Got mine today. They are lovely pieces, beautifully cast.

My favourite is definitely the \'frog\' ogre!

And just a small bit of news, for those who still haven\'t ordered theirs, you can buy them till the end of april. After that the moulds will be destroyed and they won\'t be sold anymore. So hurry up !!

Too late now, but that would have been an excellent idea ala Darksword Ltd Ed sets.

 

[freakinacage]

live and learn eh?

 

[frenchkid]

Yeah I\'m also contemplating getting a couple of them
By the way, si you notice the same guy won pretty much all the auction for the painted minis. That hads up to an insane amount of money.

 

[finn17]

I missed the auction.

Which is probably just as well

It\'s only likely to be one of 4-5 people however

Ok brand new exclusive news :
The molds for the set are wearing out, so production probably wont be able to go into next month. Wich means that if you haven\'t gotten your set, don\'t wait !! And more importantly, this set will be very limited edition because of that (around 400 sets). So go get them !!!

 

[freakinacage]

thanks frenchkid - i\'ve bought another, hopefull in time

 

[marineboy]

As of yesterday thay were still being sold.

Question: If the molds are wearing out, what will that do to the quality of the later castings in the series? Will they be lesser in detail quality than the earlier ones? ??????

 

[frenchkid]

I really don\'t know as I\'m know nothing about the molding processe. I know that some people lately have been having problems with the nose on one of their minis (the ogre if I recall corectly). Appart from that everything seems to be ok.
And yes they are still selling them, they have a small stock (very small) and the mold is still usable. But acording to what I was told t won\'t be for long).

Edit: Just got some news, the orriginal mould is gone since friday. They did manage to make a new mould but it a small quantity mould and will only last 50 sets. has of friday 311 sets were sold (according to yannick), so add up the 50 and you got a limited set of about 360.

I\'m discussing casting Fenryll over at Creafigs. No worries about loss of quality. Fenryll will make sure their quality standard is retained. When a mould wears out it will be replaced. The current situation is that the first moulds which were made using the original sculpts have been worn out and they now have to make from resin mastercasts. These can not take as many casts as the first moulds and will only produce between 30-80 casts before they are replaced.
I\'m checking with them now to see how many sets will actually be available.

Edit, just saw Frenchkid answered as well.

Yeah, the ogre looks as though he got dropped on his nose. I left it - he looks quite funny!
