Wargamesfactory celts

[redzed]

Gamers always seem to buy loads of plastic figures (Warzone, GW etc) and you never see them arrayed in the numbers bought.

yeah, I never understood why they do that. :wink:

the chain mail on that last pic is very reminiscent of the psychostyrene dwarf/drastic plastic ork of twenty years ago.

Whats the great big fuss anyways. We all probably had plastics before discovering metal and there are literally thousands of sets about these days. You can get virtually anything in 1/72.

Just because these are a little taller does not make them groundbreaking

I am not very familiar with the business of sculpting and moulding, but the interesting part for me between this two companies seems to be that they choose completly different approches of production.

As far as I understood Wargames factory is desiging and shaping the miniatures with the computer, where Warlord Games seems to take the "classical" way of sculpting in greens.(correct me if I am wrong)

I think this is the main reason why (at least at the pictures) the miniatures from Warlord Games look more "sharp" and detailed.

Will be interesting to compare the final results.

You are correct Lurch. I know some "traditional" sculptors are also playing with the computer technology. Apparently it takes longer to make a rendering than it does to make a green, but the rendering can be modified to make variations in pose and kit much more quickly. That is what I have been told anyway.

I think the big difference is that these are hard plastic, like models are made from, rather than the old bendy spear Airfix chaps, so they will hold glue and paint easier.

But the old Airfix Multi-Pose were hard plastic, too. And you could buy them when I was a little kid in the 1970s, so it really isn't anything new.
