Shock Troops

How about some pictures of the sprue to supplement the written information..?

Why does everyone want GW rip offs?

Looks like some very nice figs, and shows what wargames factory figures are like when painted first class. Thumbs up.

As if GW has original ideas of their own - HA!

Nothing like ripping off Alien, Star Wars, Blade Runner, and every other SF concept of the 60s, 70s, and 80s!

Sweet! These will make sweet post apocalyptic wasteland warriors!

Nice model. Interesting box. keep it up

these would be good for a chaos renegade army.

John O, Maybe its because people have been asking for greatcoat models for years and they dont seem to pay attention, and FW resin is too expensive/not forgiving enough for newbies to the hobby.

Personally i think their ace, looking forward to getting my hands on some of these bad boys.

I'd hardly say they're GW rip-offs; they're a solid sci-fi trooper model, in my opinion. I love the look - it makes me think "Wehrmacht... IN SPAAAAACE!" ;D

Fantastic models. Looking forward to seeing pictures of the actual sprues. If they look as good as the verbal descriptions so far, I'm in for an order.

GW Ripoff? I do believe "Zee Germans" made this look work first. Then nearly every other Sci-Fi nut out there took the look at made it their own. GW ripoff, my eye.

It is a Forge World rip off of death korps of krieg and I have no problem with it because GW and FW charge stupid over the top prices for their models and that is why people buy GW and FW rip offs. If you want to build a much cheaper death korps of krieg army this is the way to do it. Nice work people.

Utterly Awesome!
Now all some needs to do is give them SS or Splinter cammo? What Really good Idea. And a great price to boot?
Yes..... Great alternatives for GW Imperial, Inquisition Stormies as well as Kreig, but I prefer to see if there is a good rule set released for them VS Zombies. Well Done Wargames Factory, Now get back to making Long bowmen and Men at Arms!

GW Rip off? I think they more remind me of Helghasts :) Maybe we're looking at a future Killzone miniature game ;) I think these are awesome.

What's the "little bit of fun" thing then?

I put them as awsome...Hovewer i did not seen them in reality yet except some previev on YOUTUBE.I like their look and i have some idea how i wont to pain them thats why i worder one box...And who nows meaby few more in future:)

I have been anticipating these since I first saw the concept render on Beasts of War. I hope you all go through with your thoughts of doing a "special weapon" sprue or maybe a true command unit. I know you don't want to rip anyone off but would be an added bonus. The "extra fun" is fun, couldn't believe it when saw it on BoW but it is great!

aaa germans lol fantastic

These look very good! Not sure I'll be starting an army of these soon, but I could see wanting to paint some of them up just for the heck of it, and maybe use for a skirmish type sci-fi game. Then who knows, maybe expand it into something larger.

The review by BoW shows they'll rank up decently with GW's stuff, and not as detailed as FW models, but the latter isn't surprising.

I'm impressed.

Do we know when the pre-order thing expires, specifically in May?

Do we know when the pre-order thing expires, specifically in May?

Just pre-ordered a box of these babies. I'm going to wait until I get them and have a chance to assemble a few, then, if I am as happy as I think I'll be, I plan on ordering a ton more. We'll see, though. I can't wait to get them!

i sujest a pic of box if hav 1

great,im gonna do some kit bashing with my imperial guard bits

veri nais

I am SO down with these. Even if they're not GW ripoffs (yeah, like GW never ripped off anyone elses' ideas) they WILL be the core of my new IG army.
Looking forward to more stuff like this in the future!

Done a lot of looking at this, and I agree with the guys at Beasts of War, the pistol is a bit off. I also have a problem with the lack of extra left arms. for more posability options. Im also really really not a fan of the grenade launcher or the flame thrower. The Solid torsos have me a little peeved too. On top of that though, Its an awesome model, with a good design and great detail. I might have been okay with losing half the heads from the sprue for one or two more arm options.

