Musician:


Standard Bearer:


Rank and file knights of the White Boar to follow...

[DeafNala]

UBERCOOL! The Boar's Head is a SPLENDID touch to a few FINE minis. GREAT STUFF!

[blackstone]

Lovely sculpts! They'd be so nice to paint

[redzed]

christ, those Knights are fantastic, really early Citadel vibe

[The Red Graf]

Nice, I think I like these guys better than the generic ones.

Excellent indeed!

[tomek917]

Wow, those are great! 

Will there be mounted ones as well?

[white knight]

Possibly, but more foot versions to come first.

[Psychoflexible]

Definitly need them for my Empire army ! Very well done, I like the old school touch you give to your minis !

[Schrumpfkopf]

cracking stuff. time to get my order sorted.

[white knight]

Thanks for the comments, I'm quite happy with these.

2 more themed orders of knights are planned.

It's been a while without a dwarf update. While the Landgriffon's variants are being finished, here are some greens for the upcoming dwarf footknights. They still look a bit messy now, but will clean up just fine when we're done with them.

- Set 1: 4 bodies + 4 weapon hand options;




- Set 2: 4 bodies + 4 weapon arm options;





- Footknight champion figure: body + 3 weapon options

Champion with hammer and sword options:



Same champion with the third weapon option; the Dwarf Ancestor Powerfist of Doom



Dwarf footknight musician:



A standardbearer, with interchangeable standard tops to reflect the different knightly orders will also be added.

You may have noticed some of the ranges disappearing from the "Getting Some" section on the blog. As it is, the range has gotten too big for me to keep everything available and some moulds have indeed reached the end of their natural lifespan and need to be replaced. Now as I don't want them to go to the place that miniatures go to when they become OOP and since I'm not done adding to the range, I found another way, thanks to a throwaway comment from my trusted mouldmaker.

From this day forward, the production and  distribution of the Dwarf and Plump Halfling ranges will be taken care of by my friends at The Assault Group. Since they use the same mouldmaker, this means there will be no change in the quality of the castings.

The advantages of this arrangement are legion:
- faster turnaround on restocks as moulding and casting will be done in-house;
- online shopping facilities that mean you no longer have to search to the blog and copy-paste your wants list and personal info into an e-mail;
- online payment options shouldn't be limited to Paypal any longer;
- shipping will be straight from the source, no more middleman;
- I free up a lot more time to focus on expanding the range!

That's right, this is by no means the end of those ranges. I will keep adding new releases to both the dwarf and halfling range, we're far from done yet. I'll just have to worry less about moulding, casting, stocking and processing orders (even though the magnificent Svennn took a large share of the load on that one).
Downtime for the back-catalogue should be reduced to a minimum, while the good people at TAG sort through the mould and start adding the sets to their webstore (I'm told this has already begun). So normal service should be resumed before long, with a little more added comfort. Their aim is to have them up for pre-order shortly, for delivery in January.

Meanwhile, I'll be showing off some more additions to the range here in a couple of days.
