I’ve ordered 2 loads of stuff from toyarmies.com, and both arrived quite quickly, and the casting by Russian Alternative is brilliant.
They use a resin that is miles beyond finecast. It’s better than Forgeworld resin by a longshot. It’s hard without being brittle. Very little flash, no miscasts in either of my orders. A couple small surface bubbles, but limited to maybe 2 figures out of the 70 I’ve received. Btw, the figs I ordered were the Marauders. In the process of making a new Warriors list, and I threw out all my Warriors in order to take Marauders. Stupid I know, but bbbbbbbbeautiful models.
Their metal fgs are a little less perfect, but still totally top quality stuff.
Is there an ETA on the dwarf sculpts being cast by Russian Alternative? I know they just put out the daemonsmith-like model, but I hadn’t heard of the regular infantry until seeing them here. Very cool work!
I like the look of these minis. They fit in nicely with the Forgeworld CDs.
My one reservation is that the last time I made an order from a source in the Russian Federation, I got screwed. Once bitten, twice shy.

Honestly, that's why I did 2 orders. The first was a small one in case my money disappeared, and the second was the bulk of what I wanted.
Like I mentioned above, both arrived very quickly, in perfect order, and the figs are beyond fantastic.
Don't blame me if something goes wrong, but I've had nothing but a really positive experience with toyarmies.com. They even added Canada to their list of shipping destinations just for me. A+ service, A+++ Figs.
2) I was drawn by those pics in the beginning of this thread, but I don't see them for sale anywhere. That "dwarf of fire canyon" is pretty bitchin, but if I'm placing an order I'd prefer to hit all of them in one swoop. Is this possible, or do I have to wait for them to be cast, or are they even going to be cast?

You can ask not to turn my blog into a discussion of modeling stores. dwarfs with concepts will cast, but they should first sculpted. Only 3 of them finished. There will be five bodies and 10 heads. And command group.
