Do you want to see only new minis, or repaints of existing minis?

Do you want to see only new miniatures in future releases of Wings of War, or would you like to see new paint schemes for existing miniatures?

I would like to see them add more new planes over the next few series and then maybe release some repaints after that.

I'm actually for repaints as well. They would be able to bring more minis to the stores faster if they did this. Sure, they would be the same planes as we already have, but it would give some verity and could be a faster way to generate funds for them to use towards making new things for us.

Another thought would be for them to run the repaints as limited editions. They could run one plane a month and we would be all over that and they would have a steady income over the course of the year.

It doesn't matter if it's new or a repaint, because it's coming home with me. I had to vote for both.

**Angiolillo** · 11-01-2009 00:23

I am personally favourable to repaints and I asked for them fo years - let's see when NG will agree. Less so for limited editions - there have bee already crazy prices on Ebay for Richthofen's D.I that's always reprinted. I wish that eveybody could buy everything with calm, also time after the release, at the official price. The only limited editions that I like are golden SPAD and silver D.Va to be used as prizes in tournaments and such.
Repaints are easier and quicker of course, they would not delay new minis.

I'm hoping for some more default paint schemes with decals included in the box that you can apply yourself to make each one unique.
There are too many planes based on various aces for my taste, at the moment.

I voted for "Both" like it says never can have enough mini's. Also, if they want to save a bit on cost why not release them as undecorated, make them a tad bit cheaper for those of us who don't mind spending the time painting them. I personally would buy more of them and do up complete historical squadrons.

I know that one can buy duplicates and just strip them down but that's an extra step in my book.

yup I agree would be great idea. I voted for both. I want new planes but having repaints also gret. I want to do the Flying circus and I'd need alot of the Fokker Dr 1 painted up differently to make this work.

I'm the same, I want to be able to fly large historic squadrons too. I'd like it if there was extra colour scheams for the existing minis, or the option of producing unpainted minis that you can paint your self.

I voted for new minis. But cheaper, unpainted, old models for selfpainting would be nice, too.

**Doug** · 11-04-2009 02:30

I voted for new minatures. Repaints is something that can be done by yourself (or in my case my eldist son) sure you may make some stuff ups on the way but that is part of the hobby. It's the new aircraft models I want!

**Roger Wilco** · 11-05-2009 17:02

I voted for new minis only too! Thats because I would rather have a wide range of different aircraft to use. When it comes to repaints, I would rather do it myself, the planes are relatively small and are easy enough to repaint if you stick to some fairly basic schemes and there are plenty of after market decals to use including losenge patterns, you just have to look for them. If you want NG to do repaints, you run the risk of them taking resources away from making new models.

**bsmith13** · 11-06-2009 08:06

Just a quick point for your consideration, even though you all have already voted. It costs a great deal of money for a company to create a tool for a miniature. Once that tool is created, the cost of the miniature can be lowered if a longer lifespan is planned. So a Fokker DR1 that would be released in multiple series with more than 3 paint schemes would theoretically lower the end price of the final product.

I see it as giving them more resources, cash flow, to help increase the line. The repaints would require very little up font money to get started since they have already covered the cost of every thing but the materials to manufacture the repaints, and the labor of the new paint jobs. If they released just primed planes, they would not have any painting labor either. This would greatly increase the profit margin on every plane type they produce.

**Greywolf** · 11-06-2009 09:37

I'd be keen for some primed planes so I could do my own repaints. even if they did a plane pack for example. 1-2 planes plus some paints in the German or allied colours. a leaflet that has some pics of planes or to keep the costs down a list of websites that have pics of planes that could used.

just an idea.....

I agree with Rodger on this point. I think Nexus has done a good job of covering the later part of the war, but I like the early part of the war and cannot wate for the series five miniatures. there again there is the financial side of the debate which cannot be ignored which will make the most money for Nexus game. My view is that it is with more different minatures and not repaints!
