[Archive] What are the "Infernal Dwarfs" plastic set?

Aman:

I’ve now seen these a few times on eBay. They seem to go very cheap, and they look OK. However, the sellers are very vague and have little real information, which is suspicious altho they use words like Forgeworld, GW and Chaos DWarfs in the description.

But I’m also a little out of touch with GW and CDs. :slight_smile:

Zuh-Khinie:

I’ve heard of abyssal dwarfs (Mantic) and infernal guard (FW), but infernal dwarfs are unknown to me… could you link an auction?

They seem to be in units with "fireglaives"

The search is just Chaos Dwarf in Toys and Hobbies, there are several listings.

maded12:

Aren’t these the FW models?

Shakhorth:

Well these are re-casts from the warhammer forge ones.

They’re made in Hong Kong that’s the first hint. :slight_smile:

Eddandme:

They are the ‘new’ chaos dwarfs from FW. See on http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer/CHAOS_DWARFS

I got the feeling these are recasts as they look more plastic then the usual resin colour Forgeworld uses. But that could be the picture.

maded12:

For this price I might actually consider buying them…

Vogon:

They also appear to have poor definition on the shoulder pads compared to the Warhammer Forge originals. They look suspicious to me.

I note with interest that the list of excluded countries includes the UK most of “western” europe and Hong Kong its self, i.e. those countries which would probably be buying from WF directly.

Cheers

aarrrggghhh!!!

I hate it when people put any random GW related names in the title!

IT’S NOT 40K!!!

Thommy H:

Yeah, I think the fact that these are illegal recasts is a bit more annoying though…

So, notify GW and have this shut down?

DAGabriel:

Hope you don`t mind, have done this two hours ago!

Not that I am a fan of their politics but this seems only wrong.

Aman:

Righti-o, everyone legit suffers when knock-offs are on the market. If FW doesn’t sell theirs b/c of knock-offs, then there’s less they’ll be willing to do in the future.

So good call.

I'm glad that FW is following thru on more CD stuff, and with the book - it's a nice "in your face" to all the CD naysayers over the years. Hmmmm, almost makes me not want to sell off my remaining stuff! But 8th seems to have killed WHF among my regular crowds, and Flames of War is growing rapidly with V.3, so my Panzers are everyone else's gain, I think!
