Sorry for the thread necromancy but if you can't do a bit of necromancy in the world of Warmaster, where can you do it?
So, a year on from Forbes and Athensfantasy's rather excellent piece of work, how have things changed with regard to the top three armies, Skaven, Lizardmen and Deamons they identified and the commercial availability of figures?
Sadly I'm not aware of any new Skaven-type miniatures from any manufacturer. Magister Militum have a Ratmen range planned but it's only 6 codes and doesn't seem to cover much of the Skaven list.
Lizardmen have done better. Magister Militum are producing an, as yet, incomplete Reptiles and Amphibian Men range that, based on the photos on their website offers reasonable proxies for 6 out of the 8 unit types. The missing two, Salamanders and Kroxigor have proxies from various manufacturers but they aren't generally visually similar to GW originals. Whether MM's command pack will give us suitable characters, particularly the Slann, is unknown. I don't think it's possible to create a full GW-like army as yet but we're getting close.
Deamons have a couple of new codes from Magister Militum but apart from using various Eureka codes, are still fairly poorly served, at least on a price per unit basis. Via Ebay and Eureka you can more or less create a Deamon army but it won't be a low-cost or easy path to tread. How the various figures, sourced from different manufacturers look together might be another matter, although as Deamons could be said to be the ultimate fantasy figure, perhaps any visual differences wouldn't matter that much?
A fair summary?
