No official WoW artwork available right now. Sorry.


Note that these images are not necessarily the paint jobs that will be on the minis, I just wanted to show what the plans look like as already drawn for WoW.

Some new artwork sent to by by Andrea, enjoy:

[WilliamBarkerVC]

Excellent news. The DH2 and the EIII are some of the iconic early planes that defined this period, can't wait to get them in mini form!

[Seiseki]

Yeah nice to see some planes from an earlier period of the war.

[Doug]

They just what I want so every encouragment must be given to the manufactures to produce them. I will be after 2 of each at least

[Zeppelin]

Can't wait to buy these.

[bsmith13]

Can't wait! I have something of a collector's mania, and these will hit the spot.

[Naharaht]

I imagine that the DH2's tail assembly will be quite fragile and we will have to be very careful taking it out of the box.

When will we be getting a Bristol F2b Fighter, I wonder?

[Oberst Hajj]

Naharaht, Andrea recently told me that the Bristol F2B Fighter will be released as a card in the Hit & Run booster pack. Look for it to come out between Series 4 and Series 5 miniatures.

Bring on the Brisfits!:)

[rapier1642]

Im very much looking forward to the early fighters as well. But i am especially looking forward to the Brisfit

[Dimetri1]

Looking forward to the early planes. Especially the DH.2. I wish there was a Sopwith Triplane. :(

[krolik]

Looking forward to the early planes. Especially the DH.2. I wish there was a Sopwith Triplane. :(

Play a Dr.I with a "B" gun.

[Dimetri1]

Play a Dr.I with a "B" gun.
I want a model.

[Oberst Hajj]

I want a model.

Don't we all!

[The Blue Baron]

Don't we all!

Yes!!!

[krolik]

Don't we all!

I don't.

I've already got one.:D

[Doug]

I know that Pendraken miniature make a bisfit in 10mm scale. I have not seen it but it may be worth looking at.

[Jäger]

Nice pioneer-era planes, Halberstad III sounds most interesting. Early fighters weren't fast so there won't be any miracle movers. And that DH.2 may really be quite fragile...

[StormforceX]

DH 2, my favourite plane, can't wait!

[Manners]

I want an Airco - bigtime!

[Doug]

Col with all the other new releases planed for the year (as welcome as they are) when are we going to see the release of the Series 5 miniatures with the DH2; & Fockker Einedeckers, as these are the models I am wating for the most?:confused:

[Oberst Hajj]

I would say late 4th quarter based on their "schedule"... personally I would say 1st quarter of next year. I sure hope they prove me wrong though!

[Doug]

Thanks Col that is bad news:mad:

[ego]

Thanks Col that is bad news:mad:

On the contrary: I am glad that so many pßrojects are in the pipeline and hope for more to come.
Of course I am as impatient as anybody else to put the new modells into use on the table.

But the important thing is the will come .... someday.....

[RickMartin]

Fantastic! My wallet can hardly wait!

[Kaledor]

Awesome find!!

Cheers,
Ed

[Coog]

I would say late 4th quarter based on their "schedule"... personally I would say 1st quarter of next year. I sure hope they prove me wrong though!

Based on what I've seen over the past few years, I'd say the first quarter of next year is being very optimistic. I would guess the third quarter at best. It would be interesting to have an inside view to see how things are done at Nexus and the manufacturer in China.

I agree - the Nexus schedule is so far out of reality, that one can never actually plan around it. I too wonder how Nexus works with it.

Not that it's the end of the world, I always end up buying whatever they put out.

[Timothy Pray]

I'm more excited about this set than any set so far. I wonder who the pilots will be. The Eindeckers? Udet, Immelmann, Boelke? Andrea was looking for info from Greg VanWyngarten and Dan-San at the aerodrome about the Halberstadt back in 07. Who would be good for the Morane Saulnier N's? Roland Garros? Lanoe Hawker is a sure thing for the D.H.2 but i dont know who else. Ideas? Andrea, have any decisions been made?