Really hoping to see some command and heavies to go with these.

With a little moding these will make great Valhallin Ice warriors and be a lot cheaper.

STARV'N MARVIN IN SPACE

About time. For as long as it took I'd have expected better, honestly, but for a little over $1 each I can't complain.

They were pretty fast actually. From what I read in the forums they did some early work in 2009, picked it back up at the end of the year, and didn't really start sculpting until January. So four months from sculpting to plastic is pretty good!

March 2009-May 2010 is 14 months, not 4.

Hi lorbaat - your maths don't seem to be functioning.

I said they did some "concept" crap in early 2009 - they didn't actually start sculpting the final figures until January on 2010. So that's 4 months.

I'm REALLY excited actually, because GW takes about a year to do any plastics and these guys can get them out in a few months!

Hi BillT,

Sorry, but it's your math that doesn't seem to be working (at least, not as well as your internet connection- which seems to allow you to read my comments and respond to them before the webmasters send them live).

The Liberty and Union League timeline on this very site states a start date of May 2009. They will be released next month. That's a year and 2 months. 12+2=14. Simple!

Lorbaat, he said four months from sculpting until production. Sculpting started in Jan 2010, certainly not Jan 2009.

"didn't really start sculpting until January. So four months from sculpting to plastic is pretty good!"

May 2009 would have been when someone submitted the idea, and probably not when they started sculpting.

"Simple!"

I'd hardly say they're GW rip-offs; they're a solid sci-fi trooper model, in my opinion. I love the look - it makes me think "Wehrmacht... IN SPAAAAACE!" ;D
- Jolly-Roger

How can you not say they are GW rip-offs? That is death korps all the way. Im not saying I dont like them but to say they arent a rip-off is retarded.

When are these models due to be released? It is May already (for the last 17 hours!).

These troopers look %*^ING 1337!

I definitely plan to supplement my 40k Guard army and use these as the storm troopers! Nice models!

And the price? You can't beat it!

Games workshops prices will be there down fall... Theese rock Im getting a ton.

I don't think they are rip-offs. They are pretty nice models. If GW don't plan to do them then they really are fair game. Other companies make after market parts for your favourite car or Motorbike. This is no different.

I'd say that they are an upgrade. Not a rip off.

does anyone know when the official release is? i pre-ordered 2 boxs and im really anxious to get them!

Guys...of course they look like DKoK! If you create a soldier with great coat and some kind of helmet, you dont really have options. It'll have a great coat, a helmet, a gun, and thats about it. It's just natural, they all will look alike.

Actually im surprised no one has said it before but 1) their faces don't really look like DKOK and 2) they look so alot like Helghast from Kill Zone

Other than the long coats I don't think they really look anything like the dkok (definately more Helghast in there). I may use them as alternative models for either shotgun vets or stormies in my IG army, but I mainly want them just because they look awesome :].

fantastic bodies and heads, however im not crazy bout the guns mainly they look to "crazy" and futureistic. i think something along the lines of either an ig lasgun or modernday assault rifle would have been better. still think they are great and cant wait to get my hands on these, wargames factory rules!

Hahahhahahahh, Now I can make proper warzone mutant chronicles bauhuas soldiers. Thanks Wargames!

P.s. Down with Imperial, Down with Capitol, down with Dark Legion, For Bauhaus

why is evey one whining about gw rip off .gw is full capable of looking out for there own ,just enjoy a new rage of figures that can be used for a hole rang of games

another week and these should be fully released! i cant wait :)

May is almost over, when are they going to be released?

Just throwing out a new comparison, since Helghast, GW, and Wehrmacht have been mentioned many times. They resemble the shock troops from an anime called "Jin-Roh the Wolf Brigade." I'm not saying the other comparisons are moot...but it's what came to mind when I saw them. I think they are splendid and look forward to building some.

Great job on these figures. Price point is great, sculpting is great. Keep up the good work Wargames Factory!

