If you mean sculpts then yes...if you just mean resin production, I haven't found a third party company that does it worse than GW/Forgeworld, so...

Every time I've bought a model from Artel W, I get frustrated looking for the mold lines. THERE ARE NONE.

You could always put in a request for "FW level QA". They can put in some mould slippage, some hard-to-bend parts that need to be straightened, a whole heap of flash - the works!

" Hello there artel, I love your work but the people are getting suspicious at the game store about your figgies. I keep telling them they are old out of print FW stuff but they are starting to not buy it anymore. Could you please put some horrible mold slips, bendy weapons, mold lines for years, huge blobs of resin that obscure vital fine detail, tons of vents and some huge chunks of flash please?"


I'd pay money to see that email. I love his work and Im upset that I didn't get the Chastner figgie when it was out.

Please keep up the great work you guys.

Great stuff!

W's sculpts have great character. Love Cain, Jurgen, and the smirk on that new figure.

Is it just me or was anyone else who scrolled down that shapely strolling figure expecting it to end with tactical combat high heels?

Also, I thought that the tea sipping commissar survived the Great Purge of 2018? He was available with his faithful assistant just a few months ago on the website but is now gone. Did he really need a resculpt so soon? Artel, if you need suggestions for new figs, I could PM you!

Heroic Commissar miniature was unavailable at our webstore from January 2018, along with other discontinued miniatures.
Now we`re releasing the new version of him

Love that strutting girl with hammer. I'll need to keep an eye out on his store for it.

Things FW Q&A has made me say in the past:

"These Alpha Legion helmets make my Kill-Team look cool. It's like 5 wicked-looking guys, and then there's the dude that got his head stomped by a Warhound titan."

"Wait, why doesn't your Sicaran tank have bullet-holes like mine?"

"Let's play which one of these is the real FW tank, and which one is the knock-off, I bet you'll be shocked."

"Funny thing, that DKoK army of yours has guys that have been across the Atlantic more times than most sailors to get replacements for bad molds."

"Yeah, it said to heat the part slowly to bend it to shape, so I used hot water. And yes, these are second-degree burns on my hands and the barrel did snap."

"Wow, the last time I waited this long to open something and be disappointed, I swore off dating religious women afterward."

Hello guys! We`re producing our miniatures for two years now! And we want you to celebrate with us!
So, first of all:
Heroic Comissar 2.0 available now! And ge`s with his plus one... or plus two? Or plus four?! With his own table?!!

Mm lots of lovely stuff

I'm stoked for those scouts you previewed.

Another charm of the company, pardon the gak lighting, is that the packaging is amazing in itself:

Indeed! I saw that on an unboxing and figured they were just doing that for youtubers because they know it'll be seen on camera but I got that as well in both my orders.

So did I. Fun little touch.

I get paid soon, and have been waiting for Amberly. Got the old Cain before he was C&Ded, but I may as well grab the new one.

Between Artel, Heresy Labs, and even GW, we are starting to get a lot of good female models that are not cheesecake. Got to support all three when they do this.

From Facebook:

WIP for Bernard da Neufmarke, Master of Hymnes, another miniature in Grim Gothic collection.

I ordered the Shadow Stalkers recently and I had to contact customer support. They were fast and personable. 10/10 customer support.

I love everything about the new model except how symmetrical his pose is. He's a bit too statuesque as-is, for my tastes.

I missed the sale since I got paid a day after it ended :( Hope it happens again soon.

I love those two.

Very nice!

I suspect it's just the rendering, but they seem a bit flat.

Whenever I get something from Artel W, I always open it at my FLGS because it makes me feel more important than people who get models in peasant boxes with pictures all over them.

Just received my Iron Boss, Tech Priestess and pair of new Seers the other day and I'm quite happy with them.
Eagerly looking forward to the release of the Skawat and Rekon Squad.
Is that new female Imperial with the 2 handed hammer over her shoulder an Inquisitorial type or with some other organization? She looks great btw.

She's a noble or something, a younger version of the other female model in that range.

For the next couple of days there's 10% off (IIRC) on all Grim Gothic models by the way.

Everybody's favourite blank with his ever present lho stick and trusty dataslate full of porn.

While that's pretty cool, I wouldn't want to be responsible for casting that cigarette...

I dont know why but i love ciggys on models.

it may be easier to model a slot in the mouth and insert a pin wire.

Artel W models are so good and they make me consistently wonder why GW can't hire sculptors that a) understand proper leg poses for moving objects and b) faces (especially FW). Can't be that hard to find these people if tiny companies can?

Another great figure!

I agree that they may need to alter the cigarette before casting.
