Fwiw, the recent CDC reports indicate that the previous laboratory findings of the virus living up to three days on certain surfaces don't hold up in practical community settings. Regardless, with the shipments coming from Mother Russia and likely taking a week or two to reach most countries means that it is a moot point anyways. Unless you ordered a Petri dish with nutrient agar along with your minis, you should be completely fine unless you lick every part of the packaging during unboxing.

Must not... make joke... about giving lady tankers a good licking....

Waiting on my first order to arrive.

Thanks to Covid19, I’m actually not bothered by the longer than expected wait time. I figure that’s more time for any pathogens inside the package to die off, and I already sanitize my mail and parcels anyway.

Damn, 'cause that's the shipping option I've been choosing.

I should get tested...

Nah, you'll be fine. If you can survive Vegemite, you can survive anything.

I LOVE the Zwerg! Really great execution of the concept--and they look PERFECT for the Squat Venator gang I wanted to build. Nice!

I love that you aren't making them dumpy little comic relief guys. They have actual legs, not feet attached to their torso. I would like to see them with weapons a bit more befitting a proud race of artificers (and the retinue of an Inquisitor), not plinky little lasguns (bolt pistols, please!). But they look soooooo coooool.

Don't you go talking trash about Vegemite, or you and I'll be having words.

Currently waiting on the dread lord I ordered to arrive. It was "released from Russia" on the 5th and that was the last update. But I'm more than happy to wait, not like I wasn't just gonna get too anxious to touch it for months anyway ha ha.

My rather large order from the beginning of March made it to St. Petersburg on the same day.

Some day it'll get here. Not like I've finished painting all my other Artel W stuff yet either...

Heh, my order was last spotted around the 10th of April at St. Petersburg, after which nothing else was heard from it since, still listed as in transit.

Hmmm...

My enthusiasm to purchase a lot of their miniatures is lessening...

Given the current pandemic and the fact that the Russian post office basically stopped overseas shipping, I'll cut them some slack.

There are a few eBay sellers in the states that stock their stuff though- I know Chaos Orc for sure has a pretty decent selection last I checked.

I don't think this is within their control and my initial order with them took months to arrive back when they discontinued a bunch of models due to a GW C&D onslaught but it eventually arrived. Regardless, I'd definitely mark on the calendar the cutoff date to get a refund in case it doesn't but that is my advice for EVERY internet purchase regardless.

Guys!
We are sorry for long waiting (very long waiting in some cases) - but it`s true, we have no control on that situation. Russian Post doesn`t stopped overseas shipping. But! Some parcesl stuck at customs or sorting centers for weeks, even month or even more - damn you, coronavirus! We can`t influencing on this in any way unfortunately. I totally understand how stressful and frustrating this situation is - imagine, how much stress I have with LITERALLY hundreds of such parcels at the moment. I`m answering emails about its all day long! I`m remembering order`s numbers and tracking codes!
But, there are good news. I`ve seeing every day that parcels appearing eventually. They are not lost - just stuck somewhere in between with all logistics mess caused by current crisis. So we have to wait... We`re all have to wait.

From Facebook:

Is that meant to be anyone specific. She seems very interested in that apple.

A 40K version of Snow White or the Evil Queen?

IIRC her official name is Albia Snow… so maybe?

I asked and she does indeed have seven short acolytes. No word if they will be sculpted for sale though.

IIRC they said that yes, there will be seven dwarves and yes, they will be available as well.

For some reason this came to mind when I read that..


"Hi Ho, Hi ho, it's off to purge we go, with power blades and hand grenades! Hi ho, hi ho....

Lovely model.

Is the 15% store discount still in effect?

They definitely need to fix the right thumb clipping through the swords hilt before it goes to manufacture, but shes a lovely render nonetheless.

Wow, that's some really nice development of a really dorky theme.

No need to, it will be applied automatically.

oh lord that would make for a hilarious inquisitor + retinue.

Added plus, is I can maybe sub them in as Arkanauts for my Kharadron XD

Well, I placed an order last night - we'll see how fast (!) it gets here.

Pending successful delivery, there are quite a few more miniatures that I'm planning picking up from them!
