I'm surprised, that's the first AoW model I've seen that I give a solid pass on. I am not digging the face, and the leg seems a bit odd. Meanwhile, the Warriors of Apoc look awesome!

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. ADB |

Yeah, it's not great. Vampire fangs, weird 80's hair, incredibly badly-sculpted chainmail on the loincloth

I think the over-large knee armour makes the model appear much shorter! Until someone mentioned it was hair, my first impression was that it was a chainmail coif!

Yeah, he's something of a disappointment compared with their other Lords of not-Chaos. The warriors are still fabulous, however.

...are crap. Forgot the end of your sentence. And PLEASE can people who like Mantic zombies stop insisting that no other zombies are needed EVER because Mantic made some?
Seriously, they are awful, for different reasons than GW, but but no less awful.

The deltoid is too wide IMO, but it's apparently an early WIP. Otherwise, a very nice model.

Pretty awful, IMO. The torso is practically triangular and the club tail is whipping around like it was nothing.

The lizard looks pretty realistic to me.
I would think a creature bred for war and conflict would be at least as big as someone who lives in our world and works out a lot.
I kinda like the Chaos guy bit he's too similar to the other one to warrant a purchase.
Cannot wait for my big box of Chaos Warriors to get here!!!!!

For those that ordered the Warriors of Apoc. product and are wondering where your models are... Apparently they got flooded with orders. They sold out of the first months' production in about 4 days. Calculate your ship date here.

Wow, 1700 boxes are in the queue!! (You can just click on the calculate shipping date button to see). So orders today are projected to ship late April.
That's not bad, though, all things considered! This is fantastic because hopefully this and other companies see this and realize the HUGE demand for actual plastic/resin units, rather than one-off characters.

The Regiment looks outstanding and I really like the look of that lizard too.
I look forward to seeing more of these big boxes of minis, we need less speacial characters and more massive units to chose from in my opinion

I'm not surprised - plastic increases your manufacturing capacity, but restic doesn't.

Hopefully they'll increase their capacity (i.e. get another machine or the like) and what's more, make further regiments, since this one seems to be such a hit!

Maybe it wasnt too intentional, but I can see a dual purpose for him. He does not look out of place in a Tzeentch army
Although I must admit thats probably the first model I've seen with tentacles for a face

Looks like they correctly predicted that their current capacity is such that selling the WarCast models via third-party retailers would not be feasible.

The supply does not get to make the demands. |

I know they won't ever do this, but I'd love for them to do what Raging Heroes does (it is Raging Heroes right?) and do Sci-Fi versions of some of their models.

Sorry Aggy it's just that there's no cutting barb in that post of yours. Did you hit post before you had the chance to call AoW a parasite company, or perhaps belittle those that like their models? I need to know!!!
