Bitz sites! Anybody? I'm 100% done with bitzbox.co.uk. They never have anything in stock even though they always claim to have restocked.

Or you all could just PM DaTroll and tell him what you need. He's got a huuuuuuuge pile of bits boxes of all kinds of armies he wants to get rid of.

I don't remember if anyone has posted the Diehard kickstarter yet...

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/diehardminiatures/diehard-miniatures-oldhammer-fantasy-miniatures

I can't believe I'm saying this, but... I ~~really want~~ just pledged for those ~~Slann~~ Eru-Kin. No idea what I would do with them, but I like the figures nonetheless.

Aaaaaannnnnnd.... it's cancelled. Email says they are reconsidering their goals & will be starting a new KS in early November.

They had over $10k in pledges, I would think that should be plenty enough to put those figures into production, so hopefull it works out next time.

Had a quick look at the campaign and it seems like they were overly ambitious with their stretch goals and the campaign success in general. Most minis didn't look that good to be honest.

About the bitz sites: bitzbox.co.uk is really not that great. I did manage to order twice from the guy and that worked fine for the most part, but usally everything is out of stock for months. With the introduction of AOS, the number of offered bitz from WHFB kits was halfed, which doesn't make the site any more attractive either, but I think that's a problem that all bitz-selling sites and shops have now.

Hoard 'o Bitz was great, before the US post drastically increased the shipping cost to Europe, which makes ordering from the US pointless.

Noticed that too. For an order of 27 dorra, I had to pay almost 15 dorra in shipping. So 42 dorra together...
I ultimately went for Megabitzshop, a German page. They sell whole mounts, not that single bit crap other sites do.

I don't know where you live, but I'm pretty sure that you would also have to pay import taxes in this case already - That's the next big problem when ordering from the US (or from any non EU country in my case).

Possibly. Depends on how they ship it. It seems completely random at times. I did have to pay import on a game from the US, Dead of Winter (have NEVER played it...) but when I imported a rare video tape from Australia, no fees. Same for bitz from America, oddly enough.

They will be produced. Warlord Games just doesn't seem to have them scheduled in any recent future. Maybe they will be out 2017 at this rate?

Westfalia · « **Reply #2885 on:** October 26, 2015, 01:31:59 PM »

Stefan, the former owner of Pro Gloria, told me that they'll reduce the number of models to save some money during mold making. can't really comment on the release date.

This outfit has a 35% off sale on the figures ... a mixture of fantasy and sci-fi items ...

I found them a bit small to really field them with anything but Red Box or some of Hasslefree's smaller offerings.

GamesPoet · « **Reply #2888 on:** October 28, 2015, 09:12:14 PM »

Good to know, so probably more like the old Ral Partha series of 25mm figures, eh?

Midaski · « **Reply #2889 on:** October 28, 2015, 09:37:50 PM »

The site states they are 32mm

ZeroTwentythree · « **Reply #2890 on:** October 28, 2015, 10:35:27 PM »

I know that the Shieldwolf Ogres & lion riders have been posted here before. I was looking into the rest of their figures and when I saw these, they made me think of followers of Morr:

Welcome to Tinminis.com! Drawing our main inspiration from early 20th century science fiction, fantasy, and pulp literature, our goal at TinMan Miniatures ltd. is to provide a unique, quality alternative to the usual fare of minis available in the 28-32mm range. Our miniatures are made from a lead-free pewter alloy. They are not intended for children but are instead meant for collectors, painters, and gaming enthusiasts. Though we have several one-piece models, many others are sold as multi-piece kits and require some assembly and removal of flaws caused by the molding process. A minimal degree of modeling skill is recommended. Unless listed otherwise all of our miniatures are in 32mm scale where a six-foot tall man is about 32mm from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Miniatures shown on our catalog pages have been inked and lightly brushed to bring out the details.

I goofed, my apology. Saw that site with the fantasy/sci-figures for the first time, and partially because I'd picked up the sale that was running elsewhere. Besides, I'd forgotten about the other thread.

Oh sweet. Always wanted me some Ral Partha stuff. They mix quite well with GW stuff, I hear.

Not enough skulls. Why don't sculptors get it right?

Syphon · « **Reply #2897 on:** October 29, 2015, 03:12:47 PM »

Come to think of it, neither skulls nor codpieces. And certainly not skull codpieces.

Sorry, just moved it there. I somehow hadn't noticed that thread, but will follow it from now on.

Some yes, some no. Some was even sold by GW at one point.

One of the other good things about Ral Partha Europe is that they've expanded beyond the old Ral Partha ranges and also include figures from Das Schwarze Auge, Heartbreaker and others.

But with that in mind, I think the scale of the figures varies a bit.

When you're enough of a badass to wield two scythes, your minimum skull quota is lowered.

It was only a gentle jibe guys - Darius created the thread and I stickied it as I thought we should all help each other to enjoy bargains.

In fact I am all for them being promoted in as many places as deemed appropriate so this thread qualifies too.
