I am totally down for picking up a pit fiend once you have casts of it! The stuff keeps getting better and better.

**MOTN**

The trenchers are with Ed at TFM for mold making, they will be released.

The mercs are almost ready for shipping to TFM, there's a whole host of bits not shown here that are being finished to go in the mold plate with them, in addition to a few more head options. By the end of the year there will be 12+ different head sprues (5 per sprue) and around 8+ different styled bodies/torso's and arms from me.

It's worth remembering that I'm not the only sculptor TFM caters for, as much as I'd like to be first I need to wait my turn hehe.

**BrookM**

And so, the waiting game starts..

**MeanGreenStompa**

Between the mercs, trenchers and a few 1:35 ww2 tanks, I'm already plotting my 2010 imperial guard without a single GW piece...

**MOTN**

Once these mutant types are out the way IG are next up in the new year: Arctic, Desert, Jungle.... and the rest.

**Malika2**

Small update from Icesword:

WIP :

Here's the heads almost complete, bear in mind these are suppose to be akin to 'contamination' helmets, the off-size funny eye plates lend to the mutant feel.

Examples of heads in place...

And on a WIP greatcoat just to show some variety, and the size of the big mutant:

People might immediately think of making Mechanicus Skittari or whatever from them, and why not, but they weren't designed specifically as Tech trooper heads.

**BrookM**

Mhmmm, gotta love those hooded respirator heads. Good show!

**Deff Dread red Edition**

Coming along nicely. Really tempted to buy some guard related items(or atleast stuff I could proxy as guard). I hope you can make the jungle themed guard(even though they may be far off)look more like actual jungle fighters rather than the offspring of John Rambo and an Ogryn. I've always wanted to do a jungle themed IG force, however I refuse to use catachans so I will be watching out for them.

**Buttlerthepug**

I want to see that big mutant doen cause atm that just screems WHFB Troll!!!

Please let there be boonie hat heads. Please let there be boonie hat heads. Please let there be boonie hat heads. Please let there be boonie hat heads. Please let there be boonie hat heads.

**MeanGreenStompa**

Tell you now, you make jungle SciFi 'Guards of the Terran Empire'... that aren't covered in ridiculous muscles but instead look like Vietnam War soldiers then I'm gonna have me a swathe of em in ebay'd Valks and sit there painting em to the sounds of All Along the Watchtower and The End and Paint It Black...

Bring us these plastic kits, give us multiple options and we will make you rich...

**BrookM**

Don't forget White Rabbit and Surfin' Bird!

**Malika2**

A little something from Ed:

I'm getting pictures right now for this guy and almost thought about scratching this project and not even selling them. Had to admit it looks much, much better when assembled. I have 5 different poses and miniatures made for you to see how vast this thing is. There will probably be these basic 5 then options to swap weapons, wing or no wing, etc. I will then list all the bits as well so people can get a head or so they might prefer over any of these. I chose what to me were the favorites from what feedback I got:

Basic is going to be $19, add wings $26. Then there will be the bits page so you can get more and they will be $2, $3, etc depending on parts. Wings as bits will be $10.

Will it be relatively easy to magnetize the wings? Can you tell us the height? Thanks.

you and me have the same ideas, except i'm just making hordes of infantry.

**Malika2**

Link updated!

Demon Lord

$19.00

$20.00

$26.00

$21.00

Or simply put your own Demon Lord together over here!

The Plague Demons have been re-released as well:

You can get them here

**ghosty**

hows the vermin queen progressing? and the mercenaries?

**Malika2**

Here is a scale picture:

**MeanGreenStompa**

This demon lord is a fine kit indeed. Whilst not all the options appeal to me, there are plenty that do! The pricing is also very reasonable. Could I ask for a picture of the 'ibex' head showing the face in more detail?

Keeping it as 'bitz' is also inspired, plenty for the converters out there.

**Malika2**

Some pics of some new projects...

First an update on the new brain alien by Bocks:

And a new project, the multipede, first of all the concept art:

And the beginnings:

We (well Philip) are still working on the Demon Lord page as you can see here.

Oh yeah, the Alien Wyrm has been released with new claws! Not only that, but the price has gone done to $49.99!!!

**Malika2**

A little something for those interested in making terrain: Flag Stone Mold. With these you could create all the stone streets and walls you could ever want!

Check out the example cast:

And a message from Ed, showing his work space:

I keep forgetting.
1) studio

mill set up:

spin set:

Forgot to get shots of melting pots, they are in the vent system in the background of #1. thermoformer and resin station:

molds:

as you can see these disks are 9 inches and that is the biggest thing we can cram in there. That dino sun god is as close as we can push with no more cutting.

this is the part that was messed up. Since it is a one off for metal master I was not to worried about the part getting buried. Next time I'll have to cut a lot more rubber away, probably about a 45 from the arm and legs, so quite a bit.

goo detail shot of Bocks piece transfering into metal master soon.

**Alpharius**

Where are those post-Apocalyptic girls???

**Wehrkind**

Hear hear!

Though the cobble stone mold is a nice idea. I might grab one when I can buy some POST APOCALYPTIC GIRLS!

**Malika2**

Like posted before, they will come once Ed has all of his equipment up and running and has made casts of it.

If I'm not mistaken only the first one will be released, Rikard wasn't happy about the second one and dropped it. He is currently doing some project for Avatars of War after which he will return to doing stuff for Troll Forged Miniatures.

Here is a new Mongoblin by Khabuldashudeth:

You can comment directly to him over here!

**Malika2**

Khabuldashudeth continues to work on his evil dwarfs!

**Schepp himself**

They are so sweet and evil! I love'em.
They seem to rank up nicely on top of that. Is that intentional?

Greets
Schepp himself

**Malika2**

They are kinda meant to be used in large units, for those who want to field entire regiments of them.

**MagickalMemories**

Love the dwarves. Not hot about the helmets (glad they're optional).
Any chance for a close up of the shield with the skull on it? That skull resembles a FW skull very strongly. I'd love to get a better view of it.

Any idea when the E.Dwarves will be available?

Eric

**Malika2**

If I'm not mistaken the sculptor was going to send the sculpts when they're done which is either before or right after X-mas. They will probably be available around that time or if not in January 2010.

**RanTheCid**

The shields look a bit too simple for the quality of the green stuff bodies. Also, it's a bit out of place with the well armed/armored figures - a flat shield is very primitive, most cultures developed a rounded shield rather quickly.
