I think Freebooters fate are making those eventually.  Not sure if they are released yet?

Here they are -  not too bad, but the light cav should be even more juicy.

Anyone know of a decent site for large ogre sized weapons? I don't have time to muck about with casting my own before March!

Firstly there's this very usefull miniature gaming portal with fresh news, tutorials, working links to the official sites and what not. Highly recommended. http://wargameterrain.blogspot.com/

And secondly another very talented miniature artist from Uncle Sam after a succesfull kisckstater campaign started his own business. http://imbrianarts.com/


Awesome, don't you think?

Problem is that rider is already fixed to his mount. And his gear is leather/cloth. Not much use when DG riders are equipped with full plate armour.....

I really like the concept.  I was considering getting one for my Warriors of Chaos army (Daemonic Mount).  But the attached rider and pose were major negatives.

The model is in white metal and hanging off its back foot.  Not good.

Material: White metal

It is very unlikely that a small company would produce plastic models.  Injection molded plastic is very expensive.  Most models from small companies will be white metal or a light resin (slightly darker than finecast).

It's also not uncommon to see painted, primed, or resin casts.  It shows off the detail a lot better than bare metal.

I wonder about the water treatment the plastic dudes are using....most plastic injection companies...if small enough donīt treat their cooling water properly and therefore their tools corrode rather quickly leading to high maintenance costs.

That's exactly how the new GW ones should have looked. They have the dodgy fashion sense of the old ones with the modern grit of newer armies. I would revamp my chaos dwarfs if the new ones looked this way.

The previous models were resin.  They're being reproduced in plastic.

According to AoW they also changed how the models are assembled.
