AoW Cabinet: Corrupters preview.

I hadn't seen the corrupters before... Not totally sure about them, need more pics...

"Preorder now! Get them 2015! Or 2016! Or if we do another kickstarter maybe 2018!"

Are they ready yet with filling all Chaos Warrior orders? I guess not.

Kroot, did they kick your dog or something? Just kidding.

The reports of shady dealings from AoW is what keeps me from throwing money at them because the models look great; there's just no point when I keep hearing that they don't actually get the product to people they take money from...

What was the issue with people getting their stuff? Was it resolved?

they have a backlog of about a year on their warriors of apoc (**extremely** nice) not-chaos-warriors models.

it's a crying shame; AoW produces fantastic hero models (which you will actually receive within a month of ordering, too!) and stunning regiments - now if only they actually had the production capabilities to handle the amount of orders they'd be huge in no time.
funny enough, he got ~$40K from his indiegogo campaign and quite certainly that several times again from warriors of apoc orders, so I don't understand how he could *not* have the money to create just a little more production capability...

No, that's Mantic

Avatars of War took money in February for producing Warriors of Chaos(Apoc), and AFAIK not all customers got theirs yet.
Avatars of War took money end of June to produce a Dwarf army.
Now Avatars of War shows us the Harpies and Chaos troops that they are working on. Maybe they should rather produce all the things that customers already paid for several months ago.
That's the point I was trying to make.

Not that these are warhammer themed in any way of course... But are these supposed to be nurglish?

TBH I think Felix could have done a much better job on them.

I'm still waiting on some Apoc warriors I ordered back in May, didn't realize they were on such a crazy backlog. I've sent them a few emails but never gotten anything returned.

Yes. He's using the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse as a basis - Khorne for War, Tzeentch for Death, Slaanesh for Torment and Nurgle for Pestilence.

Is it me or those previews look bad?

Yeah, we need better pics...

I am very curious for his dwarfs from the Kickstarter, but I agree he really should finish those first... but perhaps he had already sculpted these, you know!

Looking at the bottom of the pic I presume that says they are sculpted by Sergio Lafuente? Whoever that is.

I'm not sure about that font. I keep seeing Warth Bone.

I agree with all the above posts asking for better pictures, at they moment they look pretty rough. Not a big fan of the ludicrously large cricket bat the leader is holding either...

I finally received my Warriors of Apoc boxset in the post today, i placed my order on the 24th of February a few days before the pre-order cutoff date. so at this point AoW must be pretty close to having all of the initial pre-orders sent out.

The quality of the models is simply amazing, but no matter how good the models are having people wait up to 6 months for their orders to be cast up and posted is just too long. AoW desperately need to increase their production capabilities of Warcast, especially since alot of their future releases are going to be made out of it.

I will admit I love the AoW models. I can even stomach the price they chare in the UK for them as they are imported from abroad then have a stupid amount of tax put on them by the British government to line their own pockets. When I saw the dwarf kickstaer I would have danced for joy if I was not semi crippled with pain.

But yeah, better pictures and actually getting out what has been paid for is starting to have me look away from AoW and not want to shout "shut up and take my money" at them. It is good to be working on new stuff, but if there are no customers left who will buy it because you won't give them what they paid for, what is the point?

Shouldn't there be 0 tax if it comes from within the EEC?

I assume no matter what we get VAT added onto it. Kinda sucks, plus transportation costs added into it. Yet no one mentions AoW prices when they do GW prices for the character models...

I'm more interested in finding out when we backers of the kcikstarter might expect our standard bearer. Though I hold no hope it'll be before this time next year if at all. At least it was only $15....

Yeah, it would be clearer if the upper arm on the 'T' sat above the x height. Still, as unclear typography goes it's not a patch on Ragin' She-Boys.

I'm with you, they really don;t like the typical excellenyt scuplts from AoW i'm used to seeing and expecting.

They strike me as a little half assed, so far. I'm hoping better pics prove me wrong.

Just found my Grave Guard

Still not a single update on the Dwarfs. I'm glad I only went in for $30...

those harpies.....oh god ;_;

AoW your better than that, really

nice not-nurgle warriors though ^^

Well they did release this image of the iron shield dwarves a month ago, but for some some reason they only posted it on their own forums and their Facebook page. I think its pretty lazy of them to not even bother uploading it to the IGG page, i mean these people did help fund the kit after all...

They really should spread that image around - they look great!

Now, if only WFB 8th was actually worth playing...

I'm sure they'd work fine in Kings of War too

Harpies 15,50€ for 5

VAT is applied to everything, import or not, so I'm not sure what the point of that outburst really was. Oh, and UK VAT is actually lower than Spain's.

Here the link and the sprue pics:
