A thread for all things Quar by Zombiesmith (updated 10/04/24)

I am hoping that Sarissa will have the new Zombiesmith figures at Salute.

And available for mail order for those of us who can't make it to Salute

A good point.

I have started a Clash of Rhyfles rules thread here:

Well, in the email newsletter sent on 5th April Wargames Atlantic said:

Quar Coftyrans - pre-order next week

Quar Crusaders - pre-order next week

Quar Blisters - pre-order next week

So hopeful for Salute, and for those who cannot make it there as well.

Joshua Qualteri should be at Salute based out of the Sarissa stand. I suspect there may be some blisters of the new thermoplastic Quar with him.

On Tabletop Quar‘s War Gameplay video, which may answer some questions about the rules in the Rhyflers Pocketbook….

[Keeper Nilbog]

The "Quar Discussion" FB group just posted pictures of the two "faction" box sets, with the note - pre orders next week, from Joshua and WA.

Joshua has also said that they should have the "thermoplastic" boosters/blisters too.

The box sets are on the site.

Along with the thermoplastic sets

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Well, Sarissa had the three sets for the Crusaders and three for the Coftyran, plus Dice for both.

Coftyran have officers, RCO and trench Raiders.
Crusaders have officers, torpedoes (pitot mortars) and H11a LMGs.

[Sunday] Just checked The Rhyfler's Pocketbook (version 1.0) and that does not include rules for the RCO or the Torpedo (Splagen).

The RCO is tiny for a 100mm howitzer, I assume you can make the rest of the crew (6) up with the plastics plus ammunition crates.

[Silent Invader]

My first, small Crusader order has arrived from the USA: the Limited Edition single figure, the pair of officers and the three LMG gunners. Lovely little figures that I suspect will head towards the top of the painting queue.

Have you any recommendations on removing the flash and mould lines?

They seem to be of a similar material as the Mantic PVC figures, which are difficult to clean up.

[Silent Invader]

That’s a tad disconcerting to hear

I haven’t tried yet but I’ll probably take a scalpel to them tomorrow

The box sets claim to be hard plastic, and all the WA sets I have are. I really hope they're not like the Mantic ones, as those are a nightmare to clean

Are the "thermoplastic" sets different from the main boxes? I don't see them on the WA site.

[Pattus Magnus]

At a guess, I expect the thermoplastic figures will be in that Siocast stuff a lot of companies are using.

I would love to be proven wrong, though. I’m not a fan of most of the new plastics that companies are using for figures.
