Amazing paintjob on a wondeful figure.
You are right, he just oozes character.
Great work, Blue!

It's been a while since any real update on what's in the pipeline and I'm not going to give you one now. Instead, I'll just show you a couple teasers and be done with it. Oh, and there is now a new facebook page where you can also follow updates.

Can you guess what these are?

And this?

This should be fairly obvious (painted figure for scale)...

I've also been playing around a bit more myself and completed the second member of the stretcherbearer team and added some bits that offer the option to use them as an ammo/petard team instead. We'll see if it looks halfway decent when it's moulded (if it doesn't, they'll stay in my personal collection).

Some heads to go with them. Only the best will go on to be turned into metal.

And I've finished mister twohands here (after tearing off parts of it more times than I can remember in order to start over) or at least got him close enough to stop fiddling with him. He'll get two optional weapon tops that will be spear and halberd, though he should look good with one of the dwarf standards as well.

Great stuff, WK!
The new stuff is fantastic.
The stretcher/petard option is a clever idea and should go down well, whilst the new heads look really good to me.
They blend in very well indeed.

And those knights are just

I think that there will be quite a bit for you to get cast up.

FANTASTIC WORK! The Short Ones of various descriptions are all WONDERFULLY CREATIVE pieces. VERY WELL DONE!

Looks great!

I know what you mean by tearing parts off if you aren't happy with them. Better off that way, I used to try and fix things by adding just because it took an hour to create (badly!).

I've found my sculpting has improved by brutally destroying parts I have worked hard on, and reworking them several times, coming back the next day to see if I am happy with them yet!!!

You have no idea. When I say this is just the tip of the iceberg that I'm sitting on, it's not much of an exageration. 2013 is going to be a big year in terms of new releases.

That must be painful with all those spears and lances

Enlighten us

Nah, just kidding. I've seen enough to believe you. Those heavy cavalry knights are super cool, not to speak of those horses they are sitting on

The goblin artillery crew looks fantastic, but where is the cannon/mortar

Interesting halfling but afraid he doesn't really work that well with your current goblin/halfling combos. Hopefully there will be more like this on

And your own tries seems to be getting there and is soon in strong competition with your Pickford's >:(you are aware that I originally bought into this due to the Pickford's, right? I don't need another obsessive collecting hobby - so please put down those tools and putties, again

Available from such great places as LAM or TAG.

When I did the goblins, people started asking for halfling heads to go with them, so I obliged and those people were happy. Then other people started asking for "proper" halfling bodies to go with the heads and I was going to have them wait, but then I found a sculptor who's able to deliver exactly the sort of halflings I want, so... yes, there will be more dedicated halfling bodies (so, slightly shorter and fatter, with hairy feet), though they will remain compatible with the existing bits (heads and weapons).

No danger of that. I'm only going to do random additions that I'd like to have but that aren't on John's (ever growing) list of things to do.

Time for a closer look at those dwarf knights I've shown a few teaser pictures of. This is the first of 3 planned knightly orders and the one I refer to as the "vanilla" knights as they are pretty much your basic classic knight figure with feathers on his helmet, lances and blank shields to fit any design. The next orders will have a specific theme (one of which can be guessed from the alternate add-ons in the command set).

Let's start with the captain of the order, he of the magnificent feathers. This model would work well as a Grandmaster of the order or an Army General as well. He is shown here with his optional sword (other options include the traditional lance and the "morning star" as shown below).

This is the same captain with the alternate head and weapon. He has a matching shield shown in the bits pics below.

A couple examples of assembled combinations. All bodies can be assembled with a vertical or horizontal lance.

This one works well without a beard, but if you must have one, well it comes with an optional beard (shown to the right).

This particular visorless head comes with 3 visor options. The grille and the bars visors allow you to see the dwarf's face behind it. The third one is a closed visor that will require you to trim his eyebrows for a good fit.

The command set comes with a standardbearer upgrade for the rank and file bodies. One is this rather characterful boar standard and the other is an armoured glove making a fist.
