This is specifically a kit for War, not the other Horsemen. There is concept art for the other Warriors, but they're not part of this kit.

There are no decent plastic zombies on the market, which is appalling since they're the most numerous undead.

Amen and second to that!


Motion passed? I'd love someone to do decent, scaled (and I mean proportional), multipose zombies. I really, really, really want to do zombie gaming, but the lack of plastic options (and I bought a box of mantic, and they don't cut it) makes me sad.

I dig how in a setting where giant, muscled fungus men ride Mad Max cars and use their own teeth as currency, the concept of little engineering dudes with beards was considered a step too far down the aisle of silliness.

Looking great! I love how you're providing all 4 different weapon options for the unit, that's awesome, even GW doesn't do that, you have to buy really expensive metal bitz packs if you want halberds or great weapons on the GW models.

And yeah, it's spelt "customise", you had it right the first time.

"Customize" is the butchered-up American way to spell the word.

Considering the original spelling was "sutomize" I don't thing you have a leg to stand on.

$2.50 per awesomely individual dynamic Warrior as opposed to $2.90 per for static same-old sounds pretty sweet!

Like the overall look, though the gap in the market is for axe type polearm armed ones . Will there be any more plastic kits with a load of spare parts at all again in the future or just the plastic/resin mix?
Oh and for us lazy just awake people, how much are they in GBP?

Gaelion has said they'll still be making proper plastic kits, although AoW's aren't really of the "loads of spare parts" variety. Here's hoping the next one will be the elves.

Oh and for us lazy just awake people, how much are they in GBP?

It's approximately 31 pounds. But once Maelstrom gets their hands on them I'd expect something closer to 23 pounds, if you wait for a -17.5% sale.

If I had the money then I wouldn't bother waiting for that, but my wallet says wait. Well, at least if they recast the old characters in warcast I can pick them up again for converting (chaos lord especially) and hopefully help them to their aim for greater production quantities in the long run. Any plastic kits would be welcomed at the price of the beserkers box set with the high quality sculpts they put out.

At the moment.

Gaelion wrote:At the moment, as manufacturing is taken in-house here at AoW and we've done the "minimum" setup (only one new plastic-resin casting machine), War-cast products will be available at the AoW online shop only, once we see how it is received, if it sells well enough in the future we'll invest to increase our plastic-resin production and sell it to retailers and distributors together with metal and plastic regiments.

I'd be very interested in knowing how quickly Felix plans to turn around the other Apocs troops.

Is it the flavour of the moment and he'll see all 4 apocs through to completion before moving onto something else?

If he released bitz/ a complete set of the pestilence apoc that looks anything remotely like that drawing I will kneel before the AoW throne and sell my soul.
