My FLGS actually stocks some AoW. When they finish the indiegogo dwarfs, I'll likely ask the store to place my order, rather than trying to order direct myself. I assume they're getting their stock from a distributor or somesuch...

Good work Felix. Drastic improvement over Dwarf scale. Proper bigger noses, love it.

Hmm looks like theres going to be a new range of figures called the Dragonbloods
whether or not these are intended to be "not lizardmen" is up for debate I suppose, depends on how optional the wings are
The Dragonbloods are a race of dragon men of Saga. The race consists of the different lineages of the now very few in number dragons of Saga. Different lineages will differ in size and color, some will be able to fly and others will only be able to take long jumps, some are more inteligent than others. Different lineages will have different types of breath. Depends on the type of dragon that gives rise to the lineage. We have not yet begun to develop the miniatures for this army but you can already see how this new race will look
also theres a 360 video on their warriors of apocalypse

Interesting art... but what I'm really interested in is their finishing all the sculpts funded by their Indiegogo campaign, and supposedly to be released in January.
That's obviously not looking good for all the sculpts... but I'm hoping they'll have at least Some more of them done in that timeframe.
I'd love to put together an all AoW dwarf army next year... it just depends on if they'll let me

Maybe we see a Lizardmen kickstarter in January Maybe it allows him to finally produce and stock the products he planned to make before the Dwarf Kickstarter, the Hordes of Apocalypse (3 of 5 units out of stock)
In other words, I fear that he again lost interest in a current project and tries to get along with insufficient production capacities. And the Dwarf indiegogo project doesn't seem to have changed anything. A lack of communication from his side doesn't help.

I like his sculpts but keep hearing about how dodgy a company AoW is in that he never seems to ship or stock anything. A bit odd that he continues to produce models that he never seems to be able to actually get into the hands of consumers....
They'll definitely get my money if they ever work out their supply issues.

I think it's cool that they're going in their own direction as opposed to keep making warhammer stand ins. The Dragon men (?) look fantastic! I particularly love the bowmen.
Wow the lord of pestilence looks reallllly crude proportion wise, its like the 80's chaos warriors... Not a fan and IMO these do look a step backwards... even if just WIP.

Yeah I was referring to chaos stuff, the dwarf is very nice.
The kneeling dwarf is awesome. I hope that they can pick up the pace and quality. They should try to honour their IGG campaign backers better and focus on finishing all the dwarves rather than pushing their Chaos stuff.
I really don't have a problem with AOW expanding their Chaos range, from what i understand they're using a different sculptor (Sergio.) for the Chaos models while Felix is focusing on the IGG Dwarves.
At this point i just want AOW to be direct with us the backers, because they're coming dangerously close to the final expected release date of January 2013 and yet they've only produced a fraction of what was supposed to be completed by this time.
What they need to do is release a proper Official announcement via IndieGoGo that the campaign is behind schedule, because the longer they wait to admit they've experienced problems the worse the negative reception will be.