[AlgyLacey]

DH.2 aces

Distinguished pilots of the DH.2 included Victoria Cross winner Lanoe Hawker (eight victories), who was the first commander of No 24 Squadron and ace Alan Wilkinson. The commander of No. 32 Squadron, Lionel Rees won the Victoria Cross flying the D.H.2 for single handedly attacking a formation of 10 German two-seaters on 1 July 1916, destroying two.[7] James McCudden became an ace in DH.2s to start his career as the Commonwealth's fourth ranking ace of the war.[13]

German ace and tactician Oswald Boelcke was killed during a dogfight with No. 24 Squadron D.H.2s, however, this was due to a collision with one of his own wingmen, Erwin Böhme.

Fourteen aces scored five or more aerial victories using the DH.2; many went on to further success in later types also. They are listed below, followed by the number of their victories in the DH.2:[14]

* Patrick Anthony Langan-Byrne -->10 victories
* Alan Wilkinson --> 10 victories
* Selden Long --> 9 victories
* Arthur Gerald Knight --> 8 victories
* Eric C. Pashley --> 8 victories
* John Oliver Andrews --> 7 victories
* Sidney Cowan --> 7 victories
* Hubert Jones --> 7 victories
* William Curphey --> 6 victories
* Stanley Cockerell --> 5 victories
* Henry Evans --> 5 victories
* James McCudden --> 5 victories
* Robert Saundby --> 5 victories
* Harry Wood --> 5 victories[15]

[tuladin]

So far almost all of the miniatures have been based on previously published cards. Almost all examples of these planes are in the the Immelmann pack (there are 4 unknown pilot Halberstadts in Watch Your Back.)

Here's the list:

Fokker E.III
Max Immelmann
Ernst Udet
Hans Joachim Buddecke
Ludwig Hautzmayer (A.III)
Marko Parvanov
Max Immelmann (E.IV)
Oswald Boelke (E.IV)
Otto Parschan (E.IV)

RAF D.H.2
Lanoe George Hawker
John Oliver Andrews
Robert Henry Magnus Spencer Saundby
William George Sellar Curphey

Morane Saulnier Type N
Jean Navarre
Eugene Gilbert
Jean Chaput
Tone Hippolyte Paul Bayetto
N. P. Kisilevich

Halberstadt D.III
Otto Bernert
4 unknown pilots

[LeBru]

I don't have the immelmann pack yet. Could someone tell me what the damage deck, hit points, and movement decks are for those?

[IRM]

Fokker E.III:11 hits, B damage, P-deck (~ slow Nieuport)
A.III is the same, E.IV uses the G-deck and has either AB damage (draws both A and B card) or A damage.
Halberstadt D.III:14 hits, mostly B damage (one A), G-deck (~slow Spad)
Morane-Saulnier:10 hits, B damage, P-deck
Airco DH2:13 hits, B damage, G-deck

By slow I mean around half a card length straights, and all of the above have terrible climb rates (5-6).

[LeBru]

Thanks!

[Mike George]

YES YES YES YES I might have to buy some of these.

[wargamer]

Will have to get some of these... budget is gonna be evil tho....

[Timothy Pray]

McCudden would be nice for the D.H.2, even though he isn't a card yet. Immelmann Boelke and Udet are all so similar for the Eindeckers, it seems like it would be nice to have some variance.

[Oberst Hajj]

Andrea sent me some new artwork of the Type N... it's been added to the first post. Enjoy!

Thanks for the posting Col.
Whets the old appitite. What.

[Oberst Hajj]

I just hope we don't starve to death waiting on them! lol

[Tomitchoe]

It really looks very promessing. I Can't wait to start flying these planes when they come out.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

As you may have noticed, i am laying in stores of Skytrex to tide me over the famine.:)
Rob.

[bsmith13]

In this case, I approve of snacking before the main course is served...this looks great!

[Aero825]

To be honest, I like the later planes better than the early ones, but that's just me:).

