Post by: andys on March 25, 2016, 11:19:32 AM

Looks like there have been a few changes at Copplestone:

With the good news that some new figures might be in the works AND there seems to be a price reduction/sale on at the moment  :D

They only take payment by card online though, no paypal  :(

Thanks for the notice! That may give me the bump to buy stuff I probably didn't need  :P

Does anyone own anything from Copplestones Dwarf Range?

I was just wondering how they compared to the original GW Warmaster dwarves? Could they fight side by side or would it look wrong?

I don't know Vos, but I have bought a pile, so you will be able to see soon!

I think I have seen a photo of the copplestone with GW, and they are pretty close.

Cool. Does one blister fill three Warmaster stands?
Let me know when they arrive.

Looks like I've missed the sale though :(

I got my Copplestone Dwarves and we compared them to Vos's GW warmaster Dwarves.

The Copplestone ones are a fair bit taller, and a bit chunkier - you certainly wouldn't want them on the same base. They might work in the same army.  This was a bit of a surprise as most of the other copplestone stuff scales very nicely with GW warmaster.

The Copplestone ones certainly look fine when put against Warmaster human sized figures.

The figures are very nice, very clean sculpts - it would perhaps have been nice to have some command variants between the packs.

I would also like to see some crossbowmen or hand gunners (i.e. a missile unit option) before I bought a load. I think it would be possible to use original dwarf Warmaster war machines with converted warriors as crew.

Personally I wouldn't mix them in the same army - the original Warmaster figures look like gnomes compared to the copplestone dwarves.

Saying that, I do like this range - it just needs a bit more variety to make it an army!
