I'm very very interested to see what their kickstarter project will be. Of course, it would help me a lot if you guys would start working towards devaluing your currency so that I could afford more (or anything for that matter...)!

No chance matey - we have a huge trade deficit as well as a huge national debt & we like it that way.

The Kickstarter will be fantasy-based.

And our currency currently 'is' devalued Worst against the dollar in years.

Unfortunately it looks like all the central banks are in a race to the bottom in terms of currency... sad times.

When are we likely to see the KS, or more information on it? I wouldn't mind stashing away a few pennies in preparation! Fantasy is likely to grab my attention at least in a few instances; I love Kev's understated fantasy model.

There'll be a little more information in each weekly newsletter. Current schedule is May/June (Depending on a few variables, for example our new studio artist just injured himself)..

Ouch, I hope he is alright!

I must have that dwarf shield maiden.

Newsletter with Salute collection code and new releases such as...

I had your "new releases" page on speed refresh when I saw her posted on facebook.

She and a few friends arrived yesterday and they look great; really looking forward to painting them.

Shame her cast was giving you so many issues you have had to change the model :(

I couldn't pass up Hasslefree models any longer. They've stayed on my mind consistently, so the wife and I just ordered two large "This Is Not a Test" warband's worth. I can't wait to see these in person, as the Foxtrot, definitely-not-Furiosa model sold us both on the entire range.

We're going to end up making new Frostgrave warbands out of Hasslefree next if these are as nice as they seem. :-)

Very jealous... I've been eyeing up HF for a couple of years and I could easily put together an order of 20+ models... I just can't justify getting models that I can't use in any games I play. At least not right now.

That's not quite true, the changed one with the leg cut off is for metal casting. This one will remain in resin as long as we can manage it. It's just a mould killer due to the small gap between her thighs, thin bits of resin mould tend to tear off with repeated use.

Because Kev is using it to make multiple clothed variants we had a couple of master moulds made straight up.

She still may die faster than normal though, we shall see. Just one of those things.

Well thank you We hope you like them too. Terrible time to finally decide to order, the UK closes for Easter so we can't impress you with our turnaround but I'm always confident in our quality.

Sorry, that is what I meant but was typing as I was getting in the car so had to cut it short

No worries Artemis. I figured between Salute, the holidays, etc... there could easily be a delay. I built-in my own expectations, and still have two Guildball teams on the painting table. I'm almost counting on having a couple weeks before your fine minis deliver. :-)

Definitely most excited, and looking forward to all of them, especially the Fox-trot 2-pack. Both variations just look sooo characterful. I expect each will be leading our next TNT warbands.

As for the price/investment... I didn't even bat an eye. I've thrown $100 at GW for some, honestly, despicably gakky miniatures. For about $105 US, shipped, i'm getting somewhere in the realm of 15 lovingly sculpted, and gorgeous, unique models. That feels like a deal to me.

I expect this will be preaching to the choir, but not only did my Hasslefree models already arrive... but they are some of the best metal cast minis i've ever received...

... OH, and the amazing folks there remembered me mentioning HERE that I was sad that Oscar/Not-Max was sold-out when I placed my order... and I find an Oscar in my box, with a happy face on the baggie.

Thank you so much Artemis and Co. You've got another fan for life, and i'll be placing another, larger order very soon!

(You're welcome NTN )

New Newsletter of Newness!

Desperate for that particular Red Box mini or Resin Master at Salute? Well pre-ordering is your only guarantee!

Don't give a flying fig about Salute? Well then there's a 10% off code in here for ya for the postage delay

Hey Artemis, any inside goss about future restocks you can share?

Waiting for some of the Modern Trooper head parts before I make my next order.

Modern Trooper bitz page is schedule for late May at the earliest sorry. The current heads, the heads not on the page and new stuff. Should be a big release with the metals of the missing troopers like Ace, Bomb and Kestrel.

Remoulds needed of the current bitz.

Artemis, how about a metal restock of Oscar/Not-Max? I've been waiting to place an order for ages waiting on it to be available again.

Thanks.

Cheers for the update Artemis.

He's up. He's arriving tomorrow from a fresh remould. The new mould broke immediately. We haven't put up the multipacks because we're waiting to see whether there's extra bodies.

Got him and a couple other figures ordered. When I finished paying (via paypal) it was weird, instead of a confirmation the site logged me out. I signed back in and see the order listed under my account, and did get a PayPal receipt, but I've never seen that happen before.

LOL... Sorry. I feel like it must've been your kindness to me that caused the exploding Oscar.

But on the up-side... my This is Not a Test warband now has "Oscar Mouldbreaker" on the roster. ;-)

I 'think' you got one of the weird ones from the first mould. The legs bent, so his legs are closer together than they should be. Might also be an odd line under his belt because of it.

No idea how it happened, but that first bunch of spins will be the only ones that have the legs close together.

That is odd. I ran a test order yesterday via paypal (to test the new email addresses and auto-emails) and it was fine. I'l let the web guys know but it's hopefully just a glitch.

Inside you will find such gems as Dynamic Ulfred...

Ooooh, I do love me some Vikings! I mean vikings...

I love that one of the ways HF made their not-Ragnar and not-Lagertha distinct from their TV insiprations was to give them more realistic armour. The silly heavy metal armour stuff is one of the very few things I dislike about that show.

A Hasslefree kickstarter in June, well I spent more on Hasslefree at Salute than anywhere else, so I can't begin to describe how much I'm ready for this.

Archmage Raisa

Raisa has grown in power considerably since her childhood. Now a freshly named 'Archmage' of Evermore she still travels almost exclusively with her sister, who has grown into quite the warrior herself.

More news on the Kickstarter this coming newsletter, it 'may' be delayed a little due to some home-related issues at the Whites, we shall see, it'll be tight.

From today's newsletter. Lookin good!

Kickstarter Tease!



Well we're coming up to our first toedip into the waters of the giant mysterious Kickstarter waters.

But don't worry, we don't have huge juggernaut plans to take over the world. Just a small, themed, Kickstarter that we'd like to know interest in before it taking over Kev's sculpting time for months.

The images above each represent a few small sets of miniatures, themed around a particular clothing type (or lack thereof) and based on the work of a particular artist.

That's all ya get for now, follow our FB page for more updates and make sure to catch next week's newsletter!.
