Subject: Shieldwolf Miniatures - Official News thread (Sisters of Talliareum and Faith Pre-Orders March 5th)
@Nostromodamus
Indeed it is, if we didn't believe in it so much we wouldn't be emerged so much in all this after all!
Remember, it's the largest investment ever made from our company, we listen to the community and people soundly asked for them. Well, here we are doing our part to deliver! :-)
Anyway, more confirmed pieces that will all go on the sprues (both Fantasy and Sci-Fi). This time, the head versions, they will not be enough in a single box for all 20 minis to have helmeted or non-helmeted version, so it's mostly a mix of things.
Naturally all pre-orders from lvl-2 (Gabriella - Francesca) and more will be able to mix these between them if they want to split and get fully helmeted and fully non-helmeted groups.
Something from the Northern Alliance (our nordic race) for a change. A review of the Shieldmaidens plastic kit.
Koodos to Beasts of War for putting in the effort to show this off :-)
A few more weapon & vehicle photos are on facebook. Posted around the same time that SW posted the torsos here, apparently. Dunno why they weren't posted here. Maybe Dakka is considered too combative for not enough financial return? Either way, these renders are the sort of thing we've been asking for the whole time since it's too early for sprue shots.
I "pledged" for this because I have been happy with Shieldwolf's previous plastics and I felt like I had seen enough of the Sister's designs to get the general idea. (Also, I have a huge Bitz box to help convert away any troublesome spots.). Their plastics are really fun to work with for me, and I'm looking forward to receiving these ones.
That said, I wish they had enough helmeted heads for all the minis. If worse come to worse, I can cut an old Forgefather visor bit in half to make an augmetic eye...
I just "pledged" for the Sabrina-level entry, for my Wife's SOB army.
AU$2.50 a trooper? Can't go wrong...

Not much else to show, not pretty or substantial I mean. Inserts are beign sculpted for the plastics as you know and promised, tanks are being casted as we speak (tank production should end early September).
We will be releasing a newsletter late this month to keep people as updated as possible. We have more things we have been working on to share with you :-)
Super supper hyped about this! We are calling the new casting method WolfCast.
One is resin, the other is plastic(ish). The final results are so stunning, we have to work on making the production method worthwhile (currently it's not, too high temperatures and too costly for the moulds). WolfCast can really elevate the entire production capacity not only for our range but mainly for the 3rd parties we cast for!
Heads up as this is going to be a very short discounted period (ends 31st of July) for our largest wargaming piece of our range, once again we appreciate all the support we are receiving from the Community!
Wow 80 euro's is a damn good price. Quick question did those Dryders you guys where going to make as a stretch goal from one of the KS's in the past ever make it into production?....they looked rather neat to just assemble and paint up.

The cliffside where 26 people were trapped between fire and cliff. Found hugged together, families, children.
The webstore will remain closed until further notice. All efforts from Shieldwolf will be instead directed for volunteering help to the ones affected near us.
they previously posted they were all ok, but really close to where these terrible fires happened

Slowly getting back... it's going to be a sprint now, after the flooding and (far more important) the fires that wrecked disaster to our neighbours '-(
Well, it will be late next month, it has been a very labour intensive period and we got stricken by malfortunes in the meanwhile (both the flooding but mostly the fires), but we should be able to make it just on time! :-)
