Shieldwolf Miniatures has revealed pics on both its webstore and Facebook page of the first plastic mulit-part regiment, and also detailing what their sprues contain.

(I don't know if links are allowed on TMP…? please advise)

Please feel free to comment, hope you like it as much as we do!

Those are crazy awesome

Twenty plastic orcs for about the same price as the GW set of ten plastic orcs. Not a bad deal.

12 instead of 10 rather your money instead of mine if they had 20 instead of 10 then!! What's so special about the fantasy and sci-fi genre that makes their product always 3 or 4 (sometimes more) more expensive than historical?

I bought some of Shieldwolf's trolls last year and was very happy with them, I have some GW savage orcs but I am getting some of these for the variety, really like the weapons and faces.

All the historical research they need to put in to do a proper fantasy range? evil grin

Seriously, I dunno. Maybe fantasy screams to have more detail which would certainly add to cost.

Thank you for all your kind and generous comments. And for the link uploaded, although we'll be posting even more pictures (less blury I hope).
In the meanwhile we have uploaded a picture of one of our sprues.

Here's the sprue picture and artwork I found online

I have dedicated a blogpost on my blog containing interesting information such as box content, more pictures of asssembled miniatures, European distributor & retailer, the company used for the tooling/ production and last but not least the expected release date! You can find everything together here: link

Cheers

So if I interpret the pictures correctly, the lower jaw is a piece separate from the rest of the head? Interesting design decision.

WNT Blog14 Feb 2014 10:41 a.m. PST

Yes, allowing for more poses and variation but of course also adding an extra step during the assembling progress. Not that I mind.

snurl115 Feb 2014 12:32 a.m. PST

These look pretty good.

Not bad, plastic barbarians would probably get me, though their current ones are a bit too Chaos Maurauder (TM) for my tastes. Kings of War is my current game of choice but I'd be open to something a little more flexable and their campaign system sounds interesting. The KoW siege and campaign rules are very much in their first edition and have their faults.

I think these guy are without doubt very eye catching. Something about them that makes me want to keep looking. That means Must Have to me.
