Title: Mountain Miniatures pig faced Orc's character deal 10% off for one week!
Post by: tidyfiguremaker on May 27, 2015, 09:58:08 PM

Hi guys,
I've started a new range of fantasy figures, the first three of which are up for pre-order to help pay for the moulds and casting.
There is a limited pre-order price deal for all three figures available in the store on my website.

They look lovely. Should be great for those who like a more gritty, realistic edge to their fantasy gaming (as in less cartoony look).

Those are great, Ian. Very much to my taste!

Individual figures are now available to pre-order for those who want a specific figure.

The pre-order price is ending soon as the figures are now being mastered, once that's sorted and approved the price for the set of three will be increased.

The metal masters arrived today from the mouldmaker, a little bit of cleaning up and a minor repair and I will be sending them back to make the production mould. This is this last chance to get them at the pre-order price, once I have production castings they will be full price.

Andrew Taylor has painted the Orc characters for me and I think he has done a wonderful job on them.

Do you plan on expanding this range in the future?

Title: Re: Mountain Miniatures start of new range.
Post by: tidyfiguremaker on July 04, 2015, 06:40:54 PM

yes, there will be more to come. Orcs, goblins and other races too.

I just ordered the Orc trio. Glad there will be more.

Pre-ordered; I just couldn't resist!   :D

This is the final day at the pre-order price for the full set, it will be £11.25 for the three or £4 individually.

Awesome.  Proper D&D style!

Thanks guys, much appreciated.
And I am pleased to say that all current orders are now away and should be with you soon, thank you for supporting our little venture.
More figures will be added to the range as and when I can get the funds and time.
The more I sell, the more time I can spend sculpting new ones  :).

Can hardly wait to see them in the metal. It's great so see models like these, especially how they're armed and armoured. They'll go beautifully with my dark age/early mediaeval miniatures.

Post by: Garanhir on July 10, 2015, 02:44:41 PM

They're here! Sitting on my desk at work are three bosting new orcs. Even better than the pictures promised, I'm seriously chuffed with them.

I'm working on the next batch of figures now, some wip pics will be up soon.

Post by: deathjester25 on July 17, 2015, 10:29:34 PM

Just received mine today. Cant wait to start working on them.

Glad to hear more are coming soon. Hopefully some with bows.

I ordered the shaman for a particular project - he's a very nice and clean model, and he got here safely packaged in multiple layers of bubblewrap very rapidly  8) 8) 8)

Something wicked this way comes, first wip picture of the next pig faced Orc. I'll post a concept pic later on so you can see what he'll look like.
I know it's early days but I thought I would show my process for creating a figure.

Really like the mailed Orc Warrior. Good, clean sculpting and an interesting and original take on Orcs. He's on my list  :).

Post by: tidyfiguremaker on July 26, 2015, 04:08:20 PM

Here's the concept art that I did for this figure that I am working on, and yes there will be regular bows too.

Nice concept sketch - the model looks nothing like it so far, barring the leg position, so this should be very interesting.  8) 8) 8)

Awesome!  Keep the wip pics coming.  Im looking forward to building a warband for otherworld skirmish from your orcs.

Didn't you sculpt some pig faced orcs for another company that closed up?

Title: Re: Mountain Miniatures pig faced Orc new figure wip pic
Post by: tidyfiguremaker on July 26, 2015, 07:03:38 PM

Yes, I sculpted various sets of warriors with hand weapons and pole arms. I'm not sure what's happening with them at the moment but I am sure that I heard somewhere that he will be opening his store again soon. He's been very busy sorting his last Kickstarter out.
