Fantastic stuff there

OrlandotheTech

next up is my converted Urbad, his younger more handsome brother Cionaodh

Bockaaruk, Tarvax Warrior with a highland cattle inspired colour scheme (my entry in the WAMP painting contest)

OrlandotheTech

£19,800

(we're all spending so much on KS 1 it will take a while for us to dig up the full amount of cash for KS 2)

OrlandotheTech

I've entered a Tarvrax, and may enter an Oghur unit if I can get them finished to my satisfaction

OrlandotheTech

2.3.5.2 "If the mustered herald of a unit dies, he may be replaced by a unit warrior who then becomes its herald. Simply replace the unit warrior miniature with the herald miniature that has been removed. This represents warriors retrieving the instrument as it falls" not an issue yet but ...

I'd suggest contacting Mierce directly with your friends KS id & email address plus what he ordered for you

(that should be hopefully be enough for Mierce to verify your story as combines that info shouldn't be available to anybody else)

OrlandotheTech

Straightening the standard is going to be easy,

boil a kettle, pour into a mug and dip the standard pole in and it will go as soft as cooked spaghetti and just hang down into position, set in a mug of cold water

all your goodies look so good I can't wait for mine!

OrlandotheTech

I'll second the hot water,

It makes the resin really bendy so I just turned mine upside down and dipped it in cold water to fix it

OrlandotheTech

Good work trhere

carry on

OrlandotheTech

Tell me about it, I've just finished putting together the Gabrax (& Chaggmuth on his boar) this weekend they're all such nice pieces I've got to get them 'perfect' so it's taking a lot longer than expected (not helped by dropping the halberd on one breaking it into 4 pieces :o requiring micro pi...

OrlandotheTech

Excellent stuff

that lot will keep you busy for a good long while!

OrlandotheTech

excellent work there

OrlandotheTech

Painting wise I'm hoping to do at least some as highland cattle http://www.balnafettach.com/images/photos/cattle1.jpg however my attempts to mix an appropriate colour have not worked out so for, but I've got an order in for the Reaper Red Hair paint triad which looks as if it will do the job more ea...

OrlandotheTech

Well my Tarvrax Herd is now all cleaned up, assembled, greenstuff-ed and based thanks to a very warm and pleasant Sunday http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v348/orlando_the_technicoloured/games/102_8748_zps9742381f.jpg ckaarakk, untain of the tarvax http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v348/orlando_the_...

OrlandotheTech

Not much more progress on this pair, I'm waiting for paints for their skin to come in, but I have decided on the basing For these bunch it's always winter http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v348/orlando_the_technicoloured/games/102_8759_zps7908411b.jpg I may go on to do some very dilute blue/green wa...

OrlandotheTech

A bit more work on the brothers, finished cleanup, replaced Urbad's frying pan with a pot (a bit of a miscast made this necessary, and using a bit of Styrene tube was easier than re-sculpting it) Decided to go for an iron bound staff for Cionoadh's weapon finished sculpting Cionoadh's neck modify sh...

That's a good idea,

I'll have to play around and see if I can come up with an alternative that I like before I do it though!

OrlandotheTech

Well I'm in a what I suspect is a both enviable, and common position.... Multiple Urbads. Now Mierce has said it will be possible to field a unit of Oghurithne in the future, but the sculpt is too characterful and recognisable to drop multiples on the table without it looking a bit 'off' So what to ...

OrlandotheTech

Excellent news

so are you going to admire them 'in bag' for a while, or get straight down to assembly/painting ?

(I've started cleaning up Dungann & Urbad and hope to at least have them fully assembled by the end of the bank holiday weekend)

OrlandotheTech

Very impressive

I didn't go for the Ysians so it's nice to see them

and I've yet to look in the bags at the tarvrax & brythonaid..... too much other good stuff to work on :lol:

OrlandotheTech

quick pic of Dungann and the giant magical rock

OrlandotheTech

I must confess there are a few more I haven't had the chance to look at yet

(the cats need their dinner, and hungry cats wanting attention and resin minis on a table don't mix to well so I had to stop)

more pics later if I get the chance

OrlandotheTech

So having had no real time to look at these here are my first impressions An excellent general standing of casting, all casting gates etc have been left on for you to clean up yourself which is the best way to do it I'll need to look at each piece in more detail to be certain, but if all are as good...

OrlandotheTech

There here, a nice big carboard box.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v348/orlando_the_technicoloured/games/102_8435_zpsd4219801.jpg and inside Tarvrax and Brythonaid starters http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v348/orlando_the_technicoloured/games/102_8449_zpsaa5ce6ec.jpg http://img.photobucket....

Well my postman has come and gone so I now need to wait eagerly for tomorrow :cry:

hopefully then......

OrlandotheTech

Well Monday's here and several posters in the KS comments have reported that starter sets (and associated other minis) have moved from 'packing' to 'completed' (included mine, yippee)

so hopefully that means they're on their way

who'll report the first happy arrival

OrlandotheTech

Yes kids posting of the Brythoniaid Dyndraig, Fomoraic Tarvax and Ysian Ax-Drune starters (plus associated extras) is scheduled to start tomorrow

I'm so excited :lol:

So here's a threat to post on when yours arrives

OrlandotheTech

Getting close to the first starters going out

so exciting

soon my pretties, soon you will be mine

OrlandotheTech

Not as far as I know

(all the KS mentioned was Kindred Colours, not what they were)

OrlandotheTech

Stephane has started sculpting Torku already even though it is still scheduled for December (we've seen a WIP) http://www.mierce-miniatures.com/downloads/torku_wip_01.jpg as a freelance maybe a timeslot he had reserved for something else fell through so he might as well use it for the Mierce job, if...

OrlandotheTech

The lure of bright colours is too strong :D I've decided to get some nice fancy brightly coloured sets of d10 for each of my starters, and used the fancy Mierce black & white ones when I need percentiles (they'll be easy to single out alongside these eye watering beauties) http://img.photobucket...

OrlandotheTech

No faction specific dice is a shame as I was keen to get them...

but the minis (& game) are the key part of my order, although I'll probably pick up some coloured d10 sets for the different factions

OrlandotheTech

Well todays update says we're now going to be a little late (20th May)

but with several figures (Beowa as man and bear, Torku, Mawdred and Aradae Mawr) making the 1st shipment that they'd originally planned for later waves

which as I'm getting some of those is a fair trade

OrlandotheTech

works fine on IE9 (yes I know it't horrible) and FF on PC

OrlandotheTech

Now that I'm all spent out Angelcynn Starter Cearl, Werewulf Thegn June Benoît Cosse Leofwen, Fane-Bearer of Mierce on hart December Gael Goumon Carrowek on horse Mawdred of Carn Dhu, Horn-Drune Kernuor, Seer-Drune on Horned Beast Jowan of Carn Dhu, Hound-Master and Drune-Hounds Norse Starter Gamla ...

OrlandotheTech

Not as long ago as that I'm afraid,

121.5K was 1st March in the late afternoon (UK time)

(but that was before the Jowan art went live, and I know I was not the only person to add him & the hounds

OrlandotheTech

Last post Mierce made was we were at around 118K (so 7K short), as although they'd had more cash in a couple of pull outs had happened too

hopefully folks Feb paycheques will help us get there

OrlandotheTech

Thanks for the assist,

how I missed the edit avatar choice, no idea?
