That's a very, very nice sword

A preview of whats coming for Endless, Patrick Keith will be sculpting the following for us in October.. so possibly a Christmas Release:

I saw mention of the Dragoon on the KS page, as well... I'm sure that will be an extremely popular release!

Any word on when Kardaax will start getting sculpted?

Still trying to find an available sculptor who is good with Reptiles, I've got a few that I'm waiting to hear back from so hopefully soon.

Few more updates on various things

[R] Heavy Brigadier - Ready to go out, the website will be updated shortly!
Gecko Riders - Still having trouble getting the feet of the turtle to cast right, its remade mold is in queue to be the next one done.
[R] Badger-At-Claw V2 - Mold is curing and will be done in about 4 hours, we should be casting the first ones late tonight/tomorrow.
Badger Grenadier - In the same pot as the BACV2, so it will get casted around the same time as it.

When I pour the Turtle Mold redo I will most likely also put in either Tamatama or Changshu. There won't be much room so I don't want to try to do something with a lot of parts (Highlander, Regulars, Loxodon). We bought a second pressure pot the other day, and I intend to get it setup today so that we can have one pot doing molds (takes about a full day to cure) while the other casts figs (~4hrs per batch). This should mean I will be able to easily spend the week making the billion molds for Loxodon's parts and the other figures, plus a few new EFT molds.

So Feedback request time: Pick 2 Troops, 1 Exemplar*, and 1 Hero for Brushfire that you want to see sculpted sooner rather then Later.


*Other then Nevsky.

Why not Nevsky a good bear could be popular for people just to pick up in general, too!

hhuuummmmmm.....

For Troops.... PLEASE REDO THE KIWI RIDERS! They are some of my favourite models in brushfire, and amazing sculpts. But putting them together makes me cry!
T________T

I play both Aquitar and Vandalands, so you can only Imagen my pain!

I would also love to see the Sky Marines get done. Thow I would understand if you hold off to release them along side the Skyhawk Gunship. (That never made the list because I wasn't sure if it was a troop or not...)

For Exemplar's I'd like to see Standard Bearer/drummer Upgrade Packs for all the races that get these as exemplars, plus Sashimonos for Ribenguo. I find flags hard to scratch build.


As for Heros I'd love to get the Hedge knight.

Did you get any of the resin butt Kiwis Lockark? the legs and torso of the kiwi were made into a single part.

Or are you referring to the riders? I'll admit there are a lot of bitz, partly due to the fact that it is making two different models.

Sashimonos will see there way onto the plastic sprue for the Ashigaru!

Ideally our plastic kits will be a hit and we will be able to redo the the Carbineer/Hussar kit in plastic, but they would be down the list a little bit, I'd want to get the Weasel Fusiliers in plastic first. (with a Standard/Drummer upgrade sprue)

Though, being a two-faction kit that does make them of higher importance then say the Gopher Engineers or Civitan Marines...

I only own the old metal ones. I could care less about putting the riders together. Putting together the kiwi's them selves was a knightmare. I wasn't aware that the resin ones fixed this.... In all honesty I wasn't even aware they were now resin!

*Throws metal kiwi's into the drawer of purgatory*

In all honesty I'd rather see for example plastic Legion for the exomorphs before plastic kiwi's. It's more important every faction's basic troops are in plastic before something like the kiwi's.

That's the plan actually, focus on the Warbands first for plastic releases.

so since my only complaint about the kiwi's was fixed, I'm now going to say Skyhawk gunship.

I use the resin black kiwi models as my hussars... the metals are in their own drawer of purgatory.

I haven't seen a built "standard" kiwi in resin, but you can do the same with greenstuff (check out Gymnogyps blog) it is just a Lot of work.

Heath wanted to post this to his blog in triumph, but I'm also sharing it here:

Can I get a label on things specifying Brushfire or EFT (Okay, I know, this one's obviously EFT... but just saying, some of these animal drawings could be confused )

Looks Very good!

That's what we get for using one artist for everything!

Generally the EFT stuff should be pretty obvious (Humans/Elves/Dwarfs =/= Brushfire), but I'll try to make sure we tag them when posting... especially since we've got things in Brushfire that have names like things in Endless (Trolls!).


