I tend to like my trolls massive and top heavy, which would mean mostly hunched posture (or gorilla like, with knuckles on the floor), massive shoulders, forearms and fists, and primitive (barely any cloth, possibly a scrap of "borrowed" chain mail or just wrapped chains).

As armament, they could possibly use crude weapons such as huge cleaver-like blade as given to them by the orks, primitive weapons such as hurling large blocks of stone or holding a large branch/small tree, or just their massive fists.

Actually, I would be interested to see any kind of trolls. This is just the kind I would like to see the most :).
Anyway, in many fantastic settings there are several different kind of trolls (river trolls, hill trolls, mountain trolls, etc).

Interesting stuff! I'm a bit late to this party :D but some not-chaos would be cool, especially chaos warriors, chaos ogres (and regular ogres) and stuff that historical manufacturers doesn't cover. Also an army bundle with more goblins would be nice as the two current bundles are rather orc heavy, When I think about it a Goblin command pack would also be cool.

Regarding a Not-Empire army I think it can wait, historical manufacturers already got that covered. I would rather see more fantasy armies frankly.

On the subject of trolls, I have a weakness for GWs stone trolls but something original would also be good. Whatever you go for I'm probably gonna like them either way ;D

Just as a little update, Orc Archers and Robed Goblin wolf riders will be available probably next month. After a bunch of feedback, it is looking like Elven Kingdoms and the Dark Alliance for the 2nd half of next year. The Dark Alliance will be evil men in evil-looking hulking armor, just to give you guys an idea. I'm planning on the Dark Alliance army being quite large, probably around 11 codes.

This sounds great indeed!

You said earlier that you'll probably add spearmen for the dread elves. Do you know when?

I actually have them already, they are slightly reworked warriors modified to hold spears. They will be released at the same time as the Lizardmen, as they are going to the same caster, so they can be mastered all at once.

Yup, 11 codes... tentatively what I was thinking:

Warriors with HW shield
Warriors with Halberd
Elite/Veterans more ornately armored
Knights
Elites riding medium-sized monstrous creature
Chariot
barbarian warriors
Warhounds and handler (big bull mastiff type dogs with human handler)
Command Pack (standard stuff)
Lord on big armored Dragon
Ogre mercenaries

I am very likely going to add a 12fth slot for a large monster with a howdah full of barbarian raiders, but likely not a mammoth.

Yup, 4 armies in 2013 because I got a bit overzealous with the commissions in 2012 (commissioning models is how I cope with work being terrible). I was going to wait till I painted masters to put up some pics because the green stuff pics don't do them justice, but maybe I will post up some lizardmen later tonight.

Plenty to look forward to, better start saving now :D

I'd be keen to see unpainted, rather than painted, masters if possible (or both).

Just a question about the online store. It seems you can't purchase items that are out of stock? (e.g. Foundationalist inf at moment). Is there any reason it could not be set up to just accept orders, with a note that there will be a longer delay in delivery if items currently are out of stock?

Also a very brief blurb on the "about us" page or removal of this link might be a good idea?

Cheers

@ Markonz
Yeah, I tried to do as much real-time stocking as possible, but lately it seems like I am always off a pack or two in my estimation of what I have in stock. At first it wasn't a big deal, but now I actually have a good number of products, so I may just set everything to infinite and do just as you said, indicate that usually things are in stock, but if not it will take an extra few days for the order to ship.

Incidentally, the Foundationist infantry will be back in stock Monday.

The About Us page is just me being lazy. I had written one up and just never uploaded it to the site. I forgot about it till you mentioned it!

@Apoc
Sure, I will do a set of unpainted and painted pics.

Have to admit I'd like to see some Daemonic allies for the evil men at some point as well.

I will probably round out the year with the release of some goblin wolf-riders and Orc Archers, which have been a long time coming. Going forward, besides a sporadic scifi release here and there, I will mostly be concentrating my resources on expanding the 6mm fantasy line. Are there any armies/units people would like to see?



Steve, I'm just getting into your 6mm Fantasy Armies. I'm starting with the Lizards, but all of them are impressive. If you are still looking to hear from us on what armies we'd like to see, I'd like to add that I would like to see a Naga-style army. Many different ways that you can go with this and it would make a very neat looking army for the table.
