Hope future FW Blood Bowl models will be better though.

I still have yet to buy any FW Blood Bowl stuff. I think I'm waiting a bit to maybe be able to get that free delivery.

Wow, that's like $322+ US dollars to qualify for free delivery! Ugh.

I've purchased a few of the FW models, but think the price plus shipping is really deterring me. Also the resin. Since I've mainly been unhappy with the FW models, I don't feel motivated to keep updating this thread with each new release. I'll likely start a new thread on the models I've assembled from GW and FW, with my thoughts.

I still enjoy reading what others have to say as the FW models come out though. Who knows, if something really cool comes out for a decent price, maybe I'll bite.

The local TT scene here regularly does group orders from FW, it is pretty much the only economicaly viable way to get their stuff. And even then it is still pricey!

Thats how our league went about ordering from FW. Tho as I have a few extra $$ these day( ) I "covered for a few of my friends.

Yea, yea, I said I wasn't going to post new FW stuff...but the Skaven extra positionals are up for preorder. Those have got me really excited, as I can finally finish up the Skaven team.

Also White Dwarf and Black Gobbo. Plus Grim Ironjaw.

The WD/BG set looks good, but I'm just not too keen on them and the price is high. Same with Grim.

And more stuff up for preorder. Goblin Secret Weapons, Orcland Raiders, and Orcs game mat "Doombowl".

I want the Orcland Raider set, but going to have to wait a bit. I did order the Secret Weapons. I didn't realize that the Chainsaw goblin is wearing a mask. Reminds me a little of Jason, the hockey-mask-wearing-fiend from the Friday the 13th movies.

My only real complaint is that we didn't get a pogo'er to round out the Secret Weapons. Maybe the plan is to release them in 3 packs? Looney + Fanatic + Bomma, then Doom Diver + Ooligan + Pogoer? I've already got some plans for a Doom Diver and the Ooligan. I tried converting a Pogo'er of my own a long time ago, and it looked pretty horrible. So I'll just buy something that looks similar enough to the team.

Exactly that was confirmed at Warhammer Fest - the other three pack is due later this summer.

Thanks Hobnail, I hadn't heard that!

Glart Smashrip Sr is up at Forge World. Not cheap, but I do like that model.

i went ahead and ordered him. as always, an unboxing and review will be forthcoming on the website.

Cool, look forward to reading it. I ordered him right away as well. It looks like they got quite a few things "right" with this one. Glart isn't holding the ball. Has both feet on the ground, though it's hard to fathom a jumping Glart Sr. Also, they have added a size comparison pic with another Skaven mini. That's a really nice touch, and I hope they continue to do that.

That fat rat is plain terrible.

The figure a member in good standing had made is much much better.

Haven't seen anyone post this yet.

Pic of the new troll, elves and other stuff.

I definitely want the Elves.

Not crazy about that Troll. At least the pose is better. Maybe he will look better painted up, but right now I think I'm more than happy to stick with the Willy Trolls I got.

Dugouts are new. Weird to have dugouts but no pitch. One looks like a sort of wintery stone background. Did the Blood on the Snow pitch not include dugouts? If so, then that would make sense.

It looks like the other dugout is similar, maybe a wintery Orc dugout?

Strange.

negatory, just the pitch itself and a kickoff table on the packaging.
