Like the Orkish ones, and the old veteran guy is nice though he appears to be wanking.
The elf would be nice if he had an arrow. The bow is bent, the fingers are curled, he should have an arrow. Most others I've seen will have the fingers straight and less curve to the bow as if he had just released the arrow.

Vince cool glad you like some of them..the old guy has his thumb hooked in his belt but 2 more inches to right i think youre right ;)..the elf with a arrow would look good but nigh impossible it would never withstand vulcanization..or be so thick it would look like a broomstick..but definitely potential for a nice arrow and proper bowstring from wire so good call there thanks pal.

Very nice...Primeval will love that barbarian! I like the knight statues, and have just the dungeon to put them in too! Can you cast those in a stone colored resin and save us all some painting time? ;)

Hi grumb yes you know primeval((Kev)) hes wild about the barbs ;) hehe.. I dont know about resin its pretty pricey to have cast..like double the cost in molds but if we go to DragonCon I could paint you a couple on the spot :)..they actually come with a separate pedestal for each so you can do them as statues or regular suits of armor or guards http://wyrd-games.net/images/icons/icon10.gif


Thanks Vikey I think the line is coming along pretty good just getting a feel for what everyone likes ..I think the options are a big bonus like the halforc with 3 variations..battle ax..2 handed sword and double ended ax hands... I probably should do mockups with them attached..I know myself like to see the options before buying..seems the barbarian will be finding some homes soon..hes a big rascal like they should be around 7 feet.

:thsigns05

Grumb is talking about resins, not plastics. Resins can be cast in moulds made for metal (vulcanised, ...), they can even be cast in low grade RTV moulds. Plastics on the other hand need steel moulds, and in that case, it's not x2, but more like x1000. Maybe you meant production costs since resin often gets bubbles and it does cost more than metal.

Back on topic, Korg the half ogre barbarian is nice, very "Heresy" in style. The female deathknight has great details. The vampire is well sculpted but a bit lacking of character in the design IMHO. The knights/statues can indeed make good terrain pieces.

And please, one day get rid of the broccoli bases ;).

Thanks for the compliment. I agree with you on the lacking something. Though at the time I did it it was pretty much the top of my skill (what would that be about 2 years back?) If I would do her again I would have done her differently. Still parts on her I'm happy with, others less so. A well live and learn ;)

greenstuff..yes the pricing on resin was what I meant..terribly high..glad some of the greens appeal to you..the brocolli base Jason Wiebe did I agree with I dont care for them either its Reapers standard look in the Dark Heaven line since Jason sculpts for them also I guess its a standard way he does them..


Cindy well Im happy with her the extended dress really makes her flow..I think finding someone who can do see thru style of painting..like skin under silk..will make her shine:)

Very nice Mick. Korg is on my must get list. The statues are nice as is the dude with the helm in hand. Now how soon before I can get my hands on them?
