They have a bit of a chronopia dwarf feel, especially the second one. :)
Good sculpts though. 8)
-
The first one in particular is great - love the XXL breastplate! :D
-
Yeah are those Chronopia dwarves? I really like them, where can one purchase them?

Those were my exact thoughts word for word.

Yep. Thinking the same thing on this as well. Really liked the look of the first. Puggy bit capable looking dwarf that is gonna shoot ya on the way in to chop da wood with his axe.

And for the third time, stop reading my mind. LOL. It is crowded enough in here as it is. :-)

Nice, especially the first one. I can't make it to the Durham show but you'll have some money coming your way at Border Reiver if you're selling these little battlers this year :D
-
Nice minis, but that sword is just silly. I thought we had put those aesthetics behind us... :-I Oh well, each to his own - I don't want to be a-hatin'... =)
-
Lovely, they are both excellent!
That second one's weapon is stupid though. I'd hack it off asap after buying it!
-
Thanks for the comments on these little fellows.
Chronopia Dwarves are my favorite style of dwarves.They just have a real feral feel to them.
These are two more of the miniatures which will be released this Saturday.They will be in the web shop the week after if not sooner.Both miniatures are three part castings.The resin bases are from Fenris Games.Ian does some of the best bases and scenery pieces around at the moment.
I have more Dwarves sitting waiting to go off to the mould makers once I get some spare cash.They will be getting some little green guy's to fight soon too.More on that at a later date though :D.

Ooooh Green Guys! >:D

Will they be on the site after that?
-
They will be on the site the week after if not sooner.These are the first two.I have more greens ready to go to the mould makers.
-
I like the first one a lot, but the sword sort of ruins the second one for me. Nice sculpts overall (and nice paint jobs, too).

Can someone link me the website they'll be available at ...
Thank you! I love them!

Thanks Phreedh. Those are too cool to pass up.

Just a small update to let you know the web shop has been updated to include the two Dwarves and one other miniature.
Sold a few at the show yesterday.
Thanks for the comments on these and I hope to post more when they get cast.

£4?!
Whoa. Sorry mate, I know you have to make a living and get the money back for the moulding and cost of sculpts, but that's out of my league.

"£4?! Whoa. Sorry mate, I know you have to make a living and get the money back for the moulding and cost of sculpts, but that's out of my league. "
£4 (c. $6) is not at all uncommon these days for a metal miniature, especially from small companies. Even Reaper - one of the biggest - now charges about $6.50 for a single figure. If you buy "unit" figures the price may still be better, but for individual figures £4 is fairly standard.
-
Just seems incredibly steep to me.
They are very nice models though and I guess the current fantasy market is mostly individual figures. All the pseudo-confrontation models are about this price I guess.
Ahh but reaper get away with it because they have such a large range. They also sell the stuff you won't find anywhere else.
-
Sorry to hear that £4.00 seems steep.It is hard pricing miniatures.Single piece castings work out cheaper because you can fit more on a mould.
I think the price is good for the miniature.I know some people have mentioned some of the miniatures being cheaper than they expected.
I suppose when you are the size of Reaper and can do all of the mould making and casting in house prices are cheaper.
The price debate has been going on for quite some time.The thing is if someone likes a miniaure they will pay the price.I know I have and still do.Some of the Privateer miniatures are quite steep.But at the end of the day you get what you want or look elsewhere for a cheaper alternative.
-
I know, I totally agree with you. If it was half the price, I'd consider it, but for me they are too generic for even that.
However, they are lovely sculpts and I am sure there are plenty of people who want just these.
I am used to AA prices, bugger Privateer, I got into that a while ago and gave up when the power-creep took over and you had to keep up with your mates. They're worse than bloody GW.
-
I like the Privateer miniatures and have quite a few.Never had a game yet and probably wont.The Trolls are my fav though.
-
I have some Privateer Press figures, but they tend toward lots of parts to glue together and over-sized weapons, both of which are turnoffs for me. But when I see one I like I will generally buy it, even if they are on the pricey side. There were a couple where I was torn until I saw the price tag, and then said "no".
-
I still like the Trollblood cavalry but like you mention they are a bit expensive.The Troll champions box set has loads of pieces which gives the miniatures that feel of movment that you would expect from charging trolls.
