Product Review: Warlord Factory Set, Produce Set, Warehouse 1 and 2



The loot!

Factory 1 Bag weighs 1.21 pounds! (all resin)

Warehouse 1, right at .55 pounds! (all resin)

Warehouse 2 set, .26 pounds  (metal and resin)

Food Set weighs .22 (all metal)

Wire and wooden spools.

My worst complaint, the vent for the resin was a bad cast here.
Word of advice, clip down the middle and work your way in.
Clip a little each time, otherwise you will crack the resin like I did.
(had to fix mine with glue)

Pipe set, very heavy and nice!

Pile of lumber!

Wire spooled up

Another lumber stack

More pipes...

Crates from Warhouse 1

More from 1

Another batch!

And the last from 1

Metal boxes from Warehouse 2

Resin from Warehouse 2

Produce set (should have been Produce and Sea Food)

Baskets of goodies!

Crates of goodies

Fish!

More fish and veggies!

About to start painting these up so look for finished photos soon!

Overall, each set is nice and works for many different games and times. For me this works for Super Heroes, Bolt Action, Strange Aeons, Old West and Pirates as well as Wasteland gaming.

Factory Set: Expensive, but you get a great deal of product for your buck. The only complaint I had is the tabs on the wire spools. The other stuff cleaned up with little to no effort. 4 out of 5 

Warehouse 1 Set: The second most expensive, but again tons of stuff for your money. A good buy. Easy to clean up. 4 out of 5 here,

Warehouse 2 Set: The metal mix is a bit odd, but the set is cheaper and nice. Not as highly recommended as the other set. 3 out of 5 here. Mainly due to metal and resin mixed and not as much cool stuff in this one.

Produce Set: Inexpensive, nice eye candy for the table when painted up. Easy to clean up and I am looking forward to this. 5 out of 5.

More Fins Finished!


Say that 5 times fast! Finally rolled a few more Fins out, still have a large pile sitting on the WIP tray but slowly going down. Oddly, the models are growing faster than I can paint!

Need to touch up the bases again and get the snow that is hanging around the edge but no biggie right now. It is for those lazy nights I don't do anything else.

Converted Panzerfaust amred Fins

My second Flamethrower team

Tank Hunters

More Tank Hunters

Converted Engineers to be more tank hunters

SMGs


More SMGs

Even more SMGs!

SMG and Rifleman
