The first plastic unit from Avatars of War; 20 dwarf berserkers, turned up in the post today so thought Ill share my thought with you.

Box contents.
6 sprues in total, 20 bases and a movement tray (which was a nice suprise)

5 of these

Looking over the sprues Im very impressed, good level of detail and some great options like the beer mug and giving the finger!
The hair pieces are separate as well so you can have a chioce of slayer hair or bald.

Quailty of the plastic is very good and holds detail on the models very well (such as scars on the torsos).

Pricing gives good value, I picked mine up for £20 which is a £1 a model, not going to argue at that.

I have 1 gripe with the set; the bases are slotted while the models have no tabs, a very minor fault I know and not that big a deal as I have plenty of spare bases but seems like a silly oversight.

I put one together to see what they look like and how well they are to clean up and assemble.



Parts were easy to clip off the sprue and cleaning up was easy (there wasn't a great deal of mould lines).

The finished product


Ranking them up might be a bit of pain as the weapons are quite big, so some thought will have to go into posing.

Overall Im very impressed with them, even more so as its the first plastic models Avatars of War have done. Rumours are female elves are next which if these are anything to go by, they will be great.

That axe does look oversized!

The Mantic dwarfs come with beer mugs too

How do they compare with the GW berserkers? They look bigger (too big and out of proportion?)?

Shame that 3rd pic has bad shadow

@Matt.... GW Slayers.... can't believe you've gone so "off message", the GW police will be round to have a quiet word

I dont have any GW dwarves to compare him to but will take some pics later with him next to different minis (and Ill get less shadow as well).

ts Some better pics and size comparison shots.

they look awesome! just need to get him to do some with reeeeeeeeeaaaaaaally big hats now.....
