Warlord Games 'Aesthetic' Change?

The Warlord forum has been down for a while

I'm annoyed at how they botched this (articles don't work either) but more annoyed that all the best deals they spent the last month hyping up didn't materialise or are physical store purchase only.

I also find it ridiculous tha they didnt bother to re-release the pc dogberry mini from games day a few years ago, would have been perfect for sealion.

Also the SS may be getting the fixed head treatment, the new artillery pieces use minis from the FOO pack with different heads(and noticeably the fiexed symbol is absent).

If the forum was back up you could express your grievances on there.

I doubt they'd listen I'm hoping for some better deals tomorrow. I recall something about a half-price waterloo boxed set but that seems to have not materialised.

My current gripe is that they refuse to relese a rulebook for test of honour! releasing expansions to the rules that you can only get in new box sets is fine if you can afford to buy them all.

Plus at the moment if you want to start the game you need to core box, but a separate rulebook and starter deck would really expand the player base.

I very much like elegant figures ( AB in 20mm , Bill Gaskins hybrids in 30mm etc )
The warlord Ww2 I've seen have been shocking .
Cartoon like with he men proportions , the ugliest faces and many super action poses .
Not my cup of tea but this I understand would appeal to fantasy/SF cross over market .

Is all not well with Warlord?
I have had several items on "direct order" from Warlord through my local gaming shop for 3 months now. The guy in the shop had been to Warlord HQ and was encouraging customers to put orders in. I thought why not? did it to save the postage and to help out the store guy.  I got the first couple in less than a week but was told there would be a slight delay because the rest needed casting up special. Fair enough. But now 3 months later it's got embarrassing all round. The shop guy has been onto them many times to no avail.
They  (Warlord) seem to be completely disorganised.

Warlord's old issue was that no-one ever seemed to take ownership of an email/complaint/order. You got bounced around with everyone (apparently) trying to sort the issue for you, but actually there seemed to be no set joined-up patterns of process in place. It all seemed to rest on the memory of the person who was passing a message on, to someone else who has to remember to pass it on to someone else, who has to remember to sort it out. This was a good 5 years ago and it would be a shame to think they're still making the same mistakes.

I always said they need a dedicated office manager who allocates issues to individuals and follows them up to make sure they've been resolved expediently. It all seems way too laid back and slapdash sometimes. It's not that problems happen a lot, it's more that when they happen, no-one seems capable of fixing them swiftly and competently.

Indeed, I sent an idea for an article days and days ago, youd think a simple yes or no reply to my query would be easy to type it.

Also since the online reshuffle lots of articles seem to be gone, on a slightly cheerier note the soviet winter command the previewed in 2015 are out! The arsenal miniatures stuff shouldn't be too far off .
