Cairnius's Review

by Cairnius^[1]

I just received my Oni Army Box and Samurai Samedi Hero Box in the mail and opened them up...

I COULD NOT BE MORE PLEASED. Perhaps the venture capitalists who bought out Rackham and took the reigns know what they're doing??

The molds are great, I'm not really seeing mold lines. If you know your way around a brush you could detail these things right up. It's amazing how it took me going back to 40K and starting at huge piles of unassembled models, or assembled and unprimed models, to learn to appreciate AT-43 pre-paints in general...but this Oni stuff is fantastic.

The zombies all have nice washes/inkings on them to really bring out the texture of their gross zombie flesh. Samurai Samedi has some nice inking work as well. I don't think I need to touch these up at all to be satisfied with them.

The vehicles are FANTASTIC. And making the turrets removable is just awesome - if you have a Light Enforcer you can take the turret from that, take off the Graser turret from the Medium Destroyer from the Army Box, and now you can run a Medium Enforcer and have your first troop transport.

This Army Box is epic win. I am SO glad I decided to take another look at AT-43 when they promised me zombies with guns...and also glad it was Christmas time and I had nothing else to ask for such that everyone buying me presents are all getting me AT-43 and I'll wind up with all six armies and not having paid for 80% of it myself.

Grot 6's review and pics

The cost for the 2000 pt box was around 70.00 dollars It has a fair bit of evil inside for the price. the character is the sniper with the AMV Vlad. A real bane to anyone I'm sure.

The second unit is a load of zombies called detonators, basicly zombie bombs.

The third unit is a group of reanimator zombies, who infect others for the fun, (Which, after reading, I think more zombies are needed because you can turn enemies into zombies, too.)

The fourth, look like giant zombies in power armor are 3 tac arm zombies that have the heavy infantry roll. I think I need a couple of boxes of these guys as well.

The box set is a zombie horde and for the money, it was about the same as picking up the smaller boxes themselves... I got the red block guys a few months back, and that box set up to now seems to be the best for the cost box.

This army has a few different ways to field it. I'm thinking as well, that you can get yourself a couple of boxes of the standard guys and add them to preexisiting armies as they have both human UNE and Therian weapons.

Other ones are a guy in a suit named Priest, who, like your ususal corperate lacky is always pimping out the newest that the company has to offer. In his case, its zombies. it says that he is protected by a cog forcefield.

All of the characters have thier own APC's, and the units come in good size chunks, as well.

The paint jobs are good for a out of the box playing experience, but if you play the game more then a few times, you are going to have to touch up a few of the figures. The company doesn't do a good face job, and the paints are splashed on to just get a base coat on for color.

Zombies... It's whats for dinner.