Hunter

[Timothy Pray]

I am so excited about these planes! I really would like to see who has been chosen as the pilots, or who is being discussed. In the D.H.2s Lanoe Hawker is an obvious choice. I really want to point out the merits of including James T. B. McCudden.
McCudden became an ace flying the DH 2. He is the only one who did so and remained a top ace at the end of the war. Although he was killed on 9 July 1918 at the ripe old age of 23, his tally of 56 victories seats him 7th among all WWI pilots. McCudden and his 56th Squadron are responsible for downing the great Verner Voss in what may be described as the most incredible single dogfight in all of history. This guy should be included in the game, and his only other main type of plane is the Se5a, which has already been done as a model. There is a limited number of famous aces for whom the DH 2 was an important aircraft. Let's make James T. B. McCudden's plane one of the 3 Airco D.H. 2 models in Wings of War.
I love this game. Thank you for making it! ~Tim

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Hunter
Don't worry Hunter, they are an aquired taste. They will just sneak up on you like the Red Barron,and before you know it you will be hooked.;)
Rob.

[check6]

I think the attraction lies in that they are so wonky looking, that they actually become beautiful.

Dont know how good the info is but looks good

[DaveZee]

I'm so happy to have more early planes to choose from for our campaign (where you must begin with an early war plane and progress to later war planes). I know this is a silly question, but any idea when these will be released? Before or after the bombers?

[Wolfbiter]

Looking at the performance database, I'm pleased that the Allied and German planes in this set seem pretty close to each other in performance. Like Dave Zee, I'd like to get a couple so we can run some "early war" dogfights. Of course, I may simply buy whichever has the coolest paint schemes. :D

But I'm thinking one Halberstadt and one DH2 would be nice for me.

[Boney10]

oh dear need more overtime, want want when when, I just got a couple of Skytrex eindekkers too, but will still have these.
Any news of the big bombers in mini?

[Hamburger]

Yea! EIII's!

[tonyc206]

Going on release rates so far I wouldn't expect to see these before Sept 2011. This is the only problem with WoW. The mini's are so slow to be released and they don't produce enough so stocks don't last and we have to wait months for reprints.

That's why I'll be getting in as soon as they are released for 6 of each (except the Morane)

[Artack]

I agree with the earlier post this will allow for a campaign that can go from early to late.

Everything looks good but if they DON'T have a E.III flown by Oswald Boelke I'll be VERY disappointed.:eek:

[Dom S]

Well the list's further up this thread, and the E.IIIs are Immelman, Buddecke and Hautzmayer, so....

[Mike White]

Well the list's further up this thread, and the E.IIIs are Immelman, Buddecke and Hautzmayer, so....

so ...... it's buy an extra one and do a repaint!!!

[Dom S]

Actually, now that I think about it I'm not sure I've ever seen photos of a Boelcke E.III, so do we know what it looked like? (His two-gun E.IV was certainly photographed, and I think his first E.I was, but I'm not at all sure if he flew an actual E.III, or whether it's appearance is known if so.) So if anybody has pictures, please share.... :D

[Edit] On reflection it's pretty much impossible to tell an E.II from an E.III at this scale, so doing a repaint as E.II 37/15 which was Boelcke's before he left FA62 and Immelman "inherited" it would be easy enough, but truth be told it's an utterly boring looking machine, with standard crosses on white squares and no personal markings whatsoever, so not exactly exciting to look at....

[Doug]

I want all 3 of the DH2's and Focker Eideckers. Just to keep my collection up I will get 1 of each of the other. So Nexus I have the money now give me the planes (frustrated bit tired of wating)

[Dom S]

Steady on old chap - we've only just had Series 4....

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Steady on old chap - we've only just had Series 4....
You know what it is like Dom. Now they have tasted blood.........:D

[tonyc206]

Yes and one release a year with stock that runs out in a few days/weeks with no re-print dates in sight leaves one a little frustrated.

