Hashut’s Blessing:

Ah, even better then! Now, if only I had the spare pocket-change necessary to get some of these guys, lol :smiley:

Xander:

Even more website tuning:

Ooooh, ahhhh! :wink:

Fequiil:

awesome!

and, did i spot it right that you will be doing hobgobbos?!

awesome!

Baggronor:

Goblins, yes. After the basic range of Dwarves are done.

And a big Huzzah for Xander and his website magic!

zobo1942:

Not to nitpick, but there’s a typo - “…So bare with us during this ongoing construction effort.” Should be ‘bear’.

Looks absolutely amazing!

Also: any plans for resin-cast terrain kits?

Baggronor
make that a double-Huzzah!
one for goblins( i never thought i'd ever say this:P) and one for website magic!

Lol already spotted, don't worry.
Also: any plans for resin-cast terrain kits?
This is something I have been considering vaguely, a friend of mine is very knowledgeable about resin; once I have more figures available, its something I want to look into.

Border Reiver:

Now I just need to work up a method of bringing a glorious hat to the Overlord's head...
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lol


Baggronor
Think about a second order - but your greens, once cast are going to be be a hot commodity - I want.

Deragorh:

Awesome models! Have ordered the Overlord and will definitely consider a unit of the warriors.

I’d love to see a model based on your Astragoth artwork

Once the basic selection of characters and rank and file are sorted, the real fun starts :)

Thommy H:

It would be an awesome model, however I’m really happy with the paintjob on my classic Astragoth, so don’t make me replace him…

Skink:

“once the rank and file are done” you said… I know I may sound annoying but… Any progress on your immortal standard bearer & musician?

The basics are done, I'm mainly trying to work out the best way to do the icon itself (ie will it be cast separately or can I do it as one piece, or do I even want to do it as one piece, surely interchangeable icons would be better, etc). I will post more pics at the end of the week, hopefully the two characters will be done by then and the command will look more finished too. As far as releasing them is concerned, I need to do 7-8 figures per mould, so I'll be doing 2 pairs of Command and another Pyromancer plus the two Overlords for a total of 7 with two icons, probably interchangeable. I wish I could do this full time :) but sadly it isn't the case...

Gar Shadowfame:

does it mean that whenever the cast is done all models in the mould are cast as well, or is it possible to cast them separately, cos i fear u might end up with unnecessary larg volume of less desireable models, which would cause u losses, and ur scoulpting is too good to be a burden :stuck_out_tongue:

Bassman:

I suggest a couple of detachable icons. So we are free to switch them to get different combinations or use different pieces if we do not like them (I doubt it is possible to not like them :wink: ).

Take your time, we want to see only the best from you!

We have been waiting for ages a new army from GW we can wait a few weeks for your minis. :smiley:

Yeah, I may end up with that situation, at least initially. Its not toooo bad though, as one sale of the Overlord covers a whole mould of 2 Overlords, 2 Pyromancers and 4 infantry. If one or two figures sell particularly well, I'll get a mould of just those figures made up. But it'll be quite some time before business is booming lol :)

Yep, that's what I thought too. The next question is: Cloth banners or metal icons? Or one of each?

Baggronor
I would say icons. As banners are really esy to sculpt with green stuff and there are plenty of sobstitutes in the warhammer range......
