 The big bird is from the Forge of Ice range which Alex Bates has started up.Great miniature and it goes well with the Dwarves.

 Hi Andrew

 I do hope to have him and a few other pieces by you out in the New Year.Juggling funds around to get new releases out has been a bit of a nightmare at the moment.

 2012 will see Four A miniatures attending more show's around the country.Also loads of new releases ready to go along with a try at a 15mm range  :D.

That is a VERY COOL collection of Little Rogues. Beyond the craftsmanship involved, I've been very impressed with the amount of imagination that all the Four A Minis evince. VERY WELL DONE!

Cracking range youve got developing there!

The Sea Demons are especially original looking creatures! I really need to order some!

All the best!

 I have six more Sea Demon sculpt's waiting for release.The latest one arrived yesterday from Paul Muller.It is a Leader type for the swordsman one's.
 The range has grown well this year.That is only due to the people buying into it.I could not have done it without them.It is as much a group thing as just my weird mind.
 Lot's more goodies to release in 2012 which I am sure people will like.

 The Dwarves are based on the old Chronopia range.I know not everyone likes them but I loved them when they were out.

Cool, so you have 12 goblin sculpts in total - how many do you plan on doing?  Are they all going to be unipose, or are you planning any multi-part castings?

 There are nine more Kev Adams pieces ready and eight more Adam Gayford ones ready too.Four of Adams are away for painting now.Also a bigger peice by a new sculptor which is ready to go too.

 Trying to decide on mounts for the Kev Adams one's at the moment.

Looking good Andy - the Sea Demon band look great - makes me want to get a move on with mine!

That is a great range you are building there, MM!

I will need to make an order for some of your larger models (40mm) in the new year and I can see quite a few other minis slipping into the order, so to speak.  ;)

As an aside; Do you plan any additions to the larger scale Jim Bowen sculpts that you already have?
Title: Re: Four A miniatures Fantasy
Post by: manic _miner on December 13, 2011, 07:44:42 AM
 Thanks for the reply's folk's.

 The range has taken on a life of it's own.

 I have tried to temp Jim to do some more but not had any luck so far.A real shame as he is a great sculptor and painter too.

 You had seen the Pikers for the Sea Demon's steve.Just wait until you see the other pieces to go with them.Also had a great idea for a mount for them too.

Yep - the pikers are great - the mounts sound intriguing too - been thinking about painting the stuff I've got as fresh water demons and shoe-horning them into my Lustria project...

Looking great, Andy! 

Thanks for including my stuff in your pics, I appreciate the shout-out!   :)

It's really cool to see all your stuff collected in one place - that's gotta be a satisfying feeling.  I love all your little demonic familiars, and of course the Chronopia style dwarves.  I loved the look of those original Chronopia figures, too, it's great to see someone still running with that look.

Me like!

Were I just a rich man who could afford all the little metal beauties out there, and have somebody help me paint them up for the table....  :)

 The four Adam Gayford Goblins have been painted.I just need to sort out moulds for them.Probably looking at around two to three weeks time.
