I\'m diggig the troll definitely looking forward to how these are gonna fiish.. The Orc looks a lot better now .. How about an alternative ogreish or even human mad barbarian type head...
The troll would look cool with a nice open lots of teeth mouth...

Yes, yes, a troll mouth with loads on needle teeth is in the works. As for human barbarian head do you mean like a LotR type of orc? I am planning a human barbarian miniature as one of the first 7 releases so there is one in the works. I plan to make him work as a mix for an empire conan type or a chaos marauder type. :twisted: Back on topis for the troll I also plan a stitched up face with a missing eye and was thinking of the same thing for an orc head. I figure I could offer these heads as conversion sprues also.

If you have a barbarian head planed the no worries.. I was thinking something along the lines of chunk out of the goonies might work for a random dugeon dwelling freak type option...???

Great work on these, and I think I may owe you an apology as I thought very little of previous works that I had seen these however are very nice especially the Orc and when they are cast up would definitely buy them.

I agree with you but have been getting mixed answers about this. I\'ve mentioned it on my own to several friends who have seen him and they believe if I make the feet larger it might come off cartoonish. That is the last thing I want and since it is an orc and they are known to have massive upper bodies I\'m torn about trying to do something with it.Originally posted by sg2009
is it just me or do the feet on the ork look a little small ??? Great sculpts though, can\'t wait to see them finished

Also on the wolf head, I think the picture distorts it some but I believe you might be right. I\'ll see if I can figure it out and fix it.As for all the ideas thank you a lot. I think I\'ll just make up a sprue of say 5 heads, 2-3 orc, one a ogrish semi-human head, and the chunk mutant freak head. I can then offer that sprue as conversion options for people as well.
As for the mini will probably be a day or two before pics. I started the axe and all the little buckles that have to go on those straps.
Lots of real tiny fiddly stuff that does not show much at all.hivetrygon

A lot of people did not like the wrestler looking belt, so I made a new design. Plan is for those disks to have ocish skulls with nose rings and tusks. I will be hanging chains from the nose rings with spikes on them swaying back and forth. Troll now has hands for the attachment to the loin cloth, like a flayed person is used. This other is the wraith in progress just to show the planed wind effect. I have to go back and detail the piece sticking out and blend it back into the mass. He will be pointing in the direction the wind is blowing. Should be the best wraith ever if I pull it off. :bouncy:

Kits before molds soon I\'ll have casts cleaned up and inked. No cr@ppy dipped minis this time. I\'m just going to give them a dark ink wash.
wraith so far:

Loving the wraith and the kits are looking good.
I really like your sculpting style man, the orcs build and armour are perfect, everything about it has the right element of chunky brutishness - especially the chain mail, it\'s spot on! How exactly did you get it to be that shape?Also a fan of that robe, nice to see one looking so dynamic and gentle at the same time
any more detailed pictures of your head choices available?

On the chain mail shape, do you mean the body shape or the links? If you mean the links I poke the putty with a needle tool at a slight direction toward the left and after finishing a line then go the opposite direction. It make the lines look like waves and more like chain. Took me a while to figure that out. I used to alternate holes and now it\'s better.Originally posted by Byronic

As for better pictures of the heads and weapons. For some reason I can\'t get the camera to take light enough photos so I\'m hoping the the actual casts will look better when inked up, which they should. I\'ll have enough contrast for them to show.

A few updates. The wraith will be done today. and this new dwarf is turning out fantastic. It was hard to get proportions right at first and took some work but I figured it out in the end.

Here are the kits, cast, assembled, and primed. I will ink them for the store when they go on sale. Orc will be $8 for all the options show, troll $15 as shown. I am revamping the entire site for easier navigation and a little spruceing up. Anyway enjoy, and yes I missed a few things cleaning the casts, hard to see in person, so small.

Oh my, those have turned out awesome! It was cool seeing from start to finish the progression that each one went through and it was worth seeing! Very nice can\'t wait to see them painted up
