Warmonger goes quadrupedal
« on: August 23, 2016, 03:06:05 PM »
August was Warmonger Miniatures' best month this year for sales, so I'll be talking to Bob and lining up some unadorned horse sculpts. The plan is to get 7 horses without riders/tack sculpted and cast, then return sets to Bob so I can get Knights and Pistoleers sculpted on them in the future.

Because a few of you expressed interest I will make the horses available on their own. No idea on their cost yet, that'll depend on the weight of the production metals.

Ah this is super exciting!  Great to hear!

Will the Knights be heavily armoured or lighter?

Knights will be heavily armored. I'm shooting for something from the 1500s when knights were being phased out in favor of Reiter. So maybe Maximilian Plate or newer?

Good news.

Although between weak pound and ever increasing transatlantic shipping costs, it could scare my wallet!

Ya, with the exchange rate being the best I've seen it's the best time for me to commission sculpting from Bob. The other side of that sword is what you've said.

As far as I can tell though, international shipping via USPS won't be going up in 2017, just the domestic stuff.

This is all good news.  I must admit, I would probably only want the riderless horses in order to create galloper guns.

Commission away. Bob said mid to late September at this point. I'll likely have them up on the website by early October if anyone wants them for conversions/dioramas/etc. Knights will depend on my sales for the rest of the year.

  • 7 horses, without tack, armor or riders (those will be added later to master casts).
  • They'll be around 15 hands (that's what my research pointed me to for 16th century warhorses), in 10mm that works out to be 9-10mm to the shoulder.
  • There will be 2 each of galloping, cantering and trotting (one left foot forward, one right foot forward per gate) and one walking.
