What to do?

[slackandowski]

Ok fellow casting enthusiasts....I'm preparing to place and order and I'm not sure what to do.

Option #1: Buy one or two of the new 32mm fantasy range (direct from PA since the US Distributor doesn't have them yet).

OR

Option #2: Buy one or two of the older 25mm fantasy range.

I like the new 32mm range....but I guess my decision would be based on the release schedule for new 32mm fantasy moulds.

Any input? I just don't know what to do!

I am getting the 32mm elves.
You can try for them on the PA ebay store.
I won 2 and bought 1 of the new 32mm elves ;D
PA has 32mm orcs, undead and humans coming out soon.

Well, now that I found this I feel better about taking the plunge:

We will release the Warforge Fantasy moulds in Late February. These will consist of the following:

• The Fierce Orcs, the best known baddies, carrying spears, morningstars and scimitars, one will be an archer.

• The Horrid Undead - Monstrously Armoured undead skeleton swordsmen, spearmen, etc

• The Brave Men at Arms, these humans will be kind of medieval in style, light armoured swordsmen, archers and spearmen.

I can hardly contain myself!

We are planning to release the next series of 32mm moulds at the end of February. So if you are interested in casting the larger figures you will not have long to wait.

Well I got my first 32mm High Elf Mould off e-bay and must say it is awesome!
;D

I'm painting up my first cast and loving it....I'm trying to figure out what rule system to use....since I can cast as many as I like I'm thinking of going with a mass army rule set where I can have mutliple figures per base to give it that big army look and feel!

I'm looking forward to picking up the rest of the elves and the new Warforge stuff as well!

[mrwigglesworth]

I have 3 rule sets I am thinking about.
LOTR by GW
Carnage by ICE
Budget battlefield by microtactix
I am not sure yet.

I like the LOTR idea for single based figs...I haven't seen Carnage and I haven't looked at Budget in awhile.

I'm thinking of this one with multiple figs per base:

Click on Iron Winds of War to download the copy (about midway down the downloads page).

They are simple yet effective....and I've played them with multiple figs per base (in 15mm) and it worked out well. And there's lots of room to "tweak" the rules to your liking...

Warmaster might be an option too.

Uhm...what's Carnage?

(And I say this as a former ICE freelancer!

Aha- Just found it. I see Bladestorm has been ressurected from the dead too. The things I don't know about.

I spent quite some time making a minis ruleset for the new HARP system and it will, apparently, be made. Maybe. Anyway, the HARP system was written with the PA minis in mind (hey, I am a fan, sue me.)

Bladestorm is ok, but kinda too complicated, if memory served.

It may be to late to answer this but have you tried calling The Dunken Company, Inc here in the USA? They have a toll free number of 800-544-6653. If your in the Texas area you can call at 936-890-3707 or 936-597-3226.
I mention them because they will work with you on getting moulds that you may want. They can come up with some strange moulds if you just ask. I did and they came up with an airplane that is great.