Wouldn't be so bad if they released 12 different plane types each time, and had loads of stock available. Unpainted with separtate decals sets too. Oh joy, the mere thought of it makes me............aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Obviously hallucinating. Too many sorties at high altitude. Take some blighty leave!!

Come on Tony snap out of it !!

Sorry it the tablets........:eek:

[Doug]

I will be buy at least 3 of the DH2's and 3 Focker Endeckers. What with the WW1 bomber it will be a costly year. Dog and Cat will have to go on 1/2 rations come to think of it so will I.

[Timothy Pray]

My goodness these look so beautiful. I am really ready to do a chronological campaign for WoW starting with these planes. We would eventually be missing Albatros D.II's on the Central Powers side and SPAD VII's on the Allies side. N.16's are done and we have cards for N.11's. Although I dislike Skytrex models a lot their N.11 is pretty good, and I have one built. What else for 1915 and 1916.
~Tim

[Shiraz68]

Is there any update on when the Series 5 miniatures are due for release. I have only just seen and bought the Series 4 aircraft.

thanks

Adie

[Shiraz68]

Message deleted - due to having posted duplicated previous post.

[Wodin]

Oh fantastic...the Airco and EIII are the planes I wanted the most...just spent an hour looking at the Skytex planes...but the thought of building and painting put me off....then by chance I came to this thread to see some pics of the mini's due out...and here they are...

The Immelmann add on is the first thing I will buy after the deluxe turns up.

[IRM]

They're actually two of their better kits. I've got a few of their DH2s sitting in front of me, waiting for a lick of paint (got a bit sidetracked with other projects). I thought they might have been a bit fragile just looking at them but they're pretty sturdy and fairly easy to put together. I think the Eindecker only needs its undercarriage and prop attached.

[RonaldRS]

:)got to get tham!!!!!!!!!nice!!!!!!!:)

[Jäger]

Did the Austrian have Halberstadt fighters? The D.III was so rare.

[The Cowman]

I have no clue how I missed the pictures... Hopefully they will be released in the U.S. before the Major cons... can hardly wait!

[yancey5]

I would offer a big time yes to EIII and DH2. Early war seems to have been ignored so far, give us 1914-1915 now!

[Jager]

Did the Austrian have Halberstadt fighters? The D.III was so rare.

According to the listing in Hostile Aircraft (Goblintooth Games) (the only source I can get my hands on right now), the answer is no. They used Fokker Es, Albatros D2 and D3 (the latter, IMS, was made locally with licence) and their indigenous aircraft, Hansa-Brandenburg, Aviatik and Phonix.
Karl

[Burt]

Got tired of waiting so I've just ordered a couple of Eindekers and DH2's from Skytrex.
Will still buy the WOW ones when they come out though.
Don

[green dragon]

I jumped the gun about a year ago and picked up some Eindeckers and DH2s. My first EIII was from Reviresco. Nice kit, but the landing gear was a bit weak. The Skytrex EIII and DH2 were nice and sturdy (Reviresco didn't have a DH2 then). One neat part about Reviresco's EIII was the cable holes in the wings. I decided to give it a shot, put together some cable supports out of brass wire, and strung them up. The result was not too bad. I plan to do the same to the Skytrex kit as time permits, will have to drill holes and build another set of supports, but it's pretty simple. The photo shows all four kits. To date our group has added four more EIIIs for a total of 6. They actually do quite well, and I have yet to score a kill with the DH2.

Tally Ho!

[IRM]

They look great. I picked up a few of each of the Skytrex ones too, but I'll be replacing them with the official models when they appear.

[Du doch nicht!]

They look good indeed! Though i will stay with the WOW-ones. I received some series 4 planes and have still to get the new 2-seaters. The Eindecker and the DH2 will have to wait a bit ;-)

[Naharaht]

You could always use the F-toys models of the Spad VII, Tim.

[Burt]

You could always use the F-toys models of the Spad VII, Tim.

If you can find any F toys planes, they seem to be as rare as hens teeth now.

