I just got a shipping notification for a small amount of Metal's I've been waiting on. Is the metal casting in house yet or is that still a bit off?

According to Rob, they've had to apply with the city council to get clearance to cast metals. He says it could take up to 8 weeks for approval. But until then, they're still working with the other caster to get things done.

That's actually good to know, I was figuring they were holding off on new metals till they got their own set up running as several that I'm waiting on have been released to general in resin and the metals got pushed back from June release to October not too long ago.

I have...things...in PACKING!
OMG Encrusted Thuulac, My custom Branbeca..
Ooh, I better confirm with them that this IS my custom one, and not an off the shelf version.

I wonder if customs of any country has ever stopped a package from them wondering “WTF is a yv,hookyfhfcbfx,j is?”

From the same update as the Mega Scorp.

Next for Bob is the awesome giant tortoise turtle thing, Schyrós, for the Khthones... rumours of Sávrar riding on its back on a giant howdah complete with some kind of greek fire lobbing heath robinson type machine are completely true.

Also, the new Cerol Freemen were shown (WIP), and some of the Human warlords were being adapted to fit more into the 'Far Thule' Fomoraic Sub-realm (They're basically the more caveman/barbarian like group where all the prehistoric mammals and Mammoth men and whatnot come from).

I Really like the changes, the lady has been done for months and it's one of the reasons I bought those two warbands and also one of the reasons I'm annoyed they got delayed as I could really use them for a game I'm running.

The chances that Byzantii will become my 2nd Kindred after my Ysians just shot up!

Great stuff Bob!

And...ordered...absolutely awesome model!

Anyone here looking to carry some troops on their mammox?



Howdah ya like this?

Not really TBH. The pose of the Mammoth would really make it impractical to put minis in so they'll have to "level it" which will also look strange.

Besides, I think it looks great without one:

Oh man, I love this! Is that a 2D sketch or do you have a 3D model/render made up? Would be an awesome thing for them to 3D print and cast as an add-on...

Tower Banbreca & Banbreca (some axe spikes not fitted)


Encrusted Thuulac and Thuulac


Reiver Hunters

The Banbrecas look great, but with Mierce's disappointingly inconsistent 'regular humans' scale, I wonder what size those skeleton archers are at?

Maybe they're all at the newer, bigger size?

Yeah, I've stopped buying infantry sized figures from Mierce, the scale differences between figures can be very off-putting.

Those two Thuulacs

Here's a couple more.
Sweety Peats!


What a crabby group!


Mr.Fat & Big Boney


EDIT:

And Boidz!

Those all look incredible! Well done, Mierce!

Does this mean I'll finally be able to buy some Peat Beasts soon? Yay!

Yes, I think so!

Got mine in last week finally - well worth the wait as they turned out great!

Those crab dudes! So excited for my scuttle bois <3

- Salvage

Woot, I have my first delivery from Mierce in a long time.
Branbeca arrived missing his hands, but I don't blame them as my Branbeca was a Frankenstein of Tower and Capture versions.
(I wanted Capture Branbeca, but with Tower's awesome Lantern o'skulls and 1-handed axe)
Thuulac is awesome, and i have my inspiration to pint him based on a particular crab species.
I sold 2 of my Nuncranca to a gent here on Dakka, and kept Uulo for myself.



Automatically Appended Next Post:
Note to anyone viewing the images of Branbeca above, the three different version have three different arrangements of boots.
Only Capture has no boots, which is the arrangement shown above, and is NOT what you would received if you ordered the normal or Tower versions .

Tower has one boot

And the normal version has two boots.


I don't like the boots at all, as they destroy the sense of scale, I mean, who cobbles 8 foot boots?
YMMV

Not sure where to put this, and really don't wanna come off as pushy

But how long is an order typically held on 'packing' before it's shipped out? Just my order has said 'packing' for a couple of weeks now, and I just was curious if I should expect it soon (since I'm currently moving around a fair bit for work)

There's no real hard and fast rule in terms of how long it takes to go from 'packing' to 'shipped', but it seems to usualyl be right around two weeks, plus or minus some also random amount of time.

I'd say that 2 to 3 weeks is probably 'typical'.
