What started as a part-time personal project, has been shaping into something much bigger than I would have ever expected :shock:

The recent times have made it very clear that our current infrastructure is totally insufficient to meet in a timely manner the demand of AoW miniatures. I am very glad to announce that to that end, AoW is moving to a brand new & bigger location, with bigger offices and a bigger studio. And what is the main reason for moving, with our own casting facility to move production of the miniatures in-house, allowing us to grow our production capability to a much bigger size!
Finally, the new premises have also a pretty big gaming area :P , where we plan to do in the future open events for Arena DeathMatch like tournaments, ...
All in all it is a very exciting move for us! :cheers:

The downside, is that we'll be pushing the release of new figures until we are totally set up in the new premises and the new in-house casting facility is up & running. I believe this will take close to two months time.
Current and standing orders will be served as usual, if we run out of stock of a model before the in-house casting starts, we'll remove that model from the online shop. This means that only orders for models in stock will be accepted, so they will be served pretty fast. Of course once we start casting in-house all items will be very soon back in stock.
ALL pending pre-orders (Thunderlord and Goblin King) will have shipped by next week (most of them have already shipped).

We still have to decide if pushing the release of Arena DeathMatch as well, but as printing of the rulebook is done by an external printer the move does not affect the game release so much.

This is a very important step in our plans for the future of AoW, as otherwise AoW could simply not grow any further!

Again thanks so much to all of you! Without your continued support this would have never been possible! :thumright:

This is great news! :D
Doing your own casts sounds like a big plus for you guys given some of the problems you've been having. It'll be worth the wait to get it up and running I'm sure.

:applause: This sounds like a big step in the right direction for AoW, congratulations to the whole team :applause:

Good question indeed.

Gratz Felix AoW is rising up!! :applause: :applause:

I have a question, what you told about the ships means that the Thunderlord and GobKing won't be available in the shop untill AoW moves to the new in-house??

I'm very glad to hear that you are getting a chance to grow.
Because you're shaping up to be a great company!!

Best of luck with the moving process, and let's hope that you can still find some time for sculpting in between. :!: :!: :wink:
