Forge World Order

A batch of 10mm Forge World products in utero

A batch of 10mm Forge World products in utero

I recently received my first order from Forge World.  The goods arrived late due to the holidays, but I expected that since I waited until around the 23rd or so to commit to my purchase.  Regardless, I sent an e-mail inquiry about my order after the New Year, and received a hasty reply with the actual shipment date and ETA.  I mention this because I want to stress that my initial dealings with Forge World exceeded expectations, and to complement them for their great customer service.

Featured here is the (partial) unpacked Forge World order still in its “zip-lock” packaging.  For those of you contemplating a Forge World order, this is what you can expect to find upon tearing open the cardboard.  As for the details of my order, I’ll save that for my next couple of posts.

More 10mm Fantasy from Eureka on the Way

My first attempt at a 10mm mûmak.

My first attempt at a 10mm mûmak.

This morning I received a reply from Eureka Miniatures’ Nic Robson with regards to the future of their 10mm fantasy line.  According to Mr. Robson, Eureka “have the ents, lots of elves (including cavalry mounted on stags and eagles), some more dwarves and a some [sic] woodland creatures due to be released later this year.”  Personally, I’m really excited about the ents, because I haven’t found anything that matches well with my GW BoFA and Copplestone miniatures, which make up the bulk of my Middle-earth armies in this scale.

Featured here is a photo of my first Eureka war elephant with customized howdah.  The Harad crew is represented by Old Glory Persians.  I wasn’t happy with my attempt at a howdah, and came up with something slightly different for my second mûmak.  I’ll post pictures when I start painting it, which is hopefully soon.
