[Archive] Avatars of War Plastic Slayers!

nitroglysarine:

I think size wise he’s fine.

Its the axes I have issue with, I know he’s strong but that like swinging a pair of anvils!

Blue in VT:

I think size wise he's fine.

Really? he is literally as wide as he is tall! if he had armor on he would be wider still...too much for me...this is the problem I have with all their dwarf sculpts though...so its probably just a matter of taste...;P

Some new photos:





Looks like a pretty decent kit, but those axes really are massive!

nitroglysarine:

They look good. but yeah the axes are like slabs.

I wonder will they be getting any mail for GW soon. :S

Bolg:

Hmm, the sheer amount of options… (adding a beastmen heads for example…) but I do love the fact that my dwarven army is completely metal. well as I have no money at the moment that really solves that dilemma (:

Alfract:

I like it how the hair is optional on some of the models, should make it easier to conversions

Well, they haven't so far for their stuff. What AoW have done, I guess, is exploit the fact that GW is really generic fantasy, and it's hard to trademark a style. So no one can say "Dwarf Berserker" is IP, and if it just happens to look like a Slayer with giant hands and weapons...well...there we go, I guess. Raging Heroes fell down because they just called it a Lammasu.

Also, I think the fact that Felix is a former GW sculptor may give him a certain amount of protection. It may be that they're just turning a blind eye to it because a small boutique company producing figures in their own style isn't going to harm their IP that much.

nitroglysarine:

Sounds like it likely they are being cunning on their wording, style.

I doubt GW would ‘turn a blind’ eye. but I guess its possible.

Xander:

Awesome, can’t wait until mine arrive. :slight_smile:

Da Crusha:

wow they look great! just the right scale.

tjub:

Jupp, think I need a set of those… :slight_smile:

snowblizz:

Got my two boxes of Berzerkers today. Yay! The axes look somewhat less massive IRL I think. Gotta glue some together and see.

Mr Saturday:

These might work for those boar centaur conversion I have in mind…

Mr Saturday
Yes do use slayers for centaurs! works wonderfull

Mr Saturday:

Nice! The musician is my favourite.

I’ll have to try a test, I’m thinking of using the orc plastic boars. These slayers look like a very useful kit for chaos dwarf parts.

Bolg:

Looking forward to seeing some WIP pictures (: goodluck and have fun.
