Hi. I hope I'm posting this in the right area. I'm looking for a company or individual to produce short runs of resin or metal figures, and I was wondering if anyone here had any recommendations? It seems like a year or so ago there were a few people posting here that offered or had taken advantage of some services, and I'd love to get any advice anyone would care to give. If this topic has already been covered (I did a search, but...) a link would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jake

There is always Troll Forged, but it seems that the caster has a very long backlog, haven't heard of him releasing anything for almost a year.

Ask Chapterhouse Studio or Armorcast for their casters.

I know Armorcast does outside work. No clue as to cost or any specifics though.

The Orks are the pinnacle of creation. For them, the great struggle is won. They have evolved a society which knows no stress or angst. Who are we to judge them? We Eldar who have failed, or the Humans, on the road to ruin in their turn? And why? Because we sought answers to questions that an Ork wouldn't even bother to ask! We see a culture that is strong and despise it as crude.
