The Wargames Factory website states that it has merged with Warlord and that the Wargames Factory models would start being available through Warlord starting October 2015. So far I have not seen any of the Wargames Factory available on the Warlord site and it is now almost the end of January 2016. In particular I am curious about he Dreamforge models as I had begun to collect that line for use in my own science fiction games. Yet with the release of Beyond the Gates of Antares has Warlord decided it does not need those figures competing with its own line? What is the fate of the Wargames Factory line? I realize that in the end it is business and if Wargames Factory figures disappear because Warlord did not want the competing lines that is how mergers go. However the message from the old Wargames Factory site would suggest the deal was otherwise. So can we get a direct response on where things stand?

Ah new artwork fooled me. I did not realize those were the WF models. Still where are the Dreamforge figures?

Dreamforge Games are a separate company to Wargames Factory. Wargames Factory has merged with Warlord Games, but Dreamforge Games are still trading independently.

Cool a fancy new box and they only cost 20% more.

Perhaps mispricing was one of the reasons they had to sellout?

You do get an a fancy flag sheet as well for your 20% increase.

??? I bought a box of the Wargames Factory branded Woodland Indians not that long ago and as I recall the box was the same price ( £16.00 GBP ) as currently advertised by Warlord.

Yeah but WGF always ran a lot of sales during the year. You could buy many sets for under 15-20 bucks then.

True the Indians aren't marked up as much for some reason. Yes going to miss those sales. Sadly, I probably won't buy anymore. The lower price was the draw.

True the Indians aren't marked up as much for some reason.

There are only 24 Indains in the Woodlands Indians box whereas the Colonial Militia and Continental Infantry are both 30 figures to the box. The Indians are thus actually more expensive per figure than the others.
