Hope you like, comment welcome as usual! Im actually painting up 112 of the archers, plus 2 giants, 8 bolt throwers and some shaman for gaming with. I will post up images when the army is finished.

Any chance of a close up on the top right archer? I like him a lot, very sinister.

Nice Orcs and Giant. These are your best yet, they are very cohesive and work very well.

Hey Curtis, great models. I really like the bolt thrower in particular with those cackling little goblins.

The giant looks nice and would work well for a NR super-mutant of some kind but the price seems a bit hefty.

I'm comparing it to the GW giant at 25 pounds (20 from Wayland Games) for a much larger model with more options. Not to say that yours is lacking in character (I love it) but that it feels like a lot to pay for a single (large) figure when I could get two boneyard trucks or other NR vehicles for the price. Gilgamesh isn't much smaller and is only 2.50.

I'm not trying to be critical as I love the vibe of these models and the prices on the others are solid. I'd love to make a battery of bolt throwers and a horde of toothy orcs. Looking forward to the rest of your fantasy models.

All the best,

Pete

Its a different range though, so its a different price structure. ANyway, the giant is heftier than the GW one, and at about £10 less then I still think its in line with market prices. I have another giant in the pipeline too, or actuall a much cooler conversion of this one....

Of course, you should set the price at what you think is best for the model and it does look really nice. I'm looking forward to the new giant also.

My point with the GW giant was that it comes with a great set of accessories from what I know so you get lots of options on a very big model. I know it's a different system but one thing I do like about GW is getting extra bits included. It doesn't make up for their prices but at least you get a good bits box out of it.

The challenge I think this model could face is that is is about 4 pounds less than the discounted GW giant model available online (for anyone who doesn't buy in store) and that makes it a tougher buy for me.

I would definitely pick it up at a lower price point but currently I'm just going to have to buy a couple of vehicles from you for the same price  ;)

Hey curtis,

I'm sorry if I came across rudely on your giant before. I think it's a great model and at this price, I will definitely be looking to get one or two (can't wait to see the next model). I'm already thinking about what kind of rules to use for them in Nuclear Renaissance. I think they will make for a great scenario where each gang is competing to bring them down perhaps.

Thumbs up from me.
