A new range of models are to be released into the Fantasy range soon. Originally shown at the latest German GD, the core troop box of each army (Chaos: warriors/marauders, Lizardmen: saurus, Vampires: skellies etc etc) will see a re-release of '3 clip model' sprues. Priced at under the current cost of the unit box (apparently alot cheaper from what Iīve heard), these sprues come with a head, torso, and an weapon arm. Here are some pics: Skeletons Orcs Apparently the current range will still be available. This is excellent for Horde armies (Skaven, gobbo, skellies) where 'individual' warriors do not count for much, and allows someone to build an army relatively quickly and on a budget (also great for new gamers who want to play as soon as possible, as the models can be used unpainted w.out destroying them). Also, because the sprues 'clip' together using pins, swapping weapons before a battle will be easy. Need those Chaos Warriors with Great weapons? Easy! Take off the sword arm and clip on the Great Weapon varient arm. Those Skellies carry spears? Let me go and get my spear arms... (taken from COTEC) The downside however is that if you get too many, your force will look very static (much like the plastics from the early 90īs) & that the details arenīt very good |

I think they would look best mixed up in units of normal warriors. It bulks up units without making them look silly. I will get some Skaven ones when they're released. FB |

Is there any pictures of the Skaven ones? They might be good to bulk out the slave units a little

I am not here to be nice.

They look kinda good, though it isn't very dynamic poses there. I won't buy them at least.

This could be good, but as long as it doesn't take over the normal ones we have now, it will be ok. Also another thing is that why would they do chaos warriors and orcs first, because if its to make them easier to glue then they should do it for the horde armies (hint skaven and goblins). Unless its for beginers and orcs and chaos and stuff are more popular teams, but I guess Ireally don't know. But as long as they stock the same amount of the lods ones then I'll be happy. |
