Who would have thought we'd get something as niche as werewolves in hard plastic? Certainly not me :D
I bought a box of the minis as soon as they arrived at my local shop and I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised.
You get five sprues of werewolves with four bodies per sprue so you end up with a 20 wolves strong pack per box:

The casts look quite good overall though I think some of the feet seem a bit stumpy and I'd have liked just a tiny bit more detail there.
Some more thoughts, pics and comparisons to Fireforge, Perry and other WGA minis over here: https://kesseldude.com/blog/2024/08/wga-werewolves-go-awwoooo/ (https://kesseldude.com/blog/2024/08/wga-werewolves-go-awwoooo/)
My bro got me some webspace so I'm giving this blogging stuff a go :D

I picked up a box of them at the weekend, even though I probably have enough metal Westwind ones ::)
I was quite surprised at the lack of spare heads. There are 6 per frame, but it could have been more, especially as there are 14 arms per frame, which seems excessive for 4 bodies.
However, those quibbles aside, it does look a useful way to bulk out my werewolves :)

That's a lot of werewolf! :o
I only ever had 3 (not counting my Confrontation Wulfen), as they have been single monsters so far (Frostgrave, RPGs). But now I might think of adding a werewolf regiment to my undead army. Or as their mortal enemies, Underworld style.
Them being plastic makes them easy conversion fodder too...

I bought a sprue, quite nice, should match the 4 I have currently, but unlikely to need 8, useful for the bits box though. lol

Arooo! I have a goodly number of metal werewolves, but I suspect the population will be going up a fair bit!
It will still be lower than my population of large wolves....

This has been on my "I want it but don't need it list" since I saw it. Making it want it more

I picked up a sprue a couple of weeks back: great fodder for beastman kit bashes!

All males?

All males?
Yup - bit of a missed opportunity!

While I have no real need for them (I just remembered, I have a couple werewolves I painted...and have NO bloomin' idea where they are) I think it's a cool idea...but I'm not overly fond of the heads/faces.
Fortunately someone will probably make more wolf-natured ones as an STL or something. The faces are much more "wolfman" style, and more "human in wolf make-up", etc.
I'd love a more 'Dog Soldiers' look.

It seems like a real miss that they didn't include more heads. It would have been great to have some more wolfy heads with a more pronounced snout (muzzle?). While I do quite the heads on the sprue more variety in parts is always appreciated in this house :D
