I do find it weird that some kits, like the marauder, come with all the bits and some, like the lord, have specific choices.

You are invited to visit the forums of their web. Althougt it's a spanish company, people speaks in english. One of the threads is a poll about a question: Do you guys prefair taking al the options in one blister, with a little price increase (about 1 buck) or would you like better to keep choosing the props and remain a bit cheaper? All the votes went to having all the props in the blister. I think this Marauder is the first mini that followed that decission. A democratic company? WOW! xD So, a little timeline:

1- first minis, without options for equipment.
2- they grow up a little, and are able to make different option now, for customers choice.
3- keep growing, and ask the people how do they feel about the bits (seeing converted minis). People votes for having all the options.
4- ???
5- Profit! Everyone wins.


Before this marauder, I think that the difference between some models sold with or without all the equipment came for sprue (and money) reasons. But if people doesn't matter paying half or one dollar more... problem solved.

This is great news, I hope they retcon the other figures to include all options as time goes on. It's great to see a company take on board feedback like that.
With these guys willing to put things like that out to poll and PP fully endorsing Vassel it goes to show how progressive and open some companies can be and further demonstrates how far from their client base's expectations GW have drifted.

I've visited their site before, but I don't think there were quite as many choices as are available now. I love how detailed each model is. While I don't play Fantasy, these models would make beautiful alternatives for my Talisman set.

Me gusta! My FLGS just started carrying Avatars of War, and they really are something to see in person too. The topless dark elf sorcerer chick found herself a nice place in my palm when I was down there the other day, but despite riding around the store with me for a while I sadly had to put her back on the rack Will have to see if I can shoehorn her into my ogre army ...

There's so many places we could go with that quote...

Anyway, I've got a few of their miniatures already (Love the Chaos Dwarf!) and I'll definitely be picking up the Marauder Champion as well!
