Preorders are up and WLG disappoints once again.

The only way to preorder the entire miniatures line is to also preorder the Collector's Edition rulebook, which is three times as expensive as the normal rulebook. PLUS the normal rulebook is already included in the Starter Box.

I’d agree that Warlord’s marketing strategy is pants....something I diplomatically mentioned to them about 4 weeks ago, but you can preorder the entire miniatures range without the Collectors rule book if you go to Wayland Games..... oh...and they do a 20% discount.

If you guys are saying that Wayland has a better grip on how to sell product than WLG, no argument from me.

Nevermind.

And here in the US, Fantization.

Sure, they can be preordered elsewhere.

I think I should just order the Judges and see if they fit with my current collection. Otherwise they will stay in the painting cabinet as display models. No rush though as Wayland Games say its 41 days to release day so I might just go all in.

As far as I can see, the Judges in that pic are the only ones from WG's new range... the rest would be from Andy's project, IIRC, although those are magnificent in their own right, and congratulations on getting your stuff featured in the newsletter, Andy!

Hopefully there should be more pictures in the main rulebook too mate! ;)

Just to say too, the models are the same scale as their Dr Who and Strontium Dog lines, very tall and lanky things probably more in time with 32's than 28mm.

Just bought the strontium dog starter set, pretty pleased with figures even though they aren’t the chunky types I normally prefer, the dredd game is definitely something I’m going to buy

I also tend to like chunky metal figures (think Gripping Beast) but for 2000AD I like how WLG's minis look a bit more true to the comics.

Well props to WLG for relenting on the weird insistence on Collector’s Edition rulebooks in every pre-order bundle. But then again the new bundles without the CE don’t make much sense, either. Did some WL employee accidentally order too many CE rulebooks or something?

I notice that these models are listed as being resin. Anyone know if Warlord's resin is any good? I'm highly skeptical of many modern fad resins because they're either impossible to file/scrape for clean up (restic or similar) or very brittle, or just plain bad quality.

I have some of the new WLG resin figs because I bought into their SPQR line. It's kind of similar to plastic. It's not the same kind of brittle stuff you'd see from FW, for example.

Certainly nothing like Mantic's godawful restic.

Ive got a lot of the new warlord resin celts and Romans and really like the material.
It's a bit more elastic than other resins. Holds detail really well, and so far I've found very very few mouldlines, the only clean up normally required is to cut the small resin blobs off the end of pointy bits like spear tips.

Supposed you don't need an undercoat, but I've primed all mine before painting. The resin takes paint very well.

All Warlord are doing is bundle deals, the complaining is weird frankly since its effectively a "Collectors pre order deal" just wait and you can order the bits you want without the stuff you dont want.

I'm a collector. I want to collect the entire range. I don't want to pay three times more for a rulebook because it doesn't have art on the cover. Bad marketing deserves to be criticized. Thinking otherwise is what's weird, at least to me.