Don

[Naharaht]

There are usually a few F-toys planes for sale on eBay but the price has increased.

[gully_raker]

Great news Ernie, I was in contact with Angellio on the WW1 Aerodrome Forum & he told me the Tripehound will be in Series 6.
Guess we have a while to wait seeing Series 5 wont be out for a few months yet.

[jbmacek]

What's this? The DH.2 and early war planes! Awesome! I've been kicking around the idea of building a Skytrex or Reviresco DH.2, but considering this thread, I suppose I could hold out a while longer and get the WoW version.

And I too would jump at a chance to have blank WoW planes to paint myself. I love pre-painted minis, but I love painting minis too, and I suspect I'll try my hand at WWI planes ere long.

[Oberst Hajj]

We might get Series 5 for Christmas :(

[jbmacek]

Wow. If so, it sounds like I'll have some time to collect some of the earlier series. Of course, the planes I really want, like Brumowski's, don't seem to be readily available anymore.

[gully_raker]

Fokker E.III:11 hits, B damage, P-deck (~ slow Nieuport)
A.III is the same, E.IV uses the G-deck and has either AB damage (draws both A and B card) or A damage.
Halberstadt D.III:14 hits, mostly B damage (one A), G-deck (~slow Spad)
Morane-Saulnier:10 hits, B damage, P-deck
Airco DH2:13 hits, B damage, G-deck

By slow I mean around half a card length straights, and all of the above have terrible climb rates (5-6).

Yeah but dont they Turn Tightly!

[wargamer]

We might get Series 5 for Christmas :(

Oh, good, did they specify which century?

[Shiraz68]

We might get Series 5 for Christmas :(

But what year?

[greenalfonzo]

When are we going to see the paint schemes for these? Early war doesn't interest me much, I'll probably get all of the Halberstadts (if the schemes are cool) and one each of the rest.

[Jäger]

Same here, I'm really anxious to see paint schemes, especially Halberstadt fighters. They have done the prototype models, now bring us more eye candy!

[yancey5]

Let's get that Series 5 in production! I have a B damage deck that is screaming for attention!!

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Now that the Deluxe set is finally here in Blighty we can transfer all our angst onto this thread.

Come on Nexus!!!!!:D

Rob.

[Mike White]

Oh yes indeedy!! I want Series 5 [and I only picked up the deluxe edition today!] BUT I must also say something I've said before ... bring on the Brisfits!!!

I wish there was a Sopwith Triplane. :(

Don

Glued togerther a couple of Skytrex E111's today, very little to assemble at all, just fit the undercarriage and glue on the prop and there you are. No trouble just a few swear words a bit of sweat and a couple of fingers stuck together.
Now to try the DH2's, not quite so easy but I think I can manage even with my bad eyes and thick fingers.
Don

[Aero825]

Originaly, I thought I wouldn't like these early planes, but those new picks got me hooked!

[Chisco]

Arrival in march, april? later?

[Oberst Hajj]

The official release date is "When they come out" :(

[Dom S]

Yep, and when there *is* an official release date, the reality will still be "when they come out"....

[Chisco]

:D still waiting...

[Bluedevil]

Aren't we all?!:rolleyes:

[tonyc206]

My money is on; "you'll be lucky if they come out this side of xmas"

[Boney10]

Ah but which Xmas

[Diamondback]

It's probably on the "Blizzard Entertainment Calendar", which means take your Worst-Case Scenario estimate short of "CANCEL" and triple it... (think StarCraft II development timeline)

[MayorJim]

The official release date is "When they come out" :(

LOL!! Isn't that too true...my money is that they'll be out before the DoW 3 series...March ' ish of '11

[jbmacek]

I could really use those early planes for the first scenario I have worked up for our big game on Saturday. Alas... we'll just have to use the cards.

[Nipotra Paul]

I have already seen the miniatures of the prototypes of the Caproni Ca3 and of the Gotha
Paolo

[Shiraz68]

Now I really would like to know when the Caproni & Gotha are coming out - but I have a feeling I already know the answer LOL :confused:

hey! what did u get in the deluxe edition?

