**Malika2**

Troll have been cast, expect them soon!

Burano is working on more sci fi:

**Earthbeard**

Love the Alien adventurer and grimstones new dwarf.

The Alien reminds a little of either a hammerhead or starwars verpine.

**Malika2**

Ed's Trolls are finally out!

**Kroothawk**

Getting all those nude monsters is okay I guess, but I am losing faith that Bock's and cyclonus' Tyranid sculpts will be released before GW's second Tyranid wave. Cyclonus' Alien transporter is on Ed's shelf for 14-15 months now, could have been the first Tervigon alternative by far back then.

**Borak**

I'll get on to Ed about the big bug. find out whats going on for you

in the mean time heres a sneek peak of some stuff that should be out by the end of april. its from Eds moorkeep setting. i'm not sure of the sculptor but i'lll find out

men, elves and goblins

**Wolf**

Oh my the top two and the middle ones on the right (apart from the Goblins) remind me so much of Morrowind, those elite guards and the guards of the sand towns.

may have to haev a dabble when released.

**Hatemonger**

I love the disclaimer on the store page:
"Warning: These Trolls are naked and really gross. They will give you nightmares just looking at them, and probably permanently damage your psyche if you try to paint them."

You can't fault him for being honest!

I like them as a concept, but I'm not sure I can see myself putting them on a tabletop at my FLGS among the Yu-Gi-Oh players and random passers-by.

Any chance of an optional clothing add-on pack?

- H8

**poipo32**

A small scrap of greenstuff will make good clothing.

**Cruentus**

Or a quick snip with some sprue cutters... <snip>

**Dez**

Those Moorkeep models are great!

**aurelion**

The elves, men and goblins look very intresting indeed

**Malika2**

The reason why I didn't post the Moorkeep stuff yet was because I had no further info on it yet. We will have to wait and see what will happen with Moorkeep!

Some more WIPs!

Burano is working on more sci fi models!

He is also working on some fantasy stuff:

Ed is working on a new larva/worm creature:

**Boss Salvage**

Ooooo dig them worms, been looking for something like them for my Nurgley legions ...

- Salvage

**Malika2**

I don't think he worms will take that long to come out. I can't give you any real ETA though, but so far Ed's stuff generally sells well so I guess he will try to push these ones for a quicker release.

On other news...remember this fella?

The original Ice Wraith, now called a Spectre is out! He can be ordered here for $5.

**Malika2**

Small update on the worms...

This is the teaser before I get good shots for Philip.

**RiTides**

**insaniak**

Those are wonderfully icky.

**Vitruvian XVII**

Blimey, Ed really does prioritise his own minis!

That said, they are very nice, now if only i could fine a use for them...

**Malika2**

That's primarily because those are the models that tend to sell best...

**Vitruvian XVII**

Oh i see no problem with it, hes a fantastic sculptor! Was purely a passing comment, apologies for not wording it better

Edit: Oops, double post...

Sorry if I sounded a bit harsh there, it was late and I had a long day of reviewing papers whilst being half hung over.

Thing is that TFM is a small company and Ed also does other commission stuff and other jobs on the side to be able to keep doing this for the sculptors but also to sustain himself, which is the reason why some of the miniatures take so long to be released. He prioritizes some stuff (including his own miniatures) because he knows they will bring in enough revenue to keep on going.

**Malika2**

To quote one of our members, Philip Sibbering, TFM's webmaster and webdesigner:

I have been messing about with the Org concepts some more. I came up with one I liked in a doodle while on the telephone. Funny how inspiration strikes when you are not really trying! I scanned the scrap of paper into Photoshop and worked it up. The Orgs are the Sciror version of Orcs, but I wanted them to be even meaner looking (if that’s possible), a mix between 40K’s Orks, rage zombies (from 28 days), and a dash of crocodile. Notable differences are the lack of lips (I may play up the shark teeth angle a bit more in later versions), the skeletal nose, and rounded ears.

Hive Trygon has been busy working on some busts for Philip's design that will probably be released as well.

**Sheep**

Theres a hell of a lot more teeth in that model then there are in the illustration, but they both look excellent.

**Marcin Ciszewicz**

Fabulous sculpts, all of them. I definitely need to find a place where I could buy your stuff in my country. Those Elves are nice... and maybe it's just me, but their helmets have something in common with "Alien".

**Malika2**

@Sheep: I know, Ed is currently experimenting with the Org design a bit, which will be done through busts. Once he completed those he will give it a shot at making some Org miniatures.

@Marcin Ciszewicz: You could buy the miniatures from the online store.