They can't use GW style Lasguns w/out some legal ramifications. Flamethrowers & grenade launchers could be used by any modern/near fut. or SciFi type military. Admittedly the majority of these will be used in GW games, but so do half the ancients WF sells, not everybody plays FOG. I allready have my colonial british done as praetorian guard but not so much that I cant have them double as colonials as they were intended.
Once again WF has given the gaming community what it wants ( see libery & union lists) @ an AFFORDABLE ( a word not in GW dictionary)Price! Plus no steep shipping costs to another continent ( sorry rest of the world). I can't wait to kitbash these w/ ancient & colonial brit heads or add the arms to colonial brits as well.

these r awesome models im gunna B addin sum new models to my space marine collection these guys fit da bill perfect as a type of scout or just tactical squad dressed 4 a winter assault i give these models top marks keep up da good work nd keep makin these awesome models

I did make a purchase of a large quanta of models. Ive made numerous attempts to find release date information, especially with may come and gone, on this website, and nothing. Sure theyre cheap models, but without any information...... now im just getting hacked off.....

"comming in may"... well its june now...

yeah, it is june... im sore over the fact that theres no updates.... Id rather know theres a hiccough and release has been pushed back than feel like i just got had...

yeah they could at least do a little update or something

plus these guys never respond to emails even tho they say they do. GW responds faster...

Hi Guys - we put an update out three days ago - check out the main page news.

We always respond to every email we receive - usually within a few hours. If you emailed and didn't get something back, it might have been eaten by your spam folder. We've had that happen a couple times.

Thanks!
Tony

So glad they finally posted a release date! I was getting scared that they would never arrive! :)

An auto response saying "we'll get back to you..." does not count as returning an email. and i always check my junk/spam folder

Hi Josh - I'm not sure what the issue is. We - actually, to be honest - I - respond to every email that comes through our site. So if I haven't responded to your email, I haven't got it. You can send direct to tony@wargamesfactory.com if you like too.

Thanks,
Tony

Thank you Tony. Maybe the problem is the "contact us" page? Either my browser doesn't support it and its not telling me this or it could be acting up. But i'm always sure to leave my E-mail address when i send a message.

It's June 17th -- ARE THEY OUT?? :)

No feedback was left by this visitor.

I'm still wondering why it still says they are being released on the 17th when that was 2 days ago?

omg those are awesome cant wait to buy them good job war games if they already came out is the zombie/shock deal still on? i also am dieing to know what the extra fun bit is KILLING ME!!!!!:)

One of the best ScyFi model sets I've seen in a long while. I play GW stuff, and this blows their ruddy products out of the water! Wicked guys, I want more! : D

love it, but when will you make a comand squad?

p.s. pro stands for productions.

Ive been looking for ages for a second regiment for my Imperial Gaurd army as my plan is to have 2 regiments combined into one due to casulties.

I think I might have just found the ticket!

it's june-24-2010

Alright seriously it's time for you guys at wargames factory to start shipping thes out.

agghhh when are they coming out i cant wait any longer there just so cool!!!

Can't wait for my order to get here. I''m using these, pig iron kolony militia heads, reaper armatures, pints of greenstuff, and maybe some shadowforge female heads to make the Valhallan 397th out of Caiphus Cain's fluff. FUN!

No feedback was left by this visitor.

Have just ordered the "2 for the price of 3" deal from Northstar figs, and am counting the seconds til they arrive. These will be the answer to the prayers of every IG player who can't afford the extortionate prices charged by Forge World. Great work by whoever came up with the original concept for these guys.

This is AMAZING! But I like more of the ancient figures. But still this is another great product by Wargames Factory. Rock On!!!

These are beautiful models I have to say. I only came across from from BoW's youtube channel, and seeing as my friend has been searching for models to make into Steel Legion.. and since they are perfectly to scale with Imperial Guard, I know what hes getting as an early birthday present.

Are they out yet? It's still marked pre-order!

