Title: Forge of Doom sneak peek
Post by: Arthadan on June 27, 2018, 09:40:07 PM
Let me show you some upcoming miniatures sculpted by Boris Woloszyn. These will be produced in metal, but we're not there yet. We have some spare resin copies, by the way.

Hope you like them!

Have you read through the thread on the Commercial forum (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=108748.0)?
Some more info to be found in there.

I will not be able to get my hand in my pocket fast enough once these are available.

I love the Thulsa Doom model and the guy with the huge hammer (in the other thread (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=108748.0)). Keep us posted when these become available.

Thanks for your comments!

We are working on new poses for the three resin troop types. Hopefully, we'll have something new to show you in some weeks.

Conversions have been made also by the original sculptor, Boris Woloszyn.

Superb conversions! Like the poses and the weapons.

Really like the movement in those. 'Produced in metal' you say? Hrmmmm... I have no idea what I can use them for but I suddenly need them for something.

The range is best suited for skirmish games. Think of Song of Blades and Heroes, Brink of Battle, Frostgrave and the like.

These are some of my favorite fantasy sculpts in recent times. Using the 30mm base as a measure, they seem like they may be 32mm scale that would work with my Reaper/large fantasy collection. I'd like to see a comparison pic with these beside some other ranges.

I still don't have a release date, I'll keep you informed.

Absolutely fantastic. Get a sorcerer or other wizardly type in this style and I'm 100% in as a Mordheim Possessed warband.
Title: Re: Forge of Doom sneak peek
Post by: Arthadan on October 18, 2018, 08:06:12 PM
I'm afraid the initial release of 13 models doesn't include a sorcerer type, but there are plans for some priests/wizards in the future.

Metal test castings are here! Hopefully, we'll be opened for business in some weeks!

Looking good! I'm in for a set...no pun intended!
Title: Re: Forge of Doom sneak peek
Post by: iPaint on December 02, 2018, 07:46:23 PM
These look stellar! Can see myself grabbing some for several different game systems.

The only concern I'd have is if the models are not packaged and shipped carefully, several of the weapons will either bend/break/warp due to how thin the cast piece appears. The spear, bow, and the two handed axe are all very thin metal bits.

Hopefully that's taken into consideration.

We do hope to be open for business before Christmas, but I cannot tell for sure yet.
The miniatures will be shipped in thick cardboard boxes, properly protected. No worries!

THE WAIT IS OVER!!
The doors of the Forge are open and to celebrate this glorious event we are giving away some free miniatures!
The first 15 orders will get a free resin miniature (as you know, we only do metal, but these are what's left of a limited run).

I had that yesterday too, but it was back to working this morning now it's broken again.

I'm not usually into pure fantasy (as opposed to folklore) stuff - but these are so much on another level I couldn't help grabbing a bunch (when the site was working).

I love to to order them but checking out through the web store is proving to be an issue.

I was also unable to access the website. :(

I got in fine, but my brother tried to access the site (I sent him the link) and it said it wasn't secure and blocked him.

Hi guys!

Sorry for not answering before, these days have been very busy for me packing orders and shipping them.  I know there are some issues with the website. I have made a post in the Facebook group addressing them, here it is:

Quote
Q&A about the website:
1) Is it safe?
Yes, it is. We have run several online tests with good result. For example: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html… (this may take a while).
Also, we have the payment gateway running smoothly, and I can tell you banks are quite picky about the security of the websites they connect to.

2) Why can't I connect to the website?
To my (limited) understanding the problem is our payment gateway is designed to run on a dedicated server (which would be quite expensive), so our webmaster has needed to make a custom configuration of the security certificate. Some internet providers filter the security of the pages you connect to, they detect we don't have a standard configuration and automatically send you an error.
So it's not your device and not your browser, it depends on your internet provider.

3) When will I be able to connect to your website?
While we have identified the problem, there is no easy solution (by the way if you experienced problems accessing our website yesterday that was our webmaster working overtime trying to fix this). However, in the meantime, I can offer you a workaround. If you happen to use Chrome, you can install "Safer VPN" extension and apparently that does the trick. I cannot test it myself because I don't get an error.

So, the website is safe and we are working on it. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Hey guys, web access should be fixed!
Here you are the full Facebook update:

Web Access, PayPal & VAT
The Forge never stops (ha! there will be time to return to the earth... for the tomb!). After working hard on the weekend, I have good news about the website:

- ALL of you should be able to access the web now (fingers crossed, we have tested it with some volunteers in different countries)!!!! Please spread the word to your Dog-Brothers and Sword-Sisters!
- You have requested it and we have listened! PayPal is available!
- After taking advice from a wise old man (my accountant), I have corrected VAT. Long story short no VAT will be charged to customers outside the EU (price are shown without VAT in the shop, if you are within the EU you can check VAT in your shopping cart and during checkout). And of course, I'll set things straight returning VAT money to everybody outside the EU who has already placed an order.

Back to the fray!

Those are painted absolutely superbly - nice!  I love the figures, though I admit many of them feature metal that is waaaaay too thin for something I'd be getting heavy use out of.  I know a lot of people hate the "heroic" scaling of weapons, but it's a trade-off I'm always willing to make if it means I'm not snapping spears or bows.
