Army Sculpting Commission

[awesomeshotdude]

this looks really promising! Will it be possible to buy some of the casts when you finish the army?

Yes, when they are all done, the full range will be available for purchase.

Wow , excellent news .

I just heard from Bob Naismith today, he's accepted a 10mm commission of mine.

Hoping to have a progress pic or two by the end of May.

Dave - very interesting. Will they be "just" Greatswords, or are you having anything else sculpted. Halberdiers or Crossbowmen for example?

[Dave]

Just the swords for the moment, but with the hope that I'll sell enough to pay for another commission (pikemen).

[Stormwind]

It strikes me that perhaps it would be impossible to form a consensus across all communities for Warmaster to create something because of the sheer amount of options we would like to see explored.

However, it also seems that if several people could unite on a single commission together in a small cabal, something could get off the ground.  Lots of people have pledged to the Evil Men kickstarter, and lots of people pledged to an ogre army when they were expecting a minimum of 4 unit types.

I would be willing to pledge a couple of hundred pounds with others in a group if at the end of the day some big hatted dwarves or beastmen strips were forthcoming.

[andys]

Depending on what was on offer on the big-hat front, I'd go £50-£75.

Warriors, Blunderbusses and a Death Rocket would be nice. I'd go with Eureka for the Bull Centaurs/Dwargons and the Earthshaker/Hellmaw though.

6 units of Warriors, 4 of Blunderbusses and a couple of Death Rocket units would be my wishlist, £6 or so per unit. If that's possible!

[Big Red]

Excellent option Dave....

I'll buy some when they're ready for sale to help fund some further commissions.

Put me down for 4 units.

[Stuart Bleything]

Sounds interesting , how many different varients would there be ?
Any officers etc ?

Could be intetested in four units and other people i know may be interested .

[Dave]

5 two-man strip variants, and a two-man command strip. 15 strips to make a unit.

[fracas]

I think 7 wide strips with 3 variants with one command strip would be my preference.

[Dave]

The problem with that approach was that the cost was higher (as it was by figure). Your suggestion would cost more than double to sculpt.

[Stormwind]

Ah Dave, thanks for saying that, I didn't realise it would be like that. For Zweihanders having them facing forward in strips like archers actually makes sense when you look at how they are ranked in the skirmisher strips.

[andys]

5 two-man strip variants, and a two-man command strip. 15 strips to make a unit.

So a total of 12 different(-ish?) figures? Sounds a very reasonable approach.