OK...
You were waiting for the box at the end of june.
So...We're start of July...Are they in stock now??...I'm eagerly awaiting to make my order....

Still waiting...although i've pretty much lost all hope that i'm going to ever get my box...

HA-HA...

Reporting for duty, sir!

I can't believe all the fraking idiots calling these things GW rip offs. Yes yes, they look like the Death Korps of Krieg. Baw some more like a little kid please. The Death Korps are just a mix of World War I era German uniforms with a little bit of WWII knock-off gear and then given a lasgun. Besides, Sci-fi authors and imagining has used the Nazi design since the 50s. GW ripped off someone else who came 40 years earlier, then these people just took a great, well rounded idea and made it happen. So to all you GW fanatics, as much as I love my Cadian and Space Wolves armies....Go cut yer selves like an emo kid if you're going to whine about these looking like Death Korps.

Wolfprophet, as much as I say that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, (within reason), that's no excuse to go around dissing emos! If you have a problem with people pointing out the bleeding obvious then I suggest that you may need some help. No offence intended but I have a few friends who describe themselves as emos, and I don't like people taking the proverbial out of them!

Well, my box came today, and I'm glad... overall I really like the models, but its been 3 months past when I expected them to be here. That for me is just a little to long to wait for a box of models to arrive...

you do realise you you speak of dissing emos, then you talk about the bleeding obvious, right? I thought that was pretty freaking funny, IMHO. BTW, great models! Imma pick up two boxes!

and on top of that, them nawtsees only ripped off their 'predecessors' the romans, in many, many, many ways.

=D

so were still stuck with ancient historicals!! =P

Hazaa! Good point there on the Romans. That actually hadn't hit me right away since I haven't made a point of studying ancient warfare as much. :P I'll have to do just that so I'm not outdone by a more comprehensive historian. Muahahahaha.

Seriously though, I concur with several of the people here. Great looking models. I'll most likely be picking up a box just for the hell of it. If I don't find a use for them, I'll at least have something awesome to practice my painting skills on a little more(Ten years painting. Can never have too much practice. Lol) and turn into some pretty bookshelf display items.

Ha ha ha, fresh meat for the grinder! Imperial guard :)

Great product. Exactly what I am looking for, at a realistic price. Thanks WF.

I absolutely love these figures. Wargames Factory has shown they can make a quality product and sell it ata reasonable price.
Keep making more Sci-Fi stuff! Bring on the Aliens and Tanks and armored Mechs!

Was about to comment on the 'GW rip off' tag, and say how they look more like Helghast to me, when somebody beat me to it! ; )

Incidentally, I love the models. As a big fan of Killzone and its universe, I'm really stoked by the look of the models and needless to say, I will be ordering some in short order.

Bravo to the sculptors.

Also on the GW angle, I agree with the user above who said GW stuff is more derivative than people think. Not a bad thing at all though as it works very well and I have a wonderful collection of their stuff. I just don't really agree with the pricing of their stuff now I have a family, house etc.

These are amazing little figures and I will enjoy making and painting them especially for an awesome price (though it did ship out over a month overdue) but my question is were these supposed to come with bases? All I have are the sprues and no plastic bases to put them on.

Perfect for my IG forces as they are from a "Konfederacy" and the heads mean I can make three different platoons from three of their worlds! Plus I made due with making pulse rifles into bull-pup autoguns by attaching bolter clips, these bad boys come with a "bull-pup" auto-gun already! The Khadrovian Konfederacy is growing Komrades!

what is the little bit extra?

what is the little bit extra?

Ever wonder how much it costs for companies like forgeworld to make resin? The answer is, not much. Glad to see a company making a product compatible to a game I love, with fine quality, at a price I can afford to pay for what is essentially a toy. Well worth buying.

