Love the thunder warriors!

Must. Resist. Urge. To build. Mordheim. Dwarf. Warband....hnnnnngggg.

Seriously though, I can't even look at most of GW's dwarf minis anymore, AoW's offerings make them look comical.

Yeah, that pic rocks. But are the gunners even available yet?

Is Wayne England doing their goblin designs?

Why yes, AoW, I DID want to build a Dwarf army.

Dammit, I'll never get my Empire done at this rate...

Oooh thats interesting that they're going back to normal plastic

They really need to go back to making their beserkers (they were somehow limited right?)

Personally, I am quite fed up with AoWs customer service, or actually, lack of it. I quite regret backing their IGG campaign, and I honestly believe that I will never get the value back.

So, if anyone believes in them and want to build a dwarf army, feel free to contact me and you can take over my IGG pledge.

AoW finally realized that restic like they use it doesn't scale all that well (in production numbers). In the long run plastics will always be cheaper, sure you might have a pretty significant upfront cost for molding (but even that can be relatively cheap if you contract it out to a Chinese firm), but you save a lot in man hours casting and packaging, molds that need to be replaced every x couple of times, minis that are discarded because they are defective (and the people actually checking for this). With plastic you dump 2-3 frames in a box and add a bag of prepackaged bases done.

The plastic Dwarf berserkers weren't limited, if you preordered you got a couple of limited bits.

I only wish they would do the rest of their range in 'proper' plastic...

Ahh ok, I thought the whole box of plastic beserkers were limited

Then again I only check Warstore and I cant remember the last time they were in stock

Out of curiosity, where did you find this? I can't seem to find the announcement anywhere on their website, or in the indiegogo emails they send. And as an indiegogo backer, this is the first thing that would make me "cash in" my pledge.

It's pretty hard to find. It's on their forum on their webpage.

Very nice - AoW make such great sculpts, if they'd get it together as a company they could be a major player.

That's why I just went in for the Standard Bearer. Frankly, I'm not sure if I'll ever see that, either.

I backed the IGG campaign for the standard bearer, I hope I'll get it before the end of the year.

I'll be buying a full AOW Dwarf army when they are all done. I hope Warthrone is a decent game as well, although whether it will be out before WFB 9th or 10th edition is up for debate..

Not doing the standard bearer first / early on was just such a horrible move... one they could still, even now, rectify, but seemingly won't.

Definitely not earning much cred with their fan-base by doing that... or earning new customers via anything but a distributor.

Does Waybe England have a blog or website?

Have we heard anything about the Limited edition Dwarf battle standard bearer?

Nope. I'm sure you'll get it eventually though; I'm betting 2015 myself

Maybe the standard bearer will be the LAST THING done, so that they can ship out all the pledges at the same time!

Just about to be released:
Avatars of War: Lord of Pestilence with weapon & shield

Really glad I held back and just went for the Standard Bearer. I'll never purchase anything from these guys direct. To many horror stories and the lack of communication on this is ridiculous.

WHEN GW releases the new Dwarf book and IF I can get ahold of a bunch of AoW Dwarves, well, I'll be looking to start a new WFB army!

Some people are still waiting for pledges with AoW, maybe by 2020!

Not some people- the huge, vast majority are waiting, all but a few as far as I know. Most people got the standard beaerer, and most wanted more than one type of unit, and there just haven't been many made yet.

What has been looks good, but it's been at a snail's pace. Personally, I've moved on and am going to be using FW chaos dwarfs for my army. Cheap and well sculpted AoW units would've been great, but they're just not available from AoW right now and who knows when they will be.

Yeah I pledged for the standard bearer and have heard nothing.

That's a nice model. I'll pick that up next time I buy from Trolltrader or Firestorm.

I suspected that his fulfilment would be awful. There were enough horror stories about the Chaos Warriors. That's why I only went in for the Standard Bearer.

It's official: There will be no English rules for AoW products, no official Warthrone or Arena Deathmatch rules in English:

Avatars of War wrote:Sorry guys, really appreciate your interest, but it is for me impossible to mantain warthrone in spanish and english.
Same happens with Arena Deathmatch and all the background stuff (Explore Saga section of the website).

Al this material will only be available in spanish, and any fanmade translation is allowed and would be much welcome!

Without being snarky, this is probably a good thing. AoW minis are essentially a WHFB-proxy range anyway, and the last thing Felix needs is more distractions like translation, given the endemic sculpting delays and production issues that the AoW side of his business is suffering from.
