AvianAnnoyingly they aren't making greenskins first, but these guys really look great.

My Mantic Dwarves may be getting some company.
High quality (though I would have prefered a ball join on the waist), and a reasonable price for the quantity.
Looks to me like this:
Pieces for 4 models contain (all different):
4 x legs
4 x left arm
4 x right arm
4 x torso
6 x 1 handed weapons
1 x 2 handed weapons
6 x heads
6 x slayer hair
60 pieces stated on the video, not sure how many models this makes (as it looks like 20 models would have around 140 pieces minimum)..?
Torso and arms twist at flat join, no tilting.
Heads are a ball join, meaning it can be tilted

175 pieces for 20 models by my count. Very excited about this release! Felix probably meant 60 pieces on each frame.

This is definitely something I will buy. I love AoW today.
When are they being released?

Bob wins!
Bloody hell, more stuff to buy...
I always wanted to do that slayer list from the storm of chaos warhammer supplement so this seems the perfect way to do it without bankrupting myself
Wow.
These are freaking awesome.

Awesome stuff !!!! Go to AOW !!
Woah, these look incredible, and the kit design is superb with all those options.
The 6 optional hairstyles that you can add to the bald heads were the thing that really kicked up this kit up a notch in my eyes... plastic tooling is expensive so it would have been VERY tempting for them to take the ultra-budget route and not provide a decent range of options, but it looks like Felix has just ignored the extra expense and said "I want these top-notch uber-quality". Good choice, and I hope these sell by the bucketload.
Looks better than both GW and mantic models... and both those companies had fantastic looking models available for dwarf berserkers, so this really is a case of taking on something "hard to beat" successfully.
These are a definite buy to go with my mantic dwarfs. Hopefully this will encourage mantic to make more proper kits with lots of options and less of this "2 man sprue" sprue stuff.
By the way, from the AoW site - these will cost 25 euros (£21 / $35) for a regiment set of 20-24 models, or 35 euros (£30 / $49) for a horde box of 32-36 models.
So, a price point about halfway between mantic and GW plastics. Sounds about right.

Very nice! Very good price and after looking at the video, the quality seems to be very high. With lots of different build/pose options.
It's not much expensiver that Mantic Games, but the mini's actually seem to look good!

Very tempting. In contrast to the Mantic models, which a don't like at all, these are actually worth buying. Any idea when these will be released?
ha ha poor GW, they need some catching up to do with Mantic's zombies and AoW's awesome Slayers.
well done Felix and Aow, well done indeed.
Those are looking quite cool.

Amazing. I'll be having two boxes on principle. If we buy them, they make more!
I'm putting 140 Euros on my "don't touch, minis' fund" box next to the work bench...
There. Done.
Now, I really, really, really want the pre-sale and release date to be here soon! Gah... my bday is coming, I need to point people to Felix's wares!
We make the games we want with the fluff we prefer and the models we own, as much as we please.
I just had to quote this!
Wibbly, wobbly, timey... whimey.
Seeing as I've recently started a dwarf army.... Oh... My... *****... Gawd! oO!
Those are amazing, and if the price stays the same, they're a bargain aswell !
I'm definetly getting some!
Good to see more manufacturers entering the plastic market.
I'm not interested in trying to start a dwarf army again, but hopefully they'll release some nice female Dark Elves or something similar.
They are stunning and will be a drain on my funding. Would like to see a size comparison, but slayers always were a bit bigger, so should not be a point. Will buy anyhow just to stimulate more models like this coming out.
This is the way to Karak Kadrin, you could even do some decent doomseekers with a few easy conversions. Love the flexibility.
But what about command options?
With plastic models, it shouldn't be too hard to convert command if there isn't any options.