These would make on hell of a Necromunda Gang

These look a LOT like "Gone with the Blast Wave" comic- in a good way!

http://www.blastwave-comic.com/index.php?p=comic&nro=48

Whether you like GW or not. Let's face it as a gamer, we are both looking for quality and affordability. What people should always realize as far as playing with it...it's whatever makes you happy. I know full well as a long time gamer...i get frustrated at how certain "companies" can state that a price for something is what it should be. Be glad that Warmgames Factory is an alterantive worth looking into. I for one applaud their ability to survive in such a niche market such as miniature gaming...

I just picked up a box of these from an independent retailer, and I'm working on painting them right now. I love these figures! I've been looking for some good non-GW sci-fi miniatures for a long time, and now I've found it. I especially love the Cthulhu heads and any of the other less-than-human heads. Too bad these are the only sci-fi figures this company does at the moment.

I am planning on doing a bit of kitbashing and make them into a merc trencher/comando unit for Warmachine. Either that or add them to Khador or Cygnar comando units. Good work. I think these will do nicely with just a lil bit of TLC.

Hey dont some of the shock trooper heads look the heads from the baddies in killzone 2s heads

They are fantastic for using as Demnogonis' Blight Commandos for Ultimate Warzone

Nice figures guys. Inquisitorial Storm troopers if I've ever seen some! Xenos Hunters here we go! I like the helmet options and also the weapon options, other companies that keep with just one general weapon are realy letting the variety of skirmish wargaming down. Thanks guys and keep it up!!!

I just ordered 1 box off Maelstrom after hearing and seeing good reviews about it. Is Wargames Factory planning to expand on this range?

I wish they have a command and heavy weapon box set.

Picked up a box of them to see what they were like, and they've inspired me to run a Guard army. The shotguns took lasgun muzzles perfectly, to make hellguns, and nothing else needed changing. Pretty damn good, and the price is right!

GW rip offs... Ha that's a laugh! Yeah, because GW has given us such original races such as orcs... Wait I meant "orks", because their version is so much more original than tolkiens version. And necrons, straight outta an Arnold movie complete with We'll Be Back rules. And Japanese Anime aliens. And xenomorph aliens. And "Sly Marbo". I mean, seriously?

Anyway, the actual models are pretty solid, and priced competitively to boot. My only gripe was the mass shipping fiasco, but that has since been handled (and some of us angry gamers have been appeased with an extra sprue or two).

Good job, WGF. Every company goes through growing pains and hiccups, but I think you are well on the right track.

I have built about 100 of these for a friend so far and they are awesome. Easy to build, look great, and easily customizable. Solid models for a great price.

so hopefully there are some elysian drop troop models coming too right???? =) spot on dudes!!!!!

Amazing detail. can't wait to see the range expanded.

Got mine all assembled and painting them! I do hope that they come out with Heavy weapons as well for them,,,Great Coat Heavy Weapons! Well worth the mass order for 118bucks!

Any chance of producing a box of these with tripod mounted heavy weapons and a few command figures?

Hey, I just ordered a 7x deal off of your website, and am eagerly awaiting a Zoican Chaos Renegade army. Keep up the good work!!

I just had a modelgasm

well done., good to mix with forge world figures & for convertions too., hope to see more of these troops., if you can just make some figures without guns ex free hands to attach different weapons.,

Placed order at beginning of december. I understand Christmas delays. Left message with office and no response. Not going to complain yet. Just frustrated. Will give it more time. Would love to be regular customer.

The only thing I dont like is the lack of base but the rest is bloody amazing

i think its fair to say that everyone loves these models (and wants more!) i do too!

altho perhaps an option for arms without sholderpads? also more kit-bags and grenades and junk to cover them in for more custom looks :P

I like the looks of em. Wish they were a BIT cheaper but I like them. And as far as them being GW rip-offs... maybe so maybe no, does it matter? GW ripped off EVERY sci-fi movie & book that ever existed & then calls it their intellectual property & seeks to crush anyone that MIGHT violate that.

