Hey all

We are on the road to Belgium today to prepare for Crisis tomorrow so apologies for a brief update. I know you all like your Friday dose of renders so here we go :)

As if they were not horrific enough!

Some slight changes to be done on the other poses for these but hopefully share them with you next week when we will have an update on the guys board, loads of new renders and more!

A Titan Approaches!

Hey all

Exciting one this week as I have a Titan to show you!

Renders!

Want a close up? OK!

We also have an alternate pose necromancer for our Zombies

Speaking of Zombies

PRINTING

We also printed a Pyramid! Look how big this thing is! It will make a great piece of terrain.

Its roughly 90cm! I just whipped a tape measure out but its actually quite hard to measure exactly due to its shape :)

Display Board

Jason and Chris left the door open on their room so I snuck in and got this photo. I'm not sure I can decipher all of these hieroglyphics but that bottom left looks like a general on horse riding between troops which might be there to throw me off or might be part of the eventual plan for the board. Who knows!

CRISIS!

Next weekend a few of us here will be travelling to Crisis wargaming show in Antwerp. If you are there then come over and say Hi! I will bring some bits from the campaign with me to show you.

I just saw an email full of awesome new renders but that will have to wait until next week ;)

The Queen is in residence!

Hi all

Another Friday update and the first with an elf! Our most picked item so far in the backerkit. The Queen! 

We are going to print her this week to check scaling etc and so there might be some minor edits to come but. The cloak may need adjusting but we will see what the resin boys can do!

Last week I promised to show you more RUMBLESLAM. The big guy isn't quite finished but following the Anubti from last week here are the rest of the team.

Rei and Lewis have been working with Sculptor Dave on these and I think they look fantastic! Can't wait to see the Superstars and Beetle!

What next? How about some Jackals?!

Next week I will check in on the boys and their display board. Having returned from a shopping spree at the local hardware store, I am told they are currently in what is known as the 'planning stage'. To me that just looks like drinking lots of tea, scribbling on a whiteboard and eating as many biscuits as possible.

Still working on some extra accessories for the backerkit. If I can't get them added next week we will at least have some info on what is being added :D

I've just replied to messages and will be hitting the comments next :)

ROCKET FRIDAY!

Hi all!

A quiet one this week as loads of the latest current renders are being sent back for changes. The RUMBLESLAM team is almost finished and looking fantastic! You will get to see them next week. I of course do still have a few new things to show you though!

Really happy with how these have come out!

Go on then, one render from the RS team

Was passing through the resin room in the week and I saw some mummy prints that the guys will be getting ready for mastering.

I'm glad its not my job to clean off all those supports!

Back next week, hopefully with some handy accessory additions for the backerkit ;)

Our Sphinxiest update yet!
over 6 years ago – Fri, Oct 11, 2019 at 03:37:10 AM

Hi all

This week the guys printed that massive piece of sphinxy terrain. Its HUGE!

This weekend the pyramids are going on the printer so will have them to share in our next Friday update.

ART

Rei revisited the Dread Sphinx as previously it was hastily done to pop in the stretch goal map during the final moments of the campaign.

Renders

The Battle Sphinx above has a few edits coming. Its body currently looks to be rotting which we have asked to be changed. The chains to its mouth are being removed (its well trained) and the crew member 'driving' it is being tasked with holding javelins for the other more accurate crew members instead.

In other news

We have done another test print on the elves and the scale isn't quite right yet but I think that will be resolved in the next week and then I can start showing you some of them :D

The resin team are enjoying the desert of the dead miniatures so much that they are now building a display board ready for next years show cicuit! They even stole an office for it apparently!

This will feature in our updates every few weeks so you guys can see how it is progressing. This week they are sourcing materials so there isn't much to show but look out for its first appearance soon :)

Back next week!
