New Hinterland: 7/10/13
« on: July 10, 2013, 08:32:35 AM »
Hi All,

It's been a while, but I finally have some new Hinterland minis to release.  Not a large collection, but certainly varied.  First, an idea I started more than a year ago, is the Hinterland robot, aka: Autohusaren:




This is a multi-part, semi-poseable, 40mm tall bodyguard/sidekick for the hussars.  He's based on artwork by Matt Leahy, and is laboriously sculpted by Paul Hicks, who playfully (I think) hated me by the end of the process.

The second release is a vehicle crew, including a morale-lifting accordionist:




Finally, I have Princess Tatiana, a limited-edition reward mini for customers who spend at least $50 (before the added S&H):




I have only fifty copies of her, and the only way there will ever be more is if I should attend a show or convention, in which case I reserve the right to cast some extras for the show.  However, because I've never done this before, and because I live in the boonies, it's probably a safe assumption that there will be only the current fifty copies.

You'll find these wonderful flights of fancy at the Hinterland website:

Thanks for your interest and feedback.

While not my interest, I am tempted to get some for use in Wild West games. Do only the mounted figures have separate heads?
Cheers,

cracking stuff, as usual
the lady with the binoculars can't be doing anything else than taking a peek out of a hatch - do we have to expect vehicles?

Yeah, only one mounted pack has separate heads.

I've attempted to stir up some interest in a vehicle, but haven't yet made it come about.  We'll see....

Looking good. Hope the princess is still available when I have money for this again. :)

Excellent additions to the catalogue.
The vehicle crew are all great, but the accordian player is truly wonderful.
And that robot tickles me, I have to admit.

The Autohusaren looks great (well so does the rest as well) and I think I have to get me some.

I wasn't expecting to see Tatiana ;)
Nice little bonus, considering I was planning to order immediately anyway!

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to do the concept art for the Hinterland robot. It was a lot of fun, and I think Paul did a fantastic job matching the artwork.  :D

That accordianist is proving pretty popular.  Ironically, she was among my very first list of ideas when I started up Hinterland, and I've only finally gotten around to her now.  It's hard to find ways to work in peripheral "flavor" miniatures.

Just made an order, so here's hoping that Tatiana still is available.

I first saw Hinterland figures at a VBCW game at last year's Smoggycon and they were very nice indeed. Some more Victorian themed figures would be great (the camel train looks fantastic).