I just asked my local hobby shop to get more in stock! Love this model kit!

Question for you guys who purchased these already: do they look odd when standing next to standard Imperial Guard units? In other words:

How much of a height/scale difference do these 28mm models show when stacked next to standard GW 25mm?

Simply awesome. Please expand this line.
1) Add some heavy-weapons teams would be great: tri-pod bulky heavy lasguns...er, sorry I meant "machine-guns" or large flame thrower units would be cool.
2) Other types of specialists would be cool: communications, snipers, command squads, scouts, or heavy/veteran units etc.

I had never seen your products prior to today... happened into a new store looking for something unrelated, and found these minis. Bought them on the spot, and started working with them right after work tonight.

I would put these on a par with anything GW is putting out right now. The scale is really close, and they make a great (and WAY more reasonable priced) alternative to 40K miniatures. Just for the fun of it, I mixed and matched a few Cadian bits and pieces- they work BRILLIANTLY together.

If management is reading this (and I don't know why they wouldn't) PLEASE continue with this line of minis. These are really well done, and are highly compatible with other lines available on the market.

I love them, and plan to outfit an army of them!

I'm hoping you include a sword arm in your heavy weapons sprue/command incase people want it for imperial guard officers I know I will need it. (btw great models will be makin an army of these)

I found two boxes of these at a local store and picked them up right away. Great stuff!!! I just finished building them to use in a Deathwatch game as they will make an excellent planetary defense force. I plan on getting a few more boxes as well and modding them into a chaos renegade army.

can you tell us what colors did you use in painting the first guy?

Morat, I wish I could but they were painted by one of our contracted painters. I would guess it was either with GW or Valejo paints but I couldn't name the colors. Sorry this reply isn't more helpful. WF

would these be compatible with GW's IG cadian range?
and how many are there in the box?

Absolutely James. While they are for our Alien Suns range of products the do fit in size-wise with GW's Imperial Guard. Currently there are 18-Alien Suns Shock Troopers in a box for $19.95 USD. Keep an eye out for our Alien Suns Shock Trooper Heavy Weapons Teams coming soon (which will include officers and specialist as well as weapons crews). WF

Really glad to hear that the HWS and Officer sprues are coming. Was afraid after the late unpleasantness that the Greatcoat line might have gotten orphaned.

Glad to hear otherwise!

awesome, the heavy weapon teams would be compatible too i suppose?
where can i buy them in the UK? P&P from the US sometimes ends up costing more than the product itself :P

I don't care if these models are "ripped off" from other things, I still think they look awesome.

Awesome Product! Great models at an unbeatable price. I bought a bunch of them a few months ago for a 40k IG infantry blob army, and I'm impressed with how they came out. They also are the same scale as GW IG troopers, so feel free to go kit bash crazy with these guys!

The only two minor quibbles i have are that the built in bases on the troopers makes these guys a little bit taller than the GW infantry models, and these guys' helmets need to be trimmed before assembly so they don't look like they have giraffe necks. Honestly, that's nothing a hobby knife can't fix in under ten seconds.

Excellent models. I'm looking forward to seeing those heavy weapon/ officer kits.

Finally! Someone who makes GREAT minis without GW's ridiculous,self-improtant prices.

Great figs,great variety! Way to go!

great models love the details

hi all in live in the UK & i have 9 boxes of these great figures & these are better then GW pricewise & in some cases buildwise too even converation wise but i wil say this IF you going to use them for a 40k tornament you will get a GW hissing fit

As a guy who has been playing all sorts of Miniature games from Battletech to Warhammer 40k, it's your money. GW can't tell you what to buy! YOUR MONEY use it for whatever you want. I am buying these Shock Troops to represent Inquisitorial Storm Troopers

These are awsome...Made for a good IG army mixed with GW parts. Good job

Do these things come with bases??

James, None of our products come with bases at this time. You will have to supply our own. That will change in the future. WF

Any idea when the HW and officer sprues are coming?

