By the way Reaper do an undead lion (with rider) which is also rather good. - Bloodfinger

I'd assumed that the bishop was kneeling in prayer rather than a midget, but it's hard to be sure from the picture. Perhaps Jakar's right and he's praying for a choirboy of his own!

"The Light Infantry and the Light Centyrs are now available, the remainder of the miniatures will be released in the coming months. Images are being prepared and will be added shortly." Hmmm....what can I sell? - ohkier |

How can a figure that is $1.75 not be expensive (and it isn't even imported.) Now if the majority were 1.00 or less I could see cutting some slack.

I know the line is pretty small at the moment, but Kev is working on some more stuff (should have some of those wonderful pics from his highly advanced digital camera some time next week). He actually modelled Liberty after his wife (who also chose the name), so you might not be popular with mrs. White at the moment . Hopefully I can get a better pic of her (Liberty, the axewoman... not Kev's wife) when he sends me one next week. Oh and I have added the reason for the Hassle Free name to the FAQ - Jenova
I like the Paladin (as an example of "non-Celtos") a great deal. The pose is great (although I don't wish to start another debate about static vs. dynamic poses). I'll certainly buy the dwarf chick if given the chance.
I like the dark elf, especially the spider, but I have some reservations about the outfit. Or more precisely the lack of it. Those shoes seem a little unappropriate for a swordwielding dark elf too. The face is lovely though. Did I mention I like the spider?
The paladin is splendid (if Joan of Arc was half as beautiful, no wonder why so much people followed her ), the space dwarf is really cute (more more!) and so is Mrs White's mini (it looks way more healthy than the more and more common anorexic fianna-like minis ). I don't mind the first ogre and the dwarf, the two minis are good but I can't stop thinking that they lack some personnality, on the other hand, the armoured ogre is very interresting: The ogre face looks way better (I don't know if it's linked to the teeth, the less human shape of the skull or simply the lack of helmet though...) and the mini gives this cool mixed feeling of a brutal and barbarian creature but in the same time civilised enough to shave its face and forge complex armours and weapons, that's really great! - - LFant

As for the Wraith, Ooh, how timely! I think I saw his second cousin on the silver screen not too long ago...
Girl with antlers is OK.
I was going to say the same thing about the girl with the Big Hair and the spear, but then I tried to work out what the heck she could be doing in that position, and failed.

There are somewhat better pictures of the Superfigs civilian packs than we saw at OG. Finally, the Larry Elmore (the art equivalent of sculpting's Sandra Garrity if you ask me) box sets are available.

*Wait. With that much gold, I could buy all the minis and rpg books in a store. Don't know if that would include the EE stuff, though

This female, on the other hand, is sort of disturbing. While knock-kneed was fun in orcs, in her it just makes her look like she has a neurological disease. I appreciate that these are supposed to be characatures, but this one is just a little "off".
What he said anyway. This ones plainly ludicrous. |

I don't like the guy. There's something about how slim he is that looks out of keeping with the multiple layers of clothing that I picture pirates in. The gitls, however, look pretty darn good. While they might be said to have the same problem as the guy, I don't mind it as much in them,...erm.

The command set is next - standard, officer, drummer and fifer. Due maybe in 6 weeks or so I guess. The current figures are available for order now for those so interested.
"Sorry, kids, no diapers next month, either. Just don't go on the floor, OK?"

So I'm ready to listen to your comments and criticisms. Some background. This is my sculptor's first attempt at 28mm. He's never worked the medium before. I like the chap myself but some things could have been done better. (He was meant to be rank and file so the musculature is a bit too big I think.) BTW in case you're wondering what my part in all of this was. Concept, design, implementation and funding!
The things you mention are things that can't really be seen very well from the photos available (face & club especially) but for a first 28mm miniature it has some excellent points. Excellent start though
