That's a cool-looking Peryton! My only critique is that it is not holding the still-beating heart of some poor adventurer (just kidding). Jason Wiebe does great work (check out some of his Reaper work, for example).

And $10 is about $90 less than what the RP 11-series Peryton is usually listed for on eBay, so if you need a Peryton, I would be inclined to go with this one.

Great paint job on the one pictured.

Edit: Just added CSM to my list of manufacturers on my blog.
Edit 2: Now with blog post regarding the Peryton.

You're going to share the pictures once it's done, right, Allan?



And thanks, TollHouseGolem. I appreciate the post - when you place your order, I'll throw in a little something extra for taking the time to spread the word!

Thanks to everyone for their comments and interest! In the next few days, I'll be posting some work-in-progress pictures of our latest sculpt from Jason Wiebe.

As of yesterday, the master models of the Peryton were being cleaned and getting readied for casting later this week - if that's the case, pre-orders should go live on Saturday or Sunday and I'll have the figures in hand for shipping early next week.

I spoke with (exchanged emails with) Jason Wiebe today, and he should have some WIP pictures of the above mentioned beastie by the end of the week.

Also discussing another much-in-demand critter with sculptor Tim Prow - that announcement will probably be even bigger than the r....polar wyrm.

Thanks, Allan, for the suggestion on that one.

Iron Wind Metals informed me today that the Peryton castings as well as a re-stock of CSM-002b, Sea Devil W/Trident, will be in the mail on Friday afternoon! Pre-orders at www.centerstageminis.com are now live.

The Peryton will normally be priced at $10.95, but will be available through Sunday only for the pre-order price of $9.85. It's slightly pricier (by cents, anyway) than I had originally anticipated, but I set the original price based on a rough guesstimate of the casting costs.

Once I've got them in hand, I'll start shipping. Based on the email demand for the Peryton, I would recommend getting your orders in soon, as I fully anticipate the original casting run to sell out. I'm debating making them available individually AND in a package of three - they do run in groups (flocks)!

Tim Prow has accepted and will be getting started on the first 28mm in our Advanced Fantasy Miniatures - Planeswalkers line. It's a demon with two heads - I nicknamed her (it?) Molly Deuce.  

Benjoshua, here is the Peryton next to a Warhammer Quest miniature.



Hope that helps!

Paid!  

Here are some WIP pics of upcoming CSM-007, Glacial Wyrm, sculpted by Jason Wiebe.

Note that there is no detailing on these sculpts as of now, they were just forwarded so that I could see the "shape" of the wyrm.

Comments welcome!

I'll see if I can get some dimensions on the sculpt from Jason.

And thanks for the compliment, Richard. PM sent.
