With the Haste thing approaching and Avatars of War doing Empire...good times to start an Estalian styled army I guess.

Just had an email off wayland, telling me my order is delayed as they are waiting product from the supplier.
this follows on from the battleline too- which I got about a week later than i expected.

They get stock on fridays, and it looks like GW aren't giving them what they want/need. Whitey said wayland had a bad rep but I've used them before and it's been perfect.


I also experience the same with total wargamer.


GW playing sillybuggers with the supply chain?

Well their financial situation is so grand that they really donīt need the retailers to increase their sales.

What kind of animals? Andrea has a nice range of animals, but they are metal and expensive; http://www.milminwh.com/54mm_animals.htm#

You can also check out Safari Ltd http://safariltd.com/ usually available via eBay.

I'm looking to replace the griffon on my war altar.  I've seen the Space Wolves Wolves of Wolven Wolfs with Wolfriders conversion, but the models aren't statuesque enough.

Ooh those arabs look great. If only I had a reason to increase the size of my arabyan army. Hmm. Maybe the NPC in my Tilean campaign hired more of  them than (currently) have??

There are a few of us who like the Foundry Mercenary Orcs and Ogres - the puff and slash ones, and I found out yesterday at Salute that they have been busy repackaging them.
There was a half-hearted rebranding last year with some ORCPO88 and so on numbers in packs of 3 figures for the Orcs, which got abandoned.

Yesterday there were lots of single blisters of the Mercenary Orcs - some of the rare ones resurfacing as well - and they are simply listed by number now.
Mercenary Orc 25 for example is one with a spear in two hands.

Just tried the Foundry website and couldn't find them up there yet, and Marcus did say they had hurried out what was at Salute, and there were more to come - I think they went up to 39 yesterday.
I picked up 9 new ones I did not have before, and I think there are 8 left that I still need to get, and hopefully they have the moulds.

Not sure when this will happen as Foundry are moving premises so there will be disruption.

Might be worth keeping an eye on this site as well, as I am told some well known sculptors are collaborating on Ogres, Orcs, Orclings and Trolls

Great news! I heard about the Salute-thing as well, and was hoping that was the first signs of the promised re-release. I just hope the dwarfs are not forgotten.

Nah, I have no idea, but since they showed them on Salute, common sense tells me they will probably appear this year.