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Spurred on a bit by RiTides' post, here are the various concepts we have that have not yet been assigned to a sculptor:


Brushfire
Axony
Thomas Brude - Hero


Bram - Exemplar


Roland - Exemplar


Chugoku
Shu Hare - Troop
{Art Not Loading}

Wei Pine - Troop
{Art Not Loading}

Chi Bi - Hero


Master Jiao - Exemplar


Gan Zi - Exemplar


Pan Yu - Exemplar


Lu Pang - Exemplar


Civitas
Conquistador - Hero (Will get a slight redesign before sculpting)


Cult of Exomorphism
Jotnar - 120mm Base Troop


Diablo - Hero


Scyzantium
Siege Tortoise - 120mm Troop (Will get a slight redesign before sculpting)


Vandalands
Gotz Von Federwerk - Exemplar


Mercenaries
Captain Flintlock - Hero


Arsene Leblanc - Exemplar





Endless: Fantasy Tactics
Berserker - Class


Rune Fencer - Class


Barghest - Monster


Dark Dragon - Monster


Kirin - Monster


Lunarian - Monster


Fire Troll - Monster


Chain - Hero


Farrokh - Hero

I see that the Civitas Conquistador is not on that list, so it's already planned, if I'm not mistaken. Do you have a vague ETA on it? I won't put time on a personal sculpt for it if it's coming moderately quickly.

No, you just caught me between uploads.

The Conq is something I want to get done sooner rather then later, but I think it will end up being tied to the Conscripts plastic kit. (IE We'll have whoever does the Conscripts do the Conq at the same time for consistency.)

Sweet and sour then. It will be even cooler, but it also gives me some time for my conversion.

Some troops I am very curious to see in sculpt (sorry, not just 2) in no particular order - Veldt Hounds, Soqotran Corsairs, Faravahar, Sohei Toads. Most of these seem to be newer additions to the ranks so lets just say I'm not holding my breath for any of it.

Exemplar - Kardaax. Good artwork that could translate into a great fig. Otherwise Pan Yu, or Bram.

Hero - Zabar Chieftain - How would you even begin to find a proxy on a 60mm base that fits in with the rest of Zabar? Uh-Oh...I just had a horrible thought. I just got my Reaper Bones (with extra fire giants) and I have some metal hippo cav models sitting around. A head swap could get me a passable, if top-heavy, chieftain.

Veldt Hounds are a pretty high personal priority for Zabar, other then Loxodon they have been the most requested thing by Zabar players.

Announcement for Kardaax is coming, just finalizing the terms.

Skorne Warbeasts might be a decent proxy for the interim. I'm fairly sure there is a Rhino amongst them. Its pretty likely we'll have Kardaax's sculptor do Reytax.

Nice summary of concepts still in the pipeline, thanks for posting it!

As for what I'd like to see, I'm partial to the bugs, and someone might start a turtle army with the seige tortoise added to your turtle cav. So, all those would be exciting

But if there are gaps to fill in current factions, that could be more important to more people (like Nevsky for Vandalands, who is already in the queue ).

Siege Tortoise is really a matter of budget more then anything, I know that it will end up being 2~4 times the cost of the most expensive sculpt we've done so far, before we even get to the casting stage. So I gotta make sure we can afford to produce it, and that there will be enough demand to offset that.

The Bugs on the other hand, are coming along smoothly. We're actually going to hold off on releasing them to the public until we have 4~5 units ready to go, and do a big splash release for them. That way a COE player can have a nice variety of options for army building on day one rather then just Legion spam (Not that I have a problem with someone buying 5 Horde Boxes of Legion day 1...). With the 2.0 rules nearly done, we'll likely be releasing the playtest doc for COE soon.

Aye, I think Arctos will be a great boon to the line.

Awesome, thanks for posting that it's really interesting. I'm really tempted to try sculpting my own versions of some of those to see how well I could do.

I was looking around on your website, and saw some new art in the gallery. I hope you don't mind me posting this.
This is my only response towards this new unit.


Also more wasp.

Those images were in Historia Rodentia, a Brushfire campaign supplement for Mongoose Publishing's RPG Legend.

Those will, of course, also be the basis for the sculpts for CoE models.

Wow, I need to read through it more... I totally missed those!
