....I had assumed they were close as ever?

I heard they stopped making and selling their own kits and sold off their lines to Warlord and Dreamforge.

I think they still work as a manufacturer, just not developing kits.

That's why their survivor and zombie lines are now with Warlord.

It also meant that DF is now distributing their kits directly.

I got quite a bit of dreamforge stuff, have pretty much replaced all of my guard with them. Good quality and good price point. It's a bit sad that all of the discount sellers are out of practically everything (except for some leviathan stuff). Wanted to get more of the assault troops, but it's hard to justify $26 w/ shipping for 5 models. Wanted to make a black templar force with them. Here's to hoping something becomes of this line and it doesn't just fade away.

I love Dreamforge's stuff, will definitely support them if they decide to / are able to put out new things in the future!

They run sales all the time.. Often cheaper than most discount sites. I really don't understand how you're going to build a BT army out of 5 models (unless they are Leviathans..). Even still.. Ebay has tons of their stuff.


RE That Leviathan conversion.. That's what I want to do with mine.. is there a guide on how that person did it? As fantastic as the 28mm Leviathan is, the proportions of the head and weapons are largely why my kit is just sitting there at the moment.

Eh, not the whole army, just more for flavor. Last couple of discounts didn't really have them marked down (unless I wasn't looking correctly), and ebay is even more pricey than the main store.

Hhmm, Nova-Cannon, yum! figure is on 32mm base

At some point, I probably should buy the Mauler Claws.

Assuming I continue to play Apocalypse-type 40k...

Huge sale on DFG stuff on their website it seems. Leviathan Crusader rrp 126, selling for 45.

Would love some Dreamforge stuff but the postage is a killer.

That was me! I may have a few pics up in my own modelling blog, but most of it was from the Crusader kit. I chopped the front off the gun arm, mounted the Crusader's shield to the front, and put the vulcan megabolters from the stormbolter kit into two of the housings for the same gun, sandwiched together.

The round piece around the Knight head and cowl is actually a heavily cut up and sanded piece of the Leviathan's thigh armor, with magnets to hold the head in. The power pack is the optional Leviathan backpack kit, and and I glued a Knight Aquila to the top.

I'v been wanting to whip up a more elegant adapter piece in CAD that would fit the Leviathan and the Knight head pieces more neatly and blend the aesthetics better, but I haven't yet.

The Leviathan kit is stellar though, everything fit very neatly together, the poseability is incredible, and overall from a technical standpoint it's really solid.

Thanks for the heads up on the sale. I grabbed a couple of the Stormtrooper Accessory packs for cheap. Shipping is a bit steep, but I can live with it.

Wow, shipping a leviathan to the UK is significantly more expensive than the leviathan itself. I'm strongly regretting not buying one when wayland had a flash sale and were selling the 28mm ones for about £30

Yep, you need to buy from 3rd party sellers in Europe or the postage cost is insane. Otherwise the kits are impresive. I bought a Val'kyr box 20 troopers so I could have 20 helmets for my stormcast (Plus the 20 normal ones for the proper Valkir) and they are super-b models.

This was a really nice sale, check it out.

I almost picked up some Wargames Factory Russians but the shipping was pretty expensive even stateside and turned the great deal into a mediocre deal.

With the ability to take GK Grandmasters in Dreadknight "suits", I do suddenly have a need for more 15mm Crusader levis.

A while back I made a Dreadknight that used the Torso of a 15mm Leviathan with Dreadknight arms and legs with the Terminator mounted in the spot where the Leviathan's head goes. Looks really good, no more baby carrier.

I'd like to do that again, but with the Psycannon and Incinerator made into giant pistols being duel-wielded by the Dreadknight suit.

I also use Dreamforge for Dreadknights. But I guess the War games split means we'll never get three Nova cannon arm in 15mm.

um.... I have a 15mm nova cannon arm. I'm holding it in my hands right now.

Yeah, I have a few 15mm Nova Cannons, myself.

So erm.... any actual updates?

Please link a place to purchase. Its not even on his site. Did you all back the KS?

I think he takes stuff off his site when it sells out. Are the panzerjagers still gone?

A quick googling has turned up results on eBay. Wayland also seems to have it in stock.

Nope. Wayland doesn't. Combat Company?

There are some new posts up on the Dreamforge Games blog. If anyone is curious what has been going on with them, here's the latest: http://dreamforge-games.blogspot.com/2018/02/the-state-of-dfg-as-business.html

That was some interesting reading. I hope everything turns out alright in the end for Mark.
