Hi all I am very pleased and also very excited to announce that in the very soon Worldofminis will be able to offer two new miniatures. This is a side of the hobby and also something I have wanted to add to the site for a long time. I recently bought the greens from the sculptor and the rights to cast and sell the minis. Hopefully these will be the first two in a growing range of minis offered here. So I hear you cry what are they well without further ado here are the pics of the greens, The steampunk Dwarf comes in three parts the main body and the right left arm and weapon separate, the Evil fantasy Dwarf comes with separate shield and two weapons sword as pictured and a ball and chain. These minis will appear in painted fashion just as soon as I have some cast and a couple painted up. Price yet to be decided. |

Because of the cost involved i will have to see how they sell to make it members only. I will have to sell at least 50 units at £6.00 for two or 100 units at £3.00 just to break even on them so initially they will be available here but if the sales are low then I will make them more widely available so really it will be up to the members to keep them members only minis. I have also asked the sculptor of these two if he is prepared to do some more for us.
You will have seen these before as they were destined for EFS but for some reason they never sealed the deal. I now have the greens here and will be sending them away soon to get the masters made and then we go into general production.

I've seen these in the flesh (green) and they are stunning.
Gonna cast up fantastic.
I'm so excited about them.
Are they being packed separate or as a twin pack?

I haven't decided, I suppose separate would be better but if people place the orders I can do whatever.
I won't take any orders though until I get the masters back I am looking at about the next two to three weeks to get the first ones done.

Great news... I've been looking forward to that Steampunk Dwarf since he was first mentioned by Mick from EasternFront Studios. Who's doing the casting, if I may ask?  |

The casting will be done by Griffin Moulds.

Lol thanks Zap, @tracy I will send out an e-mail to all members when they go on sale for sure. Initially they will be available to Wom members and if I break even I will leave it at members only. If not then they will go on general sale and advertised through other websites. I would like to keep these to Wom only and then future minis will be a general sale bought through the site.

They are looking great to me! I'll look forward to seeing the actual finished product, but it looks like i'll be adding two more mini's to my collection!
Great job on getting the rights Tim! Hope it didn't cost you too much.

Cool Dwarfs,
we'll be having one of each when they are available as they fit in to our studio armies perfectly.
If you're needing to make up the cost we are more than willing to advertise them on our website, IF you decide to open them up to non members that is,

Thanks mate, I think in the first instance I will see how they do through Worldofminis but I suspect that I will have to offer them outside the site to see any real return, after all I hope to be able to add more minis to the range over time and any profit made on them will certainly help to buy other sculpts to produce.
