Wargames Factory - Kriegs? Stormtroops


Wargames Factory have an interesting business model where they make market-lead plastic sprues to order. The latest, a shock troop sprue, is now on pre-order here:

I wonder what is under the bit-of-fun sticker :)

    These guys are getting a lot of buzz, I know I'll be picking some up as well.

    As for the 'bit o fun', I dunno. Antlers?

    Beasts of War has a sprue review and a building video. You can see the Just for Fun head on the sprue review about a minute and a half in. Looks like a face with tentacles fanning out. It's crazy we could get over a hundred for the same price as two krieg squads from FW.

    I like that figure painted in the alternate winter colors.

    I have broken my 'not-allowed-any-more-until-you've-painted-what-you've-got' promise and bought a box. Or two. Well, three. The only justification can be....

    Wait, no. There is no justification. Only weakness

    Hey Guys - thanks so much! Glad you like them!

    Our focus is making great hard plastic figures at a great value. The Heavy Weapons teams are going to go into sculpting next week with a goal to get them out in June. And then onto more SF goodness (along with all our Historical sets).

    Thanks again!

    I think I may (try to) hold out until there are a few more sprues in the line. It's nice to hear that some heavy weapons are on the way. I'd like to see a few more poses for basic troopers and maybe some sergeant/officer poses as well. The only real weak point on the sprue for me is that pistol. It just looks so...impotent.
