I have to say that they seem to be putting on their own spin (for better or worse) on some fantasy wargaming tropes of they're coming out with sea orcs.

Nice looking, and these guys are really drawing me back towards the game. I felt really burnt(no pun intended) by buying a bunch of Dwegholm and being let down by their casts.

Has anyone else ever been curious about the company (Para Bellum) behind this game? I only first heard about them last year and they have a ton of models both resin and plastic for such a relatively young company (the earliest reference I found with a very brief search is 2017 when their Twitter was started). Usually you see such a big and fleshed out new IP from an established company though it's not unheard of admittedly (like Dust). You always hear first hand accounts about how expensive it is to launch products which is why crowd funding is so popular with regard to start up costs. No conspiracies here but I was genuinely curious if there was a rich (from another industry of course) gamer funding this as a business hobby or what and checked them out.

https://eshop.para-bellum.com/content/4-about-us

We have come a long way, since then. Today, Para Bellum Wargames Ltd is a game developer, headquartered in Cyprus with offices in Greece and the USA and are part of substantial conglomerate with interests in shipping, real estate, agriculture and technology. We operate on a global basis and are led by a seasoned team of gaming professionals with deep industry know-how, who draw on the extensive corporate, legal and financial resources of our wider group.


I think that's nifty! We as gamers get a ton of new product and the company doesn't have to worry about closing it's door suddenly after a bad year or two (like Spartan did... Halo rip.).

There's no conspiracy, injection modling is just two orders of magnitude less expensive than what the industry claims. Okay, that sounded contradictory. I mean to say there's no need for a rich shadowbacker. Para Bellum is just banking on growing a massive customer base selling at a small margin rather than fleecing us like most do.

Just in case you missed it, I literally said there are "no conspiracies here". As for a rich shadow backer, they said they rely on the financial backing of the wider corporate group. I'm totally ok with other industries subsidizing start up costs in the gaming industry.

I've really been enjoying the newer plastic kits.

There's definitely been an uptick in the quality and sharpness of the new models getting released.

Poorly lit photos of my ever- growing collection of completely unrelated models!

PB did say that on a long term, when all lists have their models, they would look into adding new units and resculpting some older models.
I'm ok with early designs but the updated plastic would be nice for quality.

Fwiw, your videos highlighting the various factions' models were what introduced me to the surprising variety in such a relatively new product line.

Likewise, some of the more recent spires minis and the previewed stuff looks fantastic. Then I look at the core minis for the faction that I'm more or less obligated to take if I want to play the army and I say "nah".

I still maintain that the abomination looks like a bargain bin plastic toy. It's plastic rat ogre level. Slap it next to something PB put out this year and it isn't even recognizable as the same company because the improvement is so dramatic.

As someone close to the comany, I can tell you that the founders of PB have been lifelong friends. They have always shared a love for wargaming and roleplay. Whilst there rofessional lives lead them to biuld bisnesses in global shipping, logistics and manufactre. They already had a conglomerate of buisnesses before Stavros dragged them into a room and made the first steps in haing a lifelong dream a reality. For them, they already have sccessful bisnesses. Conquest is litterally their baby, hobby and passion.

The perfect storm is how Koni described it.

They were there long before PBW so not the same as some risky investments made by Target. Stavros family runs it, and one day his brother told him something like that ''why not pursue what you really enjoy'', and the PBW idea started with it.
