Wargames Factory Orcs, Amazons and Dwarfs

[Gluteus Maximus]

you're right. the female faces are pretty hard to make; the best way is sculpting some barechests, to show clearly the difference!

  And draw the eyes away from the figure's face maybe

I like the plain look, that will give me some options in terms of conversions.

i like those persians. they look really plain, but with a GREAT paintjob they could became pretty cool!

Well they are doing mini sprues at this point.  A sprue with 300 Persian Immortal heads, and Viking bodies.  That might look about right.

I’m confused, they look nothing like the Persians in 300…

actually, ninja-samurai bodies are neede for the immortals.
with some zombie heads  (also from WF) for the uncovered ones...

I don't think there are any 28mm plastic samurai kits out there.

Looking forward to seeing more about these figures, especially the orcs.

The Test sprues have arrived.  Here are some pics!





Looking forward to swelling the ranks of Mordor with these minis.

AAARRHHHHHHGGHHGHH

uglllyyyy aarrmmpiiiiiittssssssss


not bad for the sculpts, but the joints seems to be... pretty old-style. it reminds me some of the Drakonian range that i've hidden somewhere...

[P_Clapham]

Didn't notice the arms.  On some of them it might not look too bad, others I may have to do a bit of conversion / putty work.  No biggie for me, I tend to use putty as a basing material.

As always with this company FAIL.

The arms don't fit, the weapons don't look like they are being held, merely hovering or glued to the hand and the detail is soft as anything. There is no convincing movement in the sculpts and it is pretty clear where the two halves of the mold meet. Wasting any time trying to get these to look even a little bit better is precious time you will never get back. Citadel was out performing them in '85 with their plastics.

I honestly can't see this company ever making a decent set.

[Sangennaru]

that's the result of making only 3d sculpts.... ok for the sci-fi guys, but for the others the old uman hand gives other results... as shown by WG and Perry...

[P_Clapham]

Really, 1985 citadel plastics outperforming them?  Could you post some unpainted examples so we can compare.

citadel always used to make much "fat" miniatures, and their parts fitted pretty well, since the joint werent like sphere and cavity, but just flat ones...

the sphere - cavity grants you many more poses, but it is quite hard to sculpt enought good minis!

and i agree that tose orks are a totally fail!

like their zombies.


i'm much pleased by their historical range... quite good mixed with gripping beast or WF

The picture isn't great but I have a regiment of these guys and once painted there is little difference between them and the lead command with them.

These are from '85 and whilst the detail is probably as soft as the rubbish from over the pond the pose actually works with some dynamism, the weapons don't float, the body doesn't fit together like a bunch of clearly separate parts and there was no clean up needed.

These Orcs can't even best a 25 year old competitor  .

I'm also not convinced by their historical offerings, they are not terrible but better can be had for your money.

[Sangennaru]

, they are so different that are pretty hard do make a comparison...
