Warlord Games 'Aesthetic' Change?

[nic-e]

I just saw a couple of blisters in one of our local retailers. They look bloody massive, 32mm to the eye would be my guess.

They're from the new range of primaris Australians. The ultimate form of Australian.
Just imagine, An ss officer Sat at his desk in berlin. He thinks he's alone and then from the corner of the room he hears "g'day mate"....
The last thing he sees is a 9 foot tall ausie, Cork hat and Bowie knife drawn, bounding towards him with the mighty leaps of the fearsome kangaroo.

Outside sirens flair as the sound of waltzing matilda rises in the distance. Cans of fosters fall from the sky and buildings crumble.

No one can stop the primaris Australians.

Primaris Australians! Love it!

Those ecw(with the new sculpt) is now out, its by a new sculptor and slightly more expensive.

Here are the new townsfolk that came out earlier, similar odd paint scheme(come back Armand!) and large build, \as you can see of slightly bigger height but much chunkier proportions from the two other warlord minis there

I really hope the new brigands and bandits for test of honour aren't too huge.The wargames factory plastics are very slight and i'd really like to not have my samurai heroes be outsized by an unarmoured man in a wicker hat.

Love the ECW Townsfolk! Probably go well with the Renegade

A real possibility, they are fuller miniatures more in line with artizan/renegade aesthetic than the earlier ecw stuff.

The next grooup build?

I have seen that warlord are repackaging their chindits, oddly enough they are no longer labelled as separate head(the range was a mix of separate and fixed with lys of fixed marked as separate).

Fired off an email and Rich Dando clarified the ones in pic one are single casting, annoyingly though despite it being around 1ish he ended with ''have a great weekend'' and when I emailed him an hour later with another query no answers for the rest of the day...must have gone home early .

Friday is PoetS day. Piss-off early, tomorrow is Saturday.

Just saw from warlord they have switched over their chindit range form separate to fixed head -

This is a trend I can get behind

[N.C.S.E]

To say nothing of the "interesting" poses some of their Norman horses have...

[Kommando_J]

To be fair that's a range they acquired. some of the sculpts look very nice, some look very odd, one in particular has a very oddly proportioned head...

I just looked at the saxon horses...

they look like they ran the grand national and weren't quite lucky enough to make it off the track.

Maybe warlord should sell a little curtain and a man with a shotgun who can "humanely treat" then in-between game turns.

Talked to warlord on facebook, apparently plans are afoot to start switching over the old separate head ranges into fixed, no plans for the order but i'd reckon they'll start off with the old waffen ss they are now re-releasing.

[Kommando_J]

Just checked the warlord website...not much in the way of deals tbh, a couple of bundles to go with the various re-released historicon miniatures, cheaper than buying individually...but then, that's not difficult when the historicon mini is £10 on its won .

Most of the good deals they talked about are physical store only it seems.
