JoeGKushner Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 03218: Orc Warboss by Jason Wiebe is an awesome figure. But I recently bought and have finally assembled and primed some odd twenty black orcs. I don't need another orc to paint. If this sucker was available prepainted though, I'd buy him. Non generic pose, lots of character. But I suspect that we're going to be seeing the older stuff first for a long time to avoid eating into the sales of the new stuff, which in a round about way, does showcase the tremendous potential of plastics if they can take away same sales for a figure. But I could be completely wrong. Just want that sucker painted and ready to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai-Mongar Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 The funny thing is, you could probably buy that mini, pay someone to paint it to a decent standard, and it would likely still be cheaper than buying the GW alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to bash GW as much as the next guy but my black orcs (20 0f 'em) cost like $40/$45 at most, not counting discount. And the current orc hero, if I'm remembering correctly, has a ton of variety.

Stubbdog Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Who knows what is in store for the Legendary line. They had to start somewhere to give it a worthy test. That does not mean that they have to keep it there after it proves itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai-Mongar Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I don't really mean to bash GW, I have my own O&G army which has a unit of 20 blorcs. In fact I got them in the plastic army box before they were released individually, because they're just that cool. I'm just making the observation that while a PPM version of the orc warlord would be nice, it probably wouldn't be too expensive to get it painted to a decent gaming standard. I do hope LE covers a variety of minis, but it's unlikely that we'll be able to see the entire DHL line done in PPM. I assume they can really only make an investment in the minis they know will sell, which means we'll most likely be seeing a variety of older DHL minis. At least to start with. On the subject of the GW orc bosses I found that the plastic kit had decent enough variety and is of course easily convertible, but the end result looks too much like a unit champion, not a ferocious orc warlord. I personally prefer the metal bosses (though I'm not a fan of the price tag), and I have to agree that the Wiebe Warlord looks brilliant. I'd just like to see a better shot of his face.

Dragon Snack Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Well, a Gnoll Archer is being released. I don't recall a Gnoll Archer other than 3190... And apparently, According to ReaperRon, I should have said Gnolls. There are going to be 2 in the late 2007 release (think 4th quarter), one with a bow and one with a melee weapon.
