brother_b Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Anybody know how long it takes to do these “made to order deals”? How long to have the models actually in hand? I ordered my Bretonnians back in January, it’s the first time I’ve done a made to order. If they ever do Praetorians lol I’d be hard pressed not to buy some.

I've done lotr ones and it's been a couple of weeks. I did MTO for the RT book and it took a couple of months. However, they will deliver :) Son of Carnelian, Firedrake Cordova, brother_b and 1 other 1 2 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My RT book cut that close. My Bretonnians from Jan should arrive this week. I've had some arrive within days. Set your expectations as it being 180 days and anything before then is a bonus. I don't collect Orks but those Kommandos are proper old school fun. Kinda tempted.

CL_Mission Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Seems like an eclectic selection of units. Not bad by any means but I can't see a theme or a reason for these units in particular, I'm not an Ork player so perhaps I'm missing something?

It’s a shot in the dark thing in my experience. I purchased three BA characters MTO and it took them 5-6 months to arrive. Other stuff has taken 3 weeks and that’s all. brother_b 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Lord Duregar Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Oh wow, nice! I really loved these models. never had thoe Komandos - always seemed like I needed something else more.. But the Dread I had a pair, and bitz ordered some extra buzzsaw blades and more big shootas, rokkit launchas and skorchas.. Those Nobz are ace but the plastic ones still availble (?) are just as good IMHO.. And won´t chip.. Great sculpts but I don´t see a reason to pay so much for just nostalgia here..? Thanks for the heads up though! I had totally missed this.. And did not expect it.

Was thinking they might be fun to add as regular kommando boyz to a kommando kill team. Bit shorter all right, but not _too_ bad. roryokane 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petitioner's City Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 13 minutes ago, Trysanna said: Well there's no need to be rude! I think they're looking pretty good considering their age. What year were these released originally? I remember seeing the Nobz and Dread in my 3rd edition rulebook (or at least I'm pretty sure I did, it's been a while) I also just noticed the old style Necron head on the Dread banner. Neat Blood axe kommandos are 1994 according to this blog - https://sho3box.com/2018/10/16/kommandos-1/#:~:text=The Blood Axe Kommando miniatures,familiar Kev Adams ork sculpts.

Evil Eye Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 The old Ork Dreadnought is a great model but the lack of Killer Kans returning alongside is a shame. The Nobz are excellent minis, no complaints there. The Kommandoz are delightfully 2E, would be interested to see them done in a less fluorescent colour scheme (though now I wanna see some Ork "ninjaz" who don red and purple camo to be sneaky but also fast). Whether I pick any up depends A: on if I feel insane/ADHD-y enough to start a 40K Ork force (been reading a PDF of the 3E Codex, so maybe...) and B: if they're reasonably priced compared to the aftermarket. The Dreadnought generally goes for not-horrific prices, so it'll have to be fairly cheap to get me biting. roryokane and Wolf Lord Duregar 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01RTB01 Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 The ork codex dropped in wd175 which was July '94. The kommandos were released wd180 iirc. Possibly 181/182 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don´t like the current Nobs? ;) They are very similar. A few of them had flak armour, others designed to be éavy armour ones with thick metal plates. Mpst did not notice that though. But they mix well with the current ones. 1 hour ago, Firedrake Cordova said: Love the old Nobz and Dred. I imagine the Dred is going to be ... quite heavy ... being all metal. It is wonderfully heavy. Not as nice as the old lead-metal SM Dreds tho.. 1 hour ago, Trysanna said: Well there's no need to be rude! I think they're looking pretty good considering their age.

Neat Yeah, they are 3rd Ed. White Dwarf 246-238-ish? Some stuff popped in during the War for Armageddon, 3rd War for Armageddon too but think there were just after the 3rd Ed ork Codex. roryokane 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarabando Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 i was inspired by that dread when i got round to painting my own ork dread i also remember having those blood axes about 30 ish years ago when i was a kid.

MithrilForge Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Wow that’s a trip down memory lane I had a couple of those dreads, pinned them really well… so well I think they'd count as lethal weapons . so heavy though…. If it was plastic I’d get a few but my metal days are long gone . those Kommando’s are smaller ..thus sneakier !!
