THAT would be awesome!

Is the "Ravening Hordes" list for CD's still "legal"?

AoW "Chaos Dwarf Lord" is an AWESOME figure - and even if the RH list is no longer street legal, a 'counts as' WoC Chaos Dwarf army would be great, with the right models!

AoW beating GW to the punch for plastic dwarf "berzerkers"?! Way to go!

They are also competing with Mantic.

Their Berserkers are metal and I believe yet to be released.

@Alpharius.
They slowly slipped into obscurity but never had an outright 'illegal' stamp. So take from that what you will.

Several tournies are still using the dwarfs of chaos list (which has just been updated for 8th ed by the way).

The mantic ones are going to fit in fine with their own range (as they were designed to be), but will not fit in well with the 'GW look', as the AoW ones clearly are.

As I understand it, Avatars of War is a gladatorial game (hence "Arena Deathmatch"). Are they expanding into a full-blown war game/skirmish game, or is this to spice up the arena fighting?

Peope were demanding troops for those awesome AoW heroes, and Mantic proved that there is a market for plastic alternative troops. Guess some rules will follow.
He could always ask Rick, Alessio or Andy to do it, right?

Actually, I seem to remember from the first discussion of these guys that Arena Deathmatch will be staying at the same size. AoW understands that their own system is probably the secondary use for their models, and the plastics are simply cashing on this - no rules for these guys, just figures that just so happen to resemble stuff from that other well known wargame.

Wow... those guys continue to impress.

Can't wait to see what the rest of the plastics will look like, although I'm still holding out for a "Knight" type hero from them.

Let's not forget the new Indy GT legal fan-made Chaos Dwarf army book.

Which happens to be called the Dwarfs of chaos list

Can they also maybe make some sexy "Light elf" Spearmen and archers?

Sans monkey hands?

Because 'ax' is the American spelling, and 'axe' is the real spelling, and Google Chrome is an American program.

Im going to have to go with NO on that. I did 100% of my education in the USA and never once was I told to spell axe without the "e".

Hmm idk. ax seems like its missing something. I prefer axe but I tend to forget sometimes

Like Gray and Grey

Very nice stuff from AoW. The info in the video was alos great, lots of possiblities to cusomize your beserkers/slayers.

Can't wait untill tehy are released.

Keep up the great work Felix

I'm going to get 3 boxes I think, 2 for slayers and 1 to use as skaven slaves.

As long as they have big hats.

Or masks and a top that enabled a hat to be put on, like the mohawks.

Same here - it has always been "axe" to me too!

Sorry to dwell off topic a moment longer, but spelling ax sans e isn't necessarily American afaik.

But likewise will continue to be careful Eugene

In regards to the vid, its too slow. For future vids on your products you may want to edit out the parts that are of no use, like when you add arms, heads etc. Even if its just a flash of pictures showing all the various parts.

Great mini's by the way.

Update ! Plastic Dwarven Berserkers preview (standard bearer)

This is a montage we have made using the different bits for the banner.
All bits (except the pole with the berserker ancestor statue ) are optional, they can be used or not when putting together the banner.

We've tried to make it as customizable as possible.



I really hope you like it!

Smylo
Avatars of War

Wow, nice.

Seeing those makes me want to start dwarves and run lots of slayers.

The price sounds right too.
