After a minor delay due to a blown compressor, I picked up the production models this morning. I managed to spot check a few of them and grab some pictures before work. The quality is excellent from what I've seen. I'm hoping to have everyone's pledges shipped out in the next two weeks. After that they'll be up on the website for sale.

These... Are perfect.  I think these are the first warmaster quality sculpts produced apart from Copplestone in the past few years. =D

Packed up 100 units of Zweihanders last night, didn't find any miscasts. There's mold lines here and there, the worst being stuff like that on the Zweihander banner pictured above. There was maybe a half dozen strips or so with flash. I'm pretty happy with the casting quality.

Mate, that is amazing - I am so happy to see this stuff.

Can't wait to see what the arbalesters look like.

I've been ploughing my way through the lead mountain this last week or two. I've only got a unit of crossbowmen and 2 units of Ogres for my Dogs of War army left to paint (plus 18 various Empire/Dwarf/Araby/D-o-W units to finish off the basing). So these should arrive just in time to a clear painting station  ;D

Patience, patience.  :)

At the moment we're looking after the middle son's rabbits and SWMBO has recaptured half of the table in the back room, so it's all a bit cramped in there.

I need to have something on the go, or she'll take over the whole table. Her scrapbooking takes up an order of magnitude more space than my stuff  :(

Ha ha, scrapbooking is it? My friend at the club just remarried and his (lovely) new wife has quilting as her hobby. It's alright because the amount of money she spends on sewing stuff means he has a perfect excuse to spend it on tin soldiers. =D

Yep, same here. Whenever SWMBO queries how much I spend, I just quietly turn my head and look at the collection of scrapbooking stuff she's got that fills a shelving unit in the back room. 10/10 to whoever dreamed up scrapbooking, it's virtually a license to print money!

@Andys

I'll keep that in mind for when I meet the future Mrs Stormwind. ;-)

Invoices are out, with a few exceptions. I'll be packing and shipping each night until everything's out. Next step will be working on a simple website and automated inventory/order system.