[Oberst Hajj]

Just added the preview artwork for the DH.2 to the first post.

[jbmacek]

Looking good! But I still may buy a Reviresco.

So...looks like sometime after June 2011...but no bets on that! ;-0

I reckon if you put aside the money for a set of Series V models in a decent bank account, the intrest accrued before they are released would pay for a Gotha :)

LOL!!! David, you make a great point...add in putting aside a few pennies for the boosters, and DoW sets coming out and you might be able to purchase a REAL Gotha...museum quality (or at least the fuel to run it) ;-)

[Diamondback]

Stop thinking small... a Staaken, if you invested right (and that's still going with "conservative" investments)! Or even a fully functional reconstruction of L59...

[The Red Baron]

Wish they could get them out faster and I wholeheartedly agree with making McCudden's plane.

[MayorJim]

Just added the preview artwork for the DH.2 to the first post.

Keith,
Thanks for the updated pics...the Airco DH-2 might become my favorite...great field of fire there!

[Dom S]

Bear in mind DH2 pilots did know it not altogether affectionately as the Spinning Incinerator.... ;). Against Eindekkers it was pretty lethal, but after that it was rather badly outclassed. Fun looking thing though; pusher and booms does make for a quaint looking thing, and not so ungainly as the Fee.

I'm bumping this because I think that it's about time we see the rest of the artwork/schemes/pilots for the entire series! What's the hold up? Has there really been this little news since Feb.?

Supposedly they're coming, now, in September. That's the rumor. But, we're past the bombers release of June...still no bombers. However, they keep stringing this along, how far back does this thread go? Right, I'll believe them when I see them out and on the shelves! No more BS!!

September?!? And yet not even any artwork for the halberstadt at all? I'm with you on believing it when I see it!

[Mike George]

I going to get the complete set.

[Oberst Hajj]

No, Series 5 is not supposed to be out in Sept. We currently have no set or probable release date for Series 5. The only new planes we are supposed to get before the end of the year are the Bombers. Series one reprint/new versions should be here in Sept.

[flyingryno]

Looking Good!! Now to start with earlier Waves. I got a lot of catching up to do. Wave 5? Right now I got 0 minis.

[Diamondback]

We don't even know there's gonna be a Series 5 this year with Nexus doin' the House Of Cards thing...

[Dorb]

Gotta stay the course. Fingers crossed.

[batesyboy]

The early bird releases could prove to be the most popular series of all !
I already have a card model Be2c available on here... Check out `Be2c Freebie !!!` entry #17 for the link
I have an Fe2b, Halberstadt D2, RAF FE8, and three DH2`s and an eindecker, ready for their arrival....
now back to waiting !

Ooops almost forgot the Gunbus !

[Naharaht]

You have a good collection there, Lee.

[petitbilbo]

What's the small orange thingie in the middle?

:confused:

[va beach ace]

okay a stupid question, are these planes still gonna be released to buy? right? and after reading I can guess not in the near future? so another question is there a good place to buy other models of these planes?
bob

[mtyree1972]

I would expect yes, assuming all the information is accurate, these will be released. Now when, that's an entirely different question. I would say delayed, and that's the best guess. I wouldn't have the foggiest idea when they might hit. As for minis from elsewhere, I believe Reviresco and Skytrex both carry them. I personally have no experience with either line, but many people here do.

[va beach ace]

thanks, I really love these planes, I buy them when ever I run across them. so if we do get new one GREAT

Oh, where did you find him. I'm guessing a cereal box (I think I remember them being there back in the 60s).

I don't suppose you have it on file, and might want to share?
Be interesting to come up with stats. esp since they didn't use MGs (if I remember the cartoon right). Or at least not much of the time.
Karl

[macka321]

Karl I think they used just about everything including MG's trying to stop that pigeon.
The stats for tennis raquetts and nets will be interesting.
