Chafing at the bit here...

What's Otherworld doing next? Any word from anybody? So far, they're the only other line I collect besides Ral Partha. Great stuff...

Any word would be great!

Here are some new greens from Kev Adams, a pair of Bugbears.  I hope to have them on sale by the end of November.



Our Pig-faced Orc Command Pack, Tribal Pack and the first archer & crossbowman are now on sale in our webstore.






Hope you like 'em.

Probably, depending on how these sell.  We'll probably do another 2 head/weapon variants of each pose, and maybe a leader-type.

Thanks for the comments, I'm glad you like them.

Sounds great.

No problem I have been really pleased with all the minis I have bought from you (and I have all of them).  Who knows one day I may even get to  paint some of them.

I particularly like the old school 1st edition MM look of the minis.

We just need, hobgoblins (see the rear of B2), Kobolds and MM style goblins as well as interesting creatures that are hard to get hold of decent minis for like owlbears, displacer beasts, rust monsters...

Here's the 2nd Gargoyle, still WIP, with a bit of finishing to be done.

Here are some pics of our new Orc variants, just received from Kev Adams:


Command Pack 2, featuring a sub-chief, a bodyguard and a second shaman.


2 new archers to go with the original one.


2 new crossbowmen with the original.

They're all available for pre-order, at discounted prices, at http://www.otherworld.me.uk/soon.html, along with the Paul Muller gargoyles and Kev's Bugbears.

The discounted prices are for pre-orders only, and will be available until the end of the year.

I will certainly be buying the only pieces I am missing - the two barbed devils and the new bugbears and gargoyles.

However, I purchased the original orc pack and am NOT in need of "more" orcs...how many more orc variants can you do when there are other miniatures out there that have never been done and are screaming to BE done? Please don't get me wrong...I love Otherworld minis, and have added this line to the list of "AD&D" minis I collect. But I don't need an orc standard bearer and different variants of each particular orc!

How about the minotaur people were talking about in earlier threads? Or perhaps more monsters TSR never made?

Just making a suggestion. But I don't think I will be ponying up more money for MORE orcs. The original pack was sufficient.

For what it's worth, thanks for listening, anyway...

Okay I have thought of a few miniatures for your range:

1.  Minatour as commented.  It seems hard to get good minatours, I only really like the proportions of the GW AD&D range minatour.  The others they have produced are not great.

2.  How about a Manticore?  Again difficult to find a good manticor.  I would love to see one that looked like the one on the cover of S2 White Plume Mountain.

3.  Gnomes.  very few good gnome figures.  a couple of fighters, a thirf and an illusionist should do it.

Anyway, keep up the good work!
