Thanks!

Bob is already working upon the next batch of figures for me - Dwarf Cossacks, mounted on ponies

A few "in game" shots of the first 30 minis i've painted - hopefully gives an idea of the different head options.

Thought some of you might be interested in the latest progress.

Some photos of the first stage greens for the Mounted Cossacks. These are the dollies, from which the final figures will be made - each dolly is a combined rider/pony, as I don't like minis where the riders never seem to sit quite right.

The plan is for the right arm, and the riders head to be interchangable, to give additional variety (please note the heads are attached for the purposes of the photos with a blob of bluetack, so aren't sitting flush with the figures). I'm still working out numbers but there will probably be at least 5 variants, armed with a combination of pistols/swords/spear/rifle (plus possibly a sprue with bugle/standard options).

The dollies will be going off to Griffin this week, so i'd hope to have the finished castings ready before Salute.

I love this project. So much imagination and creativity. Thumbs up, Akula, I'm looking forward to see what the future of WW1 fantasy will bring

Dags' Painting on the bunch is totally impressive.

Great job, guys!

I've asked the accountant at work to pay my salary directly into your account; saves me some work...

Tops! I look forward to them!

Man I would love to drop these into a game with some of the serious historical war gamers (I am more historical than many - aircraft and 17th Century Spanish Colonial) but love all three genres (Hx, SF, Fx) myself.)

Gracias,

Glenn

It really depends upon how things go - never say never.

Couple more pieces off to Griffin for moulding.

A sprue of 5 heads wearing budenovka felt hats, as an alternative option to make an "evil" dwarf army - I hope that these will be available at the same time as the cavalry (ie before Salute, in April).

The budenovka was popular with followers of Lenny, a malcontent who held radical views that gold from the King's mines should be divided equally for the "common good".

Many dwarves believe that these so-called "commonists" are sick, or in some way possessed by dark spirits - whatever the reason, they are a small but increasingly vocal group amongst dwarves.....no good will come of this.

Lenny himself, will be part of a future release.

Dwarf pilot half-figure - for the Dwarf plane i'm having made.

Not sure yet on timescale for this one.
