Want it to be friendly looking and small. Regular dog style for a hobbit tracker, not a huge war dog

Hamlet might be funny, bigger than the halflings!

[Karl Voss of Averland]

Findlay, your halfling should ride the first dog, hassle free hamlet, and paint him like Scooby-Doo

[GamesPoet]

That top dog looks like Scoobie Doo.

Any helpful ideas for miniature birds and dogs?

[The Red Graf]

Works in progress from Dark Maenad Games. The sculptor is Olivier Bouchet.

unimpressed by resin and metal castings of some companies i've used recently.

Don't feel so resentful of scraping plastic GW mould lines now...

[The Red Graf]

Oops, I guess you can't post an image from that source. Let's try that again with some updated work in progress shots. Two female fighters, works in progress from Dark Maenad Games. The sculptor is Olivier Bouchet.

[The Red Graf]

Almost finished. These will be resin multi part figures. The idea being that you can mix and match and more options will be added as the line expands.

wow I love them and I like the fact they are all fighty without being nude, boobs hanging out etc.

[Gneisenau]

The weapons are too clunky for me - rapiers would have been better. Otherwise I agree.

Thanks guys, I am very excited about this project. I have no illusions about making much money, but I would like to make some cool miniatures.

Gneisenau, the girl with the sword and dagger was supposed to be carrying a schiavone and a main gauche. My understanding from Olivier is that once the greens have been baked the swords will be polished up. I don't think a rapier is very feasible in resin though I would like to be able to be able to produce some. As I said the arms will be swapable so if I can manage it down the line you can change out the weapons.

Zak, that's what I was shooting for, glad you like them.

Agree on the need to make the sword smaller, but I'd consider them for my 16th century skirmish project. Sensible female sculpts are in short supply.

[ZeroTwentythree]

Would be good for DoW duelists!

It's your project? That's great! I must have missed that.

You're probably right about the resin. Anybody who wants a smaller blade can use a sewing needle or something similary.

I was playing that bit close to the vest, but yes it's mine.

When can we buy the little beauties?

When can we buy the little beauties?

Olivier sent them to GRX last week. I am not sure how long casting will take.

[Akbar]

Keep us posted!

[The Red Graf]

Keep us posted!

Thanks, I hope to find out tomorrow when I will have them in hand.

FYI I have contracted with Olivier for three more figures. I am thinking about one being a Highlander girl in kilt and maybe a Russian/Kislev girl.

Also, MIKH is doing a female mage and her apprentice. I told him something very Baroque, like a 40K inquisitor except for Fantasy. These will not be available until next year though.

From the Frostgrave dynasty:

This will be followed in November by Forgotten Pacts, another print supplement which focuses on demons and the barbarian tribes that live in the mountains to the north of the Frozen City. And yes, the rumours are true, the book will be supported by a new box of plastic barbarian miniatures. (I have seen the 3-ups and they are awesome!).

Looking forward to those.

Not overwhelming, but I like the concept, and you cannot argue with the price. 12 GBP for three minis is a good offer.

*insert Brexit joke*

This might be interesting. Osprey seem to have produced some reasonable new rules sets working in partnerships over the last few years.
Lion Rampant, Dragon Rampant, On the Seven Seas, Ronin, Frostgrave to name a few.

The Roman Empire rules the civilised world with an iron fist, seemingly all-powerful and limitless. And yet, the power of Rome is secured not by its mighty legions, but by small bands of warriors and agents fighting a secret war. Tasked by the Emperor to explore ancient temples, forgotten labyrinths and beast-haunted caverns, they seek out artefacts hidden by the gods themselves, hunt creatures of myth and face enemies that would use dark magic against the empire.
 Broken Legions is a set of fantasy skirmish rules for a war unknown to history, fought in the shadows of the Roman Empire. Various factions recruit small warbands to fight in tight, scenario-driven battles that could secure the mystical power to defend - or crush - Rome. A points system allows factions to easily build a warband, and mercenaries and free agents may also be hired to bolster a force. Heroes and leaders may possess a range of skills, traits and magical abilities, but a henchman's blade can be just as sharp, and a campaign can see even the lowliest henchman become a hero of renown.

Sounds interesting. I had been considering a home-brewed  fantasy Roman game set in Germania a while ago. Think I'll have to check this out!