@Chris - The first pass of the renders just came through and Kevin is doing tweaking on them now. We are working on getting out Spartans first (shooting for 30 in a box for $19.95), then Shock Troop Heavy Weapons (with command figures) and then start our
16th Century Samurai range. All of these should happen this quarter. WF

Just placed an order for two box sets. Looking forward to painting them in the style of the Gegengheist Gruppe.

You know that you get a 10% price break at 3-boxes and a 15% price break at 7-boxes, right? Just thought I'd throw that in there. If you want to adjust the order or cancel and start again for the price break I'd suggest doing so imediately or contacting
us at customerservice@wargamesfactory.net and have us do it for you.

Why do we want GW like figures? Theirs are too pricey for what you get in a horder army. 33.00 dollars for ten models after the current price increase? Nope I'll take my 18 at twenty thank you.

No feedback was left by this visitor.

Got my models, cleaning and assembling them now. A few notes: injection points on the sprues are poorly chosen. No matter how much clipping and filing you do, it will not be as smooth as a clean surface. So the tops of the helmets, being one of the most
visible parts of the model on the table, is not a particularly good place to attach to the sprue. The supporting arms do not fit gracefully with the rifles, but they do fit. They fit fine with the shotguns. The heads don't fit the body without clipping a good
chunk from the neck, but that's a 5-minute job. The heads don't fit the standing body without narrowing the neck a bit, but again, a quick fix. Future directions: I would suggest fewer head options (14 heads per 3 figures is a little extreme), more gear options
(canteens, pouches, bayonets, suppressors, headset radios, binos, scopes, grenades, demo satchels, etc.) ..... that being said, they are still reasonably priced, and reasonably detailed, and I have every intention of purchasing more.

Sure, they're GW ripoffs. WGF isn't even trying to hide the fact that these are made with the Imperial Guard in mind. But GW keeps upping their prices like there's no tomorrow, and if somebody else wants to come along and offer a similar product for significantly
less, well, then that's capitalism. From the beginning, I wanted my IG army to be a sci-fi greatcoat style army, and that means my options are either pay Forge World prices for Krieg, or come here. To me, that's an easy choice to make.

This is an awesome kit. I have used it for a krieg army. Stick spare lasguns on them and they look fantastic.

have got two boxes and kit bashed to make specilist squad in imperial guard. They fit in great. We need more like this.

Holy Serenity Valley, it's the Browncoats!

Looks great! But does anyone know how it looks beside a Bauhaus soldier from Warzone?

When are these going to start to be shipped with bases? Will that increase their price?

@Tommi - They aren't going to be shipped with bases; at least not in the near future. None of our current range of figures comes with bases. The Shock Troop Heavies will come with bases as well as the WSS Cavalry and all models going forward starting with
the new Samurai and new Apocalypse ranges and maybe even the Greek Heavy Infantry (we've not decided yet on that set). Once we get a feel for the cost (which will be minimal in terms of what 30-bases costs us to put in a box but could be anywhere from slight
to substantial in increased shipping due to added weight) then we'll discuss price increases. As for now, we're holding to our $19.95 price point and not putting bases in the current boxes.

@Wargames Factory Thank you for the information. I am thinking of starting an IG army with these models and I am just trying to calculate the costs. Are you going to be publishing rules to use with your models or do you intend to use them as counts-as
in other games by the way? Do you approve of people using your models as counts-as in other games?

We're in the process of writing some rules for 1400-1900 (for our Samurai and WSS plus ACW and AWI); if those are successful we'll be putting our rules for modern/sci-fi (1901-2500-ish) and ancients (2500BC-1399AD). Once you pay for your models they become
YOUR models and you can do with them whatever you want; you have our blessing (not that you need it). Have a great summer!

I ordered the 7x deal last december, and LOVE the models. They are pretty good for IG armies, they are just a little taller than a normal Cadian. You guys are awesome! Keep it up!

