Army Sculpting Commission

[Dave]

Yep, 10 line troops and 2 command. I'm going to ask him to allow them to be easily separated (like the Dwarf Rangers, not like the High Elf archers).

Either way, with 5 line troop strip variants there's 120 possible combinations you can exhaust before putting the same variant strip on a base twice.

[Stormwind]

OK when you put it like that that does seem to make a lot of sense in terms of character combinations!  I was a little skeptical as the Eureka and Pendraken single figures don't let you get many on the base and as such they don't seem to offer the sense of scale that the old GW strips did.

[fracas]

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.

Gotcha!

[David Wasilewski]

If they are compatible with the old GW Empire range, I'll buy 4 units too!

Ed's sending him Halberdiers and Skirmishers as a size/proportion/style reference. There will be no skull iconography on them however.

[Stuart Bleything]

Sound like I'm hooked for four units . Would these be in metal ?.

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

Hmm, I'm not so sure you'd get much interest with Pikemen, there are plenty of suitable figures available commercially already TBH. Might be easier to break even/make a profit if you commissioned something that isn't already on the market?

[Stuart Bleything]

I don't know , some new pikemen would be nice .

Consider me down for at least two proper units of bihanders!

A very interesting Russian 28mm company with decent prices - if only they did 10mm fantasy figures. Gotta love their chaos dwarves!

they make 28mm only. but I have a comission for using their CD art in my 10mm range.

[andys]

Bel, are you saying you'll be making 10mm Chaos Dwarves?!

[Bel]

not now.  Autumn/winter release probably.

[Stormwind]

Oh my goodness that would be amazing!

[jchaos79]

I will be interesting in on or two zweihandern.
