Whats on the corks this week Dave?

I am enjoying myself immensely this week.  I love converting, as you may know if you follow my Kingsminis blog, and as a collector of old citadel minis, I rarely have things that I can hack up and change.  This week I have been attacking some miniatures for the fine folks at Eureka, sawing off limbs and sculpting on grizzly details onto some great sculpts.  I will leave it for them to announce the range, but boy its great to be converting again!

RIBBIT!

  A parcel arrived the other day which contained, among other goodies, three big bags of Bederken Toads back from casting!  I bet you have been wondering where they have been.  No?  Oh, can you just pretend you do?  Okay then.
   So hey, Bederken Toads!  Woot!  Anyway, I have been merrily adding trappings on to them in the ten minute gaps where my commissions are baking in the mini oven.  Rogue/ranger/thief, warrior, wizard, warlock, vampire, cyborg and zombie are all rolling along nicely, and I keep chuckling to myself as I come up with more ideas.  Unfortunately I will have to cram them into a single mould for series one, so depending on sales, all the other whacky figures will have to wait.

OGRES!

The first of my retro styled Ogres will be hitting the shop in the next month- first up is an Ogre with ship cannon!  'Fing go boom.  Makes lotsa eaties.'  Its a one piece casting that just fits on a round base!

NEW DWERG INCOMING

I have a few commissions to go, but after that I will be putting the finishing touches on the first of the new Dwerg releases and they will be off to the moulds!  About time sez you.  Pass the rum sez I.

NEW WEBSITE

Since there are so many new releases scheduled to be arriving at the same time, the website will be having a bit of a revamp and may be down for a few hours soon.  I will let you know when...  as before, if your one of the first five in after re-opening, you may even steal yourself a secret bonus limited edition figure months before everyone else gets their sticky paws on 'em.  Booty!

BOOZE
If anyone is wanting to send me booze, I like fine malt whiskeys.  Nothing under ten years please.

FIFTEEN MILS OF DOOM
Oh yeah, one last thing... got me a new game in the works... name of Stardred.  Naturally, figures will be part of that whole experience... just want your opinions... 15mm scale?  (more figures for your buck) 30mm scale?  (more detail) Or simply 28mm like everyone else?  Love to hear your thoughts...
