Carver (sculpted by Jody SIEGEL)
Tabletop Gaming News just uploaded an article featuring a ton of upcoming releases from Wyrd for their Malifaux game system. The article includes concept art, sculpts, and painted samples of the models. My favorites are Carver, Molly, and the alternative Ramos.

Wyrd recently announced the availability of the latest releases for their Malifaux game:
WYR4039 – Collodi – Clamshell – $10.50
WYR4040 – Marrionetts (4 pack) – Clamshell – $16.50
WYR4041 – Wicked Dolls (3 pack) – Clamshell – $16.50
WYR3034 – Snow Storm (small box) – $35
WYR2038 – Night Terrors (2 pack) – $15
WYR1038 – Guild Hounds (2 pack) – $14
WYR3035 – Mobile Toolkit – $8.50
WYR2039 – Dead Rider (small box) – $30
There are several great models in this release, like Snow Storm and Dead Rider, but my favorite is the Guild Hounds. Not only because they are for my chosen faction for the game, but especially because they were sculpted by Jody Siegel, one of my favorite sculptors.
(Jody, some of you may recall, sculpted Grimm’s Cat for Mannikin Studios.)

Governor's Proxy, by Wyrd
This is still an early-stage work in progress, but I thought I’d share just in case I can’t finish it before October. I’m swamped at the moment, and can only touch my paints for about 15 minutes before bed; and very soon I won’t be in a position to paint at all until December.

Molemen models available from Wyrd Miniatures
Wyrd has been around as a miniatures company and forum host for enthusiasts since 2005, but they’ve come to the fore in the last few months with the release of their highly anticipated and popular rules set, Malifaux. Leading up to and following the GenCon premier of the game, Wyrd started cranking out starter sets, blister packs, accessories, and loads of new characters.
I’ve bought into the game. I picked up a Witch Hunters crew, Mortimer (gravedigger), Nicodem (undertaker), the Malifaux core rulebook, a burgundy fate deck, and the coloring book. I would have purchased more, but due to the timing of my order (right after GenCon) they were out of many things that I wanted. Fortunately, between then and now they’ve refilled their stock, and I have a full cart again.
While keeping myself up to date on information about new releases from Wyrd, I recently came across this picture of the molemen. Another fine release from Wyrd, yes; but my initial reaction had me thinking of possibilities for these models that have nothing to do with the Malifaux universe.
What I see here are potential proxies for cave trolls for 10mm Middle-earth. The hands are way too large, however; they will need to be amputated and new ones sculpted in their place. But that’s a minor issue considering these are the closest matches to Weta’s interpretation of cave trolls at this size that I’ve ever seen. (I know about the plastic pieces for Risk and WotR, but dismissed them for being too large or lacking the kind if detail I require.) The models will also need chains and a weapon or two, and I’ll have to shorten the teeth with a Dremel, but that’s also easy to do. I’ve got some in my cart, and hope to have them in hand soon. I’ll be sure to post pictures when I do.
I hope that helps. And please add a comment if you feel inspired to do the same or have an idea of your own for 10mm cave trolls.
