Dwarf Warriors, Surly Trolls & High Elves Soon From Divine Rage
February 27, 2015 by brennon
Momminaturas have added some really cool models to their Divine Rage webstore of late since the Dwarven Hero that we looked at not long ago. See what you think of both their Dwarf Warriors and a rather epic looking Troll...
First are the Dwarf Warriors who are heavily clad in awesome looking plate mail with huge shields. I love those full body shields they've got for making rather awesome shield walls like you see above, a sight to behold on the tabletop for sure. These warriors rank up nicely and would be perfect for the likes of Ironbreakers of Longbeards in a Warhammer Dwarf force.
If you're looking for something monstrous for them to fight then how about this rather massive Troll? Once again I think the sculpting work is great and they've captured quite a cool moment as the Troll is about to swing down and no doubt smash an entire front rank of your army. I've always liked the look of Trolls, Giants and Ogres and I reckon this chap in particular would make for a really awesome diorama.
As well as the Dwarfs and Trolls the team have also been working on some new High Elf Warriors to join the battle. These have been designed with a very resplendent theme, plenty of over the top armour, and some huge weapons to boot. Despite my love of the bearded ones I think these are pretty neat too and would make great Phoenix Guard for Warhammer Fantasy.
cpauls1 from the community has already picked up a few of the big beasts from these guys and he says their great so that's a big thumbs up!
What do you think of the designs?
I love the shieldwall look of the dwarfs. Pretty robust looking……
aye they look really nice. The price is very nice too.
Just wondering what the resin is like, is it a pain in the neck or easy to work with?
The paintjob I think makes the models look much better than they actually are (I’ll note that I think the models are perfectly reasonable).
I didn’t navigate their store that much, but the shipping price adds 50% to the models (unit is 20 euros, shipping 10), although I think it still comes out at pretty reasonable.
As rank and file troop choices / filler, they’re pretty good.
Unfortunately, I don’t think this statement is wrong.
close inspection of unpainted pieces have lots of soft edges, flash, waves and shifts – I think the sculptures are top notch but their casting process or technique might need work – might be worth it for spending a lot of time correcting things, but not beyond that…at least not for me
That wasn’t my experience, and I bought several pieces. The detail is crisp, and they were easy to clean up. On the big Chaos beastie the mold line ran through some challenging textures, but it’s nothing I haven’t dealt with before from other companies. I’ll be getting half a dozen more. I really like the dwarves, as I’ve been looking for figures for a Battlesystem ‘heavy brigade’ for some time. These fit the bill perfectly. Price is also great, and I don’t quite understand the complaint by about postage. Everyone charges postage, and 10 euros isn’t exorbitant, especially if you’re… Read more »
I’ve not complained about the postage; merely pointed it out because I think it is worthy of note that you’re paying about half again for that unit. I did go on to say that even paying 30 euros for that unit is perfectly reasonable.
I did say I liked them, just that the paint job made them look much better than I thought the models perhaps were.
Would you be happier if they raised the price of the mini’s to 40 euros? That way the cost of postage would only be a quarter of the cost of the figures 🙂 .
I’d be happy if you understood the point I’ve made twice now. Unfortunately I can’t break it down into pictures so you’re just going to have to carry on being confused.
Guilty as charged 🙂 .
Those are really good.
