They look great! I'm always after a proper Gloranthan Troll.

More Glorantha stuff is always welcome. I think I'll hold off until there are some better pictures before I order, though.

Your link in the initial post is broken, btw, or at least it is for me. Here's one that works (I hope! :) -

Link now amended, not sure what happened there.

More pics will go up as we get them.

Just a little bump to remind people, the 10% pre order saving runs until the end of September.

And to add that the final Morokanth sculpt is up, a fine Fellow of a Morokanth in Leather Armour and with twin Cestus.

Hmmm... These are certainly tempting.

Any idea when you might have pics of the other troll sculpts?

In any case, great to see more Gloranthan (and indeed Praxian) goodness...

Oh, and do you by any chance know what happened with the orlanthi box set that was due in february?

Trollpics will be up as soon as Kev Adams sends us them, he is finger deep in putty on now them now as we speak!

The Sartarites from Dish Dash are still due next year sometime.

Well with sculptors at the moment are bison tribesmen (the full warband not just the first one we showed a while back) and then mounted Bison Riders. 6mm Bison Tribe, 6mm Morokanths, 6mm Broos....

Next planned releases after that is another couple of trolls and trollkin (lots of plans for trollkin), another couple of Morokanths to round them out and then onto probably High Llamas or Sable or Impala.

In the longer term as in late next year or so, Lunars, Tusk Riders, Pavisians, Newtlings, Baboons, Chaos critters all are clamouring for us, but no hard decisions have yet been taken.

Awesome!

Wow, thats a pretty long delay for the Sartarites! Chaosium/DishDash should have posted some sort of information on this.

When do you recon the Bisonriders will be out? I love what you have done with the Morokanths and Trolls an I look forward to seeing more!

Latest News, the 3 Kev Adams Trolls are now up on the Runestarter page so you can see the figures. Very true to the artwork Chaosium supplied us with to work from.

Bisonriders are hopefully later this year.

Trolls are looking good. Think I may need to get these...

Looking forward to seeing this range develop.

I'm in! I've been waiting for a proper Gloranthan troll since I was 15 years old, and that is some time! ;)

Got both sets, itching to see what comes next!

Post by: Cultist of Sooty on November 08, 2017, 06:41:27 PM
Any news on these? I'm really looking forward to getting hold of these so I can feel guilty about not quite getting around to painting them.

Er, I mean...
Title: Re: [COMMERCIAL] Gloranthan Miniatures Pre-Order from Rapier Miniatures.
Post by: Severian on November 08, 2017, 07:26:30 PM
Yes, I pre-ordered these and am curious when they're going to join my ranks of half-painted or unpainted Gloranthan guys.

No particular rush, but just curious. And keen to see them in the flesh (well, metal)...

I wish they had some better pictures of the sculpts. They look lovely!
Title: Re: [COMMERCIAL] Gloranthan Miniatures Pre-Order from Rapier Miniatures.
Post by: Wulko on November 10, 2017, 10:40:28 AM
I think they have shipped this week?
I guess backers living in Britain would get them first please write here if you get them so the rest of us will know that they are on their way! :) Also not in a hurry to get them but exited to see them live!!

 My order arrived today - excellent figures, well packed. Those trolls are huge figures, be interesting to see how they scale the trollkin!

Post by: Severian on November 27, 2017, 05:25:36 PM
Good news indeed!

No sign of mine yet, but I'll keep a weather eye out for the postman.

Curious how the trolls look alongside the ones I have from Fenris (which are also huge, and very well done). Some day I should finish painting them...

Mine arrived too, lovely models extremely well packaged - worth every penny.

Don't think any model is under 32mm in height, though still trying to adjust to the Troll in full Beatle Armour.

Almost afraid to try to paint them.

Glad to hear they are out! I'm anxiously awaiting mine.

Glad to hear they're going out. When I get mine, I'll take some pictures alongside the Fenris Miniatures trolls for comparison.

Mine arrived this morning. Lovely figures, and properly Gloranthan in aspect. Trolls are big, though, even compared to the Fenris trolls. But probably compatible, I reckon.

Of course, if like me you've been acquiring Gloranthan oddments from various sources over the years, you've now got trolls (and other things) in a wild variety of sizes and styles.... All to the good, though. The Rapier morokanth are stunning, too; if the range carries on as it's begun, we're in for a treat.

Now of course I need to paint them...

Here are a couple of quick comparison pics.

First, l-r, Fenris dark troll, Citadel mistress race troll, Rapier dark troll. The bases on all except the Citadel one are just pro tem.

Second, l-r, Rapier cave troll, Citadel cave troll.

That Citadel Cave Troll is a midget! Somebody didn't check the source material... lol

It's great to finally see proper photos of some of them. Not sure the trolls work for me, somehow. Looking forward to seeing pics of the Morokanth!
