That mini looks like what happens when you sneeze and don't have a tissue.

Sounds lot like Dragon Rampant regarding the number of models needed. You might even be able to use your DR army for Warlords with few to no modifications.

A couple of characters, a box of infantry and either a box of cavalry or a handful of monsters and you're in business.

Yes. I'm already not liking it.

The free mini is nicely done...but a bit on the busy side? Anyone else think it would look better sans flames or is it just me?

Some of the Erin minis do look good but I can't say I like most of them though that may well be because of the paint jobs which do look a bit rough to my mind.

Erin miniatures vary widely.

The monsters are pretty good although some of them are rather game-setting-specific.

The Milesians, sadly, are a bit weak. Not only are there not many variants, they're small, the faces are indistinct and some of the poses look strange. A couple of the characters are nice exceptions -- I think they're Bob Olleys work. The chariot is quite a fun model.

The Sidhe are also Bob Olley sculpts and, although look a bit 'flat' compared to modern figures paint up really nicely and convert quite well too. Bit of ink work on the faces, washes on the flowing hair and they come out great. Certainly they turn into nice units. Mine are all wearing blue-toned clothing with blonde hair and shining armour. Cross between faeries and Vikings. If -- like me -- you like 'old school' figures, these are a good buy at the price.

The Fomorians are just *brilliant* -- my one and only complaint about them would be there aren't enough of them. They have characterful faces and lots of nice detail to pick out. I found the trick to handling the small number of variations to make Dragon Rampant units was to use many different shades of green amongst the skin-tones; add various reds and browns for the clothing, rusty armour/weapons and they look anciently evil. Some of the heroes are quite big (Norc, for example) and tower over 28mm humans in a suitably menacing way. Cross between Orcs and daemons.

This strikes the same note as 'Gates of Antares' for me; more of the same but somehow less so.

Not to slag the effort. It's decent and all, but not interesting or unique to cause me to invest in new figs/new game.

@Katie - Thanks...yeah from what I can tell online they are hit & miss as you say.

It's decent and all, but not interesting or unique to cause me to invest in new figs/new game.

Though they are re-releasing a couple of boxes of old WGF plastic minis Warlord have said that they aren't going to be supporting the game with a full range. This is really a rulebook only release for use with whatever minis you have.

I've fancied picking up some of the Sidhe figures for a while but especially so since I saw Makatishi's paint jobs: https://www.matakishi.net/sidhe.html

They definitely look better with a good paint job.

Anyone know if there is a point system in the rules for different forces? i.e. those not in the army lists.

It looks interesting but with the forces as specified it seems not that generic really...

No idea. All thats been said is that the army lists included allow players to build armies that cover most bases. I can only assume there is flexibility within each of the lists mentioned.

Those lists shown are very basic IMO and don't really cover all the GW Age of Sigmar forces at this point, unless they are VERY open definitions of armies...

So going to see when there are more details around this and not get excited at this point.

But wasn't part of the point of GW burning the old world and creating the AoS to move away from generic fantasy...
