Back legs look a tad wonky but the front ones look great! This pleases me. /nefarioushandgestures

**Alfndrate**

the back legs do look a little wonky, but I don't really care, overall the model looks nice

The latest Prestashop update completely wrecked the OTLG Webshop. It will be awhile until the shop is up and running again, lots of bugs in this update. If you'd like to place an order, please e-mail us at Contact@on-the-lamb.com

**Cyporiean**

The Webshop is (Mostly) back up and running. We lost the Images and PDFs, but customer information appears to be intact. If you have trouble logging in, or checking out please contact us.

We'll slowly be re-uploading the images and PDF files today, but it will take several hours, and may cause a delay in tomorrow's Endless: Fantasy Tactics preview...

**Gymnogyps**

Dude, that sucks.

Edit.- but I'm glad you were able to recover customer data at least.

**Wehrkind**

So, I have the new Valkyr model...

I will just say that if any of you play Warmachine, you will wantt a kit or two to use the arms and legs to mod your 'jacks. They look FANTASTIC.

And of course you will want 6 for Brushfire, but even if you don't play Vandalands, damn, DEM LIMBS!

**RiTides**

Mmmmmm! They are going to be an early next year purchase for me, I think... they sound delicious

Has the black kiwi made it into a mold / attempted mold?

**Wehrkind**

It is going to meet its fate here this weekend I think. God speed it!

**RiTides**

You're a machine

**Wehrkind**

Heh, a machine with about 200 pages of readings clogging up the works

**Cyporiean**

An ancient soldier rides a diseased steed on an endless journey. The back roads of the Vandalands tremble with terror during the dark nights of the harvest months. Children are kept indoors, when the sounds of bird claws and unnatural wailing echo through isolated villages.

Many stories attempt to tell the tale of the Black Kiwi and it’s mysterious rider. North Vandal legends often describe the horrible end to a crusader on his return home; Southerners relate a tale of betrayal in a Count’s castle; and Marchlanders tell of the dark forests warping a lone wanderer into the spectre of death.

Wherev’ the dark figure comes from,
When the harvest moon fills the sky,
His bones and mangy steed return,
the Black Kiwi makes one last ride.
“The Legend of the Black Rider“ by Johann Karl Maus (1810 AF)

The Black Kiwi is a Limited Edition Historia Rodentia model and will only be available on our website and at The Warstore Weekend from Oct. 26-31 2012 for $20.

**Lockark**

That modle looks ace! Diffidently a crazy helmet he has going on their. =O

**Cyporiean**

As a heads up, we will have a very small supply of 'The Black Kiwi's at TWSW, so if you want to get one in person you'll need to stop by our booth early.

Website orders won't be limited, we just weren't able to get very many in before the show.

**RiTides**

I don't see a way to add it to cart on the website, Cyp?

I'll take 5

Also hoping to get something else you're interested in preorderable this week, something big and clockworky.

**RiTides**

Nice about the "other" item

I thought there was a comma in there ("Available on our website" and "at the warstore weekend from Oct 26-31). Got it now, obviously

No problem, I'm only snarky with the customers I love

**RiTides**

Lol... looking forward to seeing you guys on your way back down from TWSW, too

Me too, gotta make you play and then back Endless

**RiTides**

We'll see about that! But I would certainly like to either play or watch a game of it, if you guys are doing so (I'm going to try to meet up with you at Dropzone Games that evening now, will be calling Gymnogyps to make sure I don't miss you guys).

we can definitely run you through it at Dropzone, but in the meantime you can watch MiskatonicAlum go up against Sekai on Youtube.

**Zygrot24**

Having received said snark in person I feel loved.

The more that is getting released about EFT the more I like.

Oh ya, and The Black Rider will probably be added to my aquitar. Total disclosure: Still haven't fully assembled my shrew carbineers because the kiwis are agony getting together.

**Catyrpelius**

I guess I'm going to have to pick something up from the Warstore Weekend other then a hangover afterall...

**Cyporiean**

The Rider is getting closer!

Make sure to come lurk in the EFT thread.

You might be happy to know 'The Black Kiwi' is only 3 pieces: Kiwi, Rider, and Rider's Tail.

I just want to say thank you on that one!

After I got all the kiwi's put together, I was so frustrated with assembling the models I had to shelf them to finish the riders latter. Still haven't had the heart to tackle putting that unit together agien.

That's one model I will be looking foreword to making the switch to resin.
@M@

**Cyporiean**

Its not too likley that the Troop Kiwi Mount will switch over to a single piece resin, the casting for the Black Kiwi is very difficult and prone to going all finecast on us.

We're looking into making the Kiwis easier for folks to deal with, but I'm not sure when or how that will be done. The upcoming Chugoku Chickens should be a lot easier.

Possibly 4-5 pieces, depending on how the beak and ankles survive shipping to you

But yea, what Cyp said about the casting difficulty. Barring a resculpt to make the heads and/or legs separate bits, resin will be tricky. Though possible. Still working it out while trying to get 1000 other models made

**RiTides**

That's why I'm going to pick it up from you in-person one of these days, Wehr

Glad you were able to tackle it, at least enough for a limited release!

**Wehrkind**

Speaking of limited... if you want to order one and don't expect to get to TWSW in a few days to pick one of those up, you should shoot Cyp an email or PM about it. The mold is getting a little... sad and I don't know how many total are going to come out of it before they start taking pieces of mold with them. If people want like 30 I will probably make a new mold to do so. Otherwise this might be limited to ~25 black kiwis in existence ever.

I dunno, Cyp has the last word, but letting her know it is worth doing might be a good plan!

**Mr. Burning**

What ever that is I like it.
