Agreed. I have a few Forgeworld minis for Epic and I never want to work with resin on a small scale again.

I have no strong opinions on singles or strips though.

I have FW warhound titans and a thunderhawk and they are fine!  But at an infantry scale, resin might begin to get fiddly.

it's so fragile at 6mm scale, one of my regular epic opponent has FW tau and his crisis suits (approx the size of WM infantry) have all been broken and repaired multiple times from nothing more than a bumpy car journey to the venue.... IMO resin is completely unsuitable for anything smaller than 28mm scale....

Never had a problem with my baneblades/shadowswords either but the basilisks are minis straight from hell. Barrels bent and the platform for the crew was warped almost to the point of no repair.

Hi,

would only buy metal.

I have some good experience working together with a producer of tin miniatures for my own minis. Making the minis requires a good technology to have perfect results. That means you need two perfect moulds which cost round about 200 EUR each for each unit and then the cost of production is at around 4 EUR per unit in highest quality. You need to sell round about 50-100 Units to get your cost including sculptor been paid. Most expensive cost occured by the sculptor. But you are a great sculptor who can manage most of it by yourself.

Cheers,

Jürgen

I'll relay this topic on the French forum.
I would most probably support such type of KS project up to $100 if they are about an army we can't find somewhere else. This does obviously depend on price and sculpt though ;)

Hi there ,
I certainly like the concept .I would buy wood elves for both BOFA and WM, and there really isn't a good range out there .( that I like )
I would also be interested in other units for both BOFA and WM , lesser goblins for instance . Humans for some of the BOFA range . Rohan , gondor etc ..............

I would certainly be open to suggestions , especially single figures and multi poses .

Yes, some quality wood elves would be lovely, could be allies for High Elves or Bretonnians.

I'd chip in if I liked the sculpts and were metal. Individual or strip doesn't bother me really.

You could have a system similar to Kallistra and there ACW range ! Or medieval ranges  as an example .

Hi there , just started buying my Rohan army from the excellent Copplestone 10mm range with a smattering of orc's .

Mark hinted that he would think seriously about doing 10mm Wood Elves and Dwarves , which could be great news indeed !.

May be with enough interest generatedthese lines may come into production .

I just sent him a message using the "contact us" form, saying how good his stuff is - and how I'm going to get some Rangers to use as Glade Guard in the New Year.

And also encouraging him to make new things. =D
