I've just found this beautifull set by Front rank figurines. They also have baggiage carriage set, which is kinda irresistible not to have.

They also have the cheapest command figs on the net! and nice looking too.

Those are nice figures - good find, Darius!

Those are really nice, and nice price too (I think).
I really want to get into the non-GW miniatures

I used to think the green color on miniatures was greenstuff added to the miniatures, but in this case I would be wrong, right?

edit: I wrote game instead of case, which made no sense.

First I apologize I wrote game instead of case.

Looking for answer on their website I see that its not totally finished, which hints towards a small business. My first guess is that they/he/she uses as base other models and then *upgrades* them with details. After he/she could create mold and make copies to sell or just repeat the process for each order.

If they do green stuff in each model then would mean that no model would be the same, which I think would be really nice.

Colder or warmer?

DariusZero · « **Reply #2106 on:** September 24, 2013, 02:14:07 PM »

You are right, only that the upgrading is here on purpose, meaning the sculptor can create new figures, without having to go all the way from the scratch, but not only that, he can make new figs with the same proportions and fashion as the rest of the line and he is saving a lot of time along the way.

Even non-professional sculptors can buy precast metal "dollies" from a few different companies, and then sculpt your own details on them. They range from abstract armatures, to skeletons, to "nude" figures. I think most pros use their own to speed thinks up.

ZeroTwentythree · « **Reply #2108 on:** September 24, 2013, 05:04:37 PM »

Here's some examples of commercially available dollies.

White Knight · « **Reply #2109 on:** September 25, 2013, 08:51:21 AM »

Even GW have always used dollies to convert more variants from. While it owuld indeed be nice if each common soldier had it's own unique full sculpt, that is simply not affordable.

As it is, my own private project has reused conversion of bodies in some of the sets and even with that it is still far from the break even point. There's just not enough money in it to do as you suggested.

Brother Vinni has joined the ''morion'' club.

DariusZero · « **Reply #2111 on:** September 29, 2013, 09:39:50 PM »

Raging heeroes' new ''toys''. Knowing the quality they can achieve with the final figs, this will probably be their best seller.

Supposedly..........french humour.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #2114 on:** October 03, 2013, 07:54:25 PM »

Not sure if those already popped up....but they even put it in their name that they are a rip off.

Timbor · « **Reply #2115 on:** October 03, 2013, 10:55:02 PM »

Wow, they have some really nice sculpts there. The prices aren't too bad either, mostly on par with the more current GW core troops. The examples on the site look nicer IMO... I guess it also depends on the quality once they are in your hand.

DariusZero · « **Reply #2116 on:** October 04, 2013, 07:24:59 AM »

Forge world has some real competition here, and they are made from metal and for 1.7€ a piece.

Wait, have I just said you can buy an excellent metal dwarf figure for a 1.7€, with ten in a box? I must be dreaming.

Unfortunately, Dwarfs are still stunted little freaks and need to be pogrommed.

Came upon this. Not sure of the scale though.

After 4Ground it appears someone is producing plastic buildings - per NorthStar

But without the snazzy interiors....

Midaski · « **Reply #2123 on:** October 07, 2013, 09:35:56 AM »

Agreed but it depends on the price of the plastic stuff.

The 4Ground Wild West town buildings are great - I had a close up look at Salute.
Their Saxon / Medieval hovels have interior detailing - not as much as the Wild West stuff, but then again for fantasy warhammer or historical just lifting the roof off is enough to be able to let roops occupy it - and 'furniture' woud probably get in the way of your handgunners.

For skirmish games detail is better.
