Hah! I'm a sucker for anything in a top hat, and that orc looks awesome. Also loving the necromancer; I think I saw that one on CMON not too long ago.

Those trolls are still horribly anatomically correct in a National Geographic halloween-edition way...

loving the updated stuff.

My only comment back would be on the Necro's face, a little to cartoonish for my taste (has chinese vibe to me).

Keep up the good work all!

I think the problem with the face is primarily his beard, if fuller it would look both more realistic but it would also change the way the face looks.

That is probably a fair observation. I would have to say that the eyebrows bother me the most though.

Yes, the 'necromancer' has a hand grenade, it's a sci-fi model. i think the original concept was for a post-apocalyptic psyker/shaman. i'm not sure how or when he gained the description necromancer

Icesword's stuff will probably be released independently from Troll Forged Miniatures through his own site Miniatures of the North. TFM will provide the casts but MotN will release them.

Agreed, that commissar looks amazing! Is that a tooth pick...?
Still, good for restoring squad morale, threatening them with an Ice Pick

Good stuff!

Bocks is my hero; I'm somewhat saddened that he keeps picking up amazing projects (centipede, stingwing, brain MkII, biped) while working on other projects.

I'm especially a fan of the stubby vestigal arms on the chest.

Will the holes in the "bracers" house something such as blades/projectiles or are they purely aesthetic?

Do you guys do commission sculpts? if so , how much?

Or can we just suggest what we want and you guys think over it xD

Need different units to fill out your armies? Or perhaps start a new one? Why not give sales gallery a look? You might find something you want :3 Get it today! Perfect trade record, perfect packaging, 2 weeks or less delivery in N.America !

Wasn't someone doing some kind of techno-organic mech? An Eva-esque (without the armor) walker, with a pilot where the head was supposed to be?

I vaguely remember something like that, but I really don't feel like searching through 36 backpages.

Bocks is my favorite sculptor you guys have (not that the others aren't fantastic).

I'm definitely going to order one of those beasties if Bocks makes it look like that awesome concept art (which, knowing him, he will). It kind of looks like the Incredible Hulk if he was in a Genestealer Cult. xD

Has Troll Forged considered listing more information for each miniature in the shop? These are my complaints/comments:

- The "Old School Aliens" are supplied with 40mm round bases but are pictured on non-GW square bases. Other pictures may help gain a sense of scale.
- Some miniatures are supplied with a 25mm base, but their scale isn't listed. The Ganger Girl looks to be 32mm (to the eye) whereas the Civilians Mob looks to be 25mm (to the eye). I notice that Demogorath has the height listed; please do this with other listings! With oddities such as the Rot Demon and the Skull Child both on the same base, height would be appreciated.
- The Build-a-Demon page would benefit greatly if you could label the parts. I can tell what the "vulture" head is, but I can't clearly tell which one is "cyclops" and which one is "eye". The torsos are indistinguishable aside from "rotten".
- There seems to be an inconsistency between painted models and unpainted models. Not that this is a problem, but unpainted pictures would be a great boon if possible. It would be good to see what details are actually part of the model, and it would be nice to know the material (pewter or resin).

@ Lunahound. there are many TFM members that take private commissions. Your best bet is to pop over to our forum and post what your after in the Commissions and Schedules sub forum

If you'd like to see TFM produce something specific for general release you're best bet is to join the forum post your idea in concept design sub-forum and spend some time convincing a sculptor to do it or suggest it as a theme for the Sculpting Challenge. only a few of the TFM sculptors visit this thread. most of the feedback is passed on by Malika.

@ Absolutionis. I'll push Ed and Phill to get model sizes etc. up on the web store. As for the Demon Lords, if you click on the pictures it brings ip large clearly labled images

Bocks got tired of the multipede if I'm not mistaken. The Stingwing will be sent to Ed, cast in metal after which several variants will be made. As for the brainbug, I heard that Bocks was painting one of them. I'll let you know more as soon as possible!

Will the holes in the "bracers" house something such as blades/projectiles or are they purely aesthetic?

We've been discussing various weapon ideas.

Wasn't someone doing some kind of techno-organic mech? An Eva-esque (without the armor) walker, with a pilot where the head was supposed to be?

I know which one you mean. Problem is that I haven't heard from Revliss (the sculptor) in a while, so I can't tell you more. :(

- There seems to be an inconsistency between painted models and unpainted models. Not that this is a problem, but unpainted pictures would be a great boon if possible. It would be good to see what details are actually part of the model, and it would be nice to know the material (pewter or resin).

Models are resin or metal. I think the standard models are resin, if they are metal (or have a metal variant) it is mentioned.

Got my two lizardman minis the other day. They are great. Much nicer casting than I have come to expect from forgeworld (the only other resin caster I have bought from), a few bubbles that are easily fixed with my limited greenstuff skills.

Rikard did an awesome job on these, more work from him!

WotC? If I recall correctly the Demogorgon was some sort of mythological monster/daemon. Dungeons and Dragons later also had one of those creatures.

The name Demogorgon comes from the 4th century: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demogorgon
The look (2 Mandrill heads etc) is "inspired" by the D&D /AD&D daemon of the same name, when it was still owned by TSR:

Point of fact, TSR doesn't exist anymore, so can't own anything. Everything they had either devolved to the creators or was absorbed part and parcel by WotC who in tern have passed it on to their infernal masters at Hasbro, may they writhe in molten brass for eternity.