Why all the fuss over bases? Go to your local GW store or their website and buy a pack of their round bases. Seriously though, I cannot wait for the heavy weapons set.

These models are fantastic! Very excited to get my hands on the weapons team to! You guys ever think of doing cavalry for the shock troops? That would be awesome!

Sooo unbelievibly cool!! Suggestion. do you think you could maybe make something similar to witch hunters? cause my gf would definatly buy it. so would many witch hunters fans as GW current range on witch hunters sucks

Amazing kit! I plan on building a Traitor Imperial Guard army to complement my Chaos Marines, and these guys are perfect for it. I got my first box today just to check them out before I start ordering them in bulk, and I am very impressed by the quality
of the models as well as the sheer number of accessories and options they come with, plus the ease of kitbashing them with GW guardsmen to make squad leaders and whatnot. Great kit for a great price, will definitely be ordering more soon.

oh my god i have to use these for vets with shotguns and grenadiers doctrine!

I plan to use the parts from the set with the greek hoplites to make scifi greek hoplites. And do the same for the Amazons. This is to make some minis for the Hellas game.

My question is not of the GW ripoff, but how, when a company like this can offer 18 figures for $20, when over here in Australia, GW offers a box of 10 slightly smaller figures for $48 US dollars.

No feedback was left by this visitor.

I cant wait to get some.Im planing to have a massive infantry ig army and these models a perfet for this. The only problem i have is that the pistol is a little wimpy but othe than that the models are great

I love the look of the models, I plan on ordering some shortly. Keep up the great work at the great price.

Just thought I'd throw this in: plenty of companies do bases, probably cheaper than GW (since that's our chosen topic to harp on about, no offence intended), including wargames factory. All you need on one site. They do look nice, I'm very tempted, but
can't think what I'd use them for...

Just got my new figures in and they are superb. As far as Basses go the cheapest I had found before now were some laser cut wood ones from Ebay. These are less expensive and nicer.

Decent plastic kit, personally not a fan of the giant hands, heroic scale is fine, but these guy's bare hands are larger than a GW Space Marine's hands with gloves.

people GW came out with this stuff in the 70s, like not this product, but space marines and genestealers. enter space hulk.

The links for the sprues seem to be broken, any chance they will get fixed?

Wow these guys are awesome.We have several IG players at our local store and these guys are perfect for us. They're cool, have great gear, and are sold at a really great price. Are you guys considering doing a commander squad/series by any chance, because
if they're anything like these guys they'll look amazing!

Just received my Shock Troopers in the post - they look even better in real life than in the pics. Haven't started building them yet, but I am VERY pleased with the detail and the options available. Trying to work out excuses for using the alternate heads
on something!!

I liked very much those Shock Troops but I have two questions for Wargames Factory, please: - How many bases are included? - How size are there? Thank's

Darth, There are no bases included in this kit (as with a number of older WF kits) but they have them for sale for cheap in a number of sizes in the webstore

What do people think? I'm going to use these guys as inquisitorial henchmen. Awesome models btw.

Alright time to resurrect that Salvor Chem Dog IG army I lost in the fire years ago!

they would make great stormtroopers for my pre-heresy 40K army

Amazing number of models and spare bits per box! You can't deny these are great value!

I found this product to be not only highly enjoyable for running my Savage Worlds sci-fi games. But the gamers loved the original look and feel of the figures, and it really helped to bring the game itself to life. Thank you so much for these wonderful
models. I really enjoy your work and am personally excited to see what you come up with next.

These Storm troopers make the most incredibly incredible IG proxies

Excellent miniatures, absolutely love them.

IMHO these are much more reminiscent of the 28mm Warzone figs or Heavy Gear than GW - Deathkorps of Krieg is much more recent than either of those two. Nice sculpts, whatever the original concept, and VERY nice price in relation to other offerings on the
market, esp. in plastic.
