Title: Avatars of War rumours
Post by: Silver Wolf on January 23, 2014, 05:52:47 PM
AoW is currently making Dark elves.

Even though their characters usually cost the same as most GW characters, their units are more detailed and cheaper.

So if they put a nice price on those Witch elves, they're definitely going to kick out some of GW's teeth.
And that probably won't be hard since GW's Witch elves cost a small fortune for a box of 10.

Aaand they're available for preorders...
35€ for a box of 30 (or 20 + character if you wish so)...

I wish I had an excuse to do miniatures stuff, but I really don't any more given how little I get to play (aka not at all)  :(

I don't play at all, either...
I just hoard and paint stuff for relaxation.

And about the AoW witch elves...
They're not as good as GW's... One of the gals has a real ostrich neck and their faces are not as detailed, but for that kind of price, they're a real deal. I think I'll eventually buy 20 and mix them with 10 of GW's models.

The traditional strategy is to use GW stuff for the front rank and fill out the back with cheaper stuff, I believe.  :P

What is it with people making banners that are big enough to act as a yacht sail?  :P

I believe that they're just showcasing those two banner options.

They're still pretty big banners though, especially for Dwarves. :P

I like the general :) Not so much the others, Dwarfs are a bit too blocky and the face on the elf looks weird.
Title: Re: Avatars of War rumours
Post by: Silver Wolf on April 22, 2014, 04:28:15 PM
I really like the dwarves with banner top being the only exception. But that can easily be changed.

IMO they look much better than their GW counterparts.

Just had an interesting idea, what if Warhammer models and AoW models and all those sorts of things were like the chess pieces on Harry Potter. :P

To hell with that... I would want to paint them just to see them get smashed during the game. :P

Yeah, I suppose so. If I want to see that I should just play Dawn of War. :P

You know, you're barely any better than the many ad bots we get on here, except you're a whole lot cooler, advertise cooler stuff and I don't actually have a valid reason to ban you. ;D

I like most of them - though the weapon held by the retiarius is a) wrong for a retiarius and b) may as well be a spade.  :P
Title: Re: Avatars of War rumours
Post by: Silver Wolf on March 05, 2015, 11:26:51 PM
It really does look like a weird mix of a spade and a rake. :D
My favorite is the orc pit fighter.

But this last batch doesn't look too much Warhammer-like. They have a style of their own.

Post by: Jubal on March 05, 2015, 11:58:23 PM
I can imagine them being more heroic/for skirmish stuff, they don't look exactly designed for forming ranks certainly!
