Tre had the thought of switching to plastic (or something like that) and started to discontinue some of his lines, the first kickstarter he made was apparently something of an disaster for him as the sculpts didn´t translate to good into the new material and productions didn´t keep the time and so on.

He is currently working on his latest kickstarter where all was metall.

Why and how this happen I have no idea.

And when these miniatures are starting to appear on his site again I have no idea.

It’s a pity because Tre is one of my favorite sculptors and a nice guy.

I have noticed that Hasslefree has bought some of his miniatures and sells them. So some of them can be found there.
I think its mostly old sculpts that is slightly larger than his current stile but I don’t know.
Try searching for Tre Manor on http://www.hfminis.co.uk/ and you will find them


But enough about that, bring on more pictures...
I tested a new concept a couple of days ago...
Trolls raiding a Tomte village.


This Tuesday we test played a special set of modification rules to Hail Caesar resulting in this raid on a small Tomte settlement.
The rules worked far beyond my expectations and was lots of fun for all players.

Many more pictures at: http://kampgruppe-engel.blogspot.se/2013/08/troll-raid-on-tomte-settlement.html

Here are just a pick of some of them.










I will testplay them some more before I can share them.

I tested a new concept a couple of days ago...
Trolls raiding a Tomte village.

The molds Hasslefree bought were of Tre's original Red Box sculpts, which are somewhat larger thus and incompatible with the current range. As Engel writes the first Red Box KS (last year) was an unmitigated disaster largely due to problems with the new material (Trollcast: a resin-plastic hybrid, I believe) and the inability of the casters to meet the demand (which they promised they could). Tre has worked hard to rectify all the problems. The second KS (last May) saw Tre retrenching and returning to metal (yay!). It seems to have been a resounding success in terms of targets being kept.

Great pictures Engel! Those poor Tomte look like they're in for a rough time!

Really nice! I have to admit I hadn't seen the updates in this thread for a while, but now that I see them it becomes clear that I missed something! The table looks great, very atmospheric, as do the miniatures. Where did you get those cool gnomes?

The gnomes are from splintered light mins.

Of all the things in this thread, that fellow still is one of my very favourites.

Thanks.

Last trollraid games made me think I needed another set of pigs.
The pigs are from Architects of war, I think.




With Gubbspel Galore IV less than a week from now  I better finish all the half painted miniatures and concentrate on scenarios and reread the rules. Time is running out.  ;D
