These are very nice.  I am new to the thread.  Did somebody say they are 15mm?
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

Congratulations!

It feels kind of like you have produced offspring!! Must be cool to see something you created by hand, now being produced in volume.

The figures look good.

It is indeed, These are my pewter children, and with them i shall conquer the lands of men.

Honestly the strangest feeling is that someone else cast them after i spent three years learning to cast and working as an art technician. Admittedly these aren't bronze so it's a little different, but still Having someone else do all the mould prep and work for me is pretty nice ;D



These are very nice.  I am new to the thread.  Did somebody say they are 15mm?

So far everything is 15mm :)


Cheers for the encouragement everyone!

right, so following on from that, I'm still looking at the kickstarter idea.

This isn't an announcement, so much as a watch this space.

Most likely in the next couple of months, only two pledges.
One for a pack of ten 15mm characters,
One for a pack plus a custom sculpt of your own design.

I'm hopefully looking at end of feb, but maybe beginning of march.When i have a more concrete idea of what's happening with it, I'll add it here and create a new post just for kickstarter news and updates.
I want to keep is short, simple and managable, so anyone that is kind enough to back is rewarded with their figures as quickly as possible! :)

In the mean time, Here's a rough mock up of some banner artwork so you can literally watch this space....



(the font is a placeholder.I'll be doing it all by hand but typography and a 9 hour shift don't mix.)

On the sculpting side, The I have finished my harry the hammer tribute sculpt and have almost finished a more noble armoured knight.
I'll have pics of those in the next couple of days, and then after that i want to add a skeleton, a warrior queen and a dwarf to round out the ten sculpts.

More sculpts.

Here's the finished harry the hammer tribute, Barry the basher.



And two more WIPs.
A skeleton that may be armed with a big sword and shield, or a crossbow.

And a knight lunging with his sword.

These are fantastic -  I feel like 'Oldhammer' is really underrepresented in 15mm, and these'll help solve that! Can't wait for the kickstarter...

A brief update. This project is still very much alive, I've just had a bitch of a fortnight working all kinds of late shifts and strange hours, So this is my first actual weekend off to sit and sculpt!
Expect more soon! :)

I promised more soon!

I sat down and got this skeleton chap done last night. HE was fiddly but I'm quite happy with him, especially the way he's peering out from under his rusty helm and mail.
