This is an open message to Alex.
First the positive stuff.
I really like the halflings/not-hobbits very much.
Stylistically they are and are not JRRT Hobbits. Which is an outstanding thing IMO.
Love LOTR books
and these catch a new view of the concept of halflings in an original point of view.
You're only 20? Damn, less than a third of my age and three times as much artistic talent on my best day.
Ever.
Well-prepared KS, well-thought out and I like that you have so much sculpted or even master casted (is that a real verb?) You have been thinking of this for a while, haven't you? Artistic
and sharp! You have good potential to be a force in this hobby for a long time I suspect.
Now the negative stuff.
Well, not really negative...
The other warbands don't appeal to me.
Now that is not saying they are not well sculpted or that I don't actually appreciate them. I just have so many fantasy figures (even after getting rid of most of my OD&D FRPG pieces) that I am not in the market for more except the 1970's Der Kriegspieler Dwarf and Lesser Orc figures (latter now cast legitimately and former very rarely on EvilBay.) I think you will have lots of attention paid to them. Since I won't be buying them I won't comment on the styles (plus or minus) as they appear to me. Your worst sculpt is still beyond any hope of my achieving I suspect.
Another set of fantasy rules (not just yours) I don't need.
Looking to find my FGU Space Marines rules (pre GW) to show a friend the Extreme Old School Modifiers style of rules of the 1970's visually reminded me that I have a crate and two filing cabinet drawers of Historical/Science Fiction/Fantasy/VSF/Pulp/etc., rules I will never use.
Let me congratulate you (in advance) on achieving you goals in this KS and your future efforts in this hobby..
BTW, your seamstress is pretty dern good!
Gracias,
Glenn
