Hey guys! Long time, no nothin.' How's everybody doing?
-
We are holding I am trying to pick up some devout figs off of ebay along with some warzone. I am going to play warzone if I have to highjack a casino bus to get up to maplewood. hopefully I will have a halfway decent force for bauhaus by then.

We rock...We roll....the game may have wobbled but it ain't fallen down. ;D
If anyone wants to know if Warzone and/or Chronopia are a good investment all they have to do is visit here.
-
Meh. We're allright. I got those wolf clan scout dwarves, I really want to paint them, but I'm busy with Wargods right now...
Still want to see that Ogre you were sculpting! Maybe the italian company that bought the game would buy the green...
-Alex
-
What Italian company? When did that happen?
wmeredith.
-
I'm pretty sure they dropped out of the running back in the spring too. They struck me as very enthusiastic, but not overly organized. I think they would have ended up in a situation similar to EE's.
-

wmeredith.
This new company made nice figures. Most of them can you play in chronopia.
Poor example:

Whoah, Coki - what the heck are those, where did you get them? I read several games forums and sites, and I haven't seen those before.
The top one is some sort of Troll (Deathseeker, from the helmet...?), but I can't figure out what the bottom sculpts are. Dusk Realm warriors, maybe?
Who sculpted those? Are they officially released anywhere?
-Alex

Picking up some figs from Prince August and Wargamer Poland. Hope to get to actually paint something. By the time I get home in the evening I barely see the table... :-[
Actually what happened to the Surveiler fig. It was ready to be released... I wish someone would release it.
Greetings,

The blank figures are a good example for Dragon Scull Warriors.

Okay color me confused, are they actually doing Chronopia and Warzone or trying to get the licence?
wmeredith.
-
Well, I really hope someone will officially pick up the ranges. The sculpts are promising but they need a little improvement to blend easier with the existing figures. And I hope we'll see something for Warzone as well.
Greetings,
Catinator

@Alxbates
Yes, you can in the next weeks buy the first figures. It would be gaves a english online shop.
@wmeredith
No license. It gaves two fiction Universes. Named "Ethernal Realms" for the Fantasy Universe and "Lost Worlds" for the Science Fiction Version.
The figures made for this Game universes, but they are good figures to use in Chronopia or Warzone. ;)

Coki

Uh, it may be only in Itialin, but the home page is blaring Chronopia and Warzone. Of course I have no idea what they are saying...

Babelfish does translations....
And Veez- check this one out:
receive confirmation from the foundry:
THE MINIATURE ARE IN ARRIVAL! Very Happy
Of continuation the list of the models that will come puttinges in sale, through this situated with the catalogue online (nearly finished):
- 19° Silent (troop three placed, metal)
- wild Knights of Ilian (three placed of cavalcatura in resin, and two of knight in metal)
- Skulls of Drago (three placed of troop, metal)
- Ogre Death seeker (one rests, in resin)
- Troll deathseeker (one rests, in resin)
- Obsidian Guard (one rests, in metal)
The foundry guarantees the quantitative one in arrival for the week in course. Therefore, if also the sideburns arrive in this week, together to the blister, can be already begun the sale. Very Happy
Vagonata draft of first of miniature, the month to follow, usciranno more models (approximately 16-19), carrying, counting the several ones placed, to a catalogue with a total of 30 single miniature nel.giro.di two months. To follow to these two fire months, most important for the resolution of the plan (useless to say that if the sales not incotreranno fortune, then will not be able to be proceeded), the innovationes will be reduced to 3-4 four models to the month. To me it does not seem at all badly
If I mentally order the words right, a number of never released figs are being made here. To include the 19th Silents
-
I'm having flashbacks to some really bad Engrish translations from my time in Japan.
How soon before we can order I wonder. Any help from our Italian friends would be greatly appreciated.
-
Uh, it may be only in Itialin, but the home page is blaring Chronopia and Warzone. Of course I have no idea what they are saying...
Firefox will translate the page for you - as will many other browsers (Ithink that Google does, too)
-
Well I figured out how to register, but all they seem to have in their online store is Warzone.
-
Okay when in doubt trust coki. I am verrry curious as to what is in store.
wmeredith.
-
Okay when in doubt trust coki.
Big thanks ;D
The online shop for this figures is not online. They came in the next weeks ;)
Solo X Gioco was the Chronopia / Warzone italian distributor.

Thanks for the link. Give us a heads up when she is fully armed and operational.

@Hi Coki, thanks for your support :)
Hi my name is Francesco,
I'm sculpt this miniatures. I'm happy if this like to you, but I must improve my skill, next will be better, if you have any advice, or any contribute type, please do it, we will apreciate very much, any costructive critics (negative or positive, the important thinghs is a sincere and costructive critics) will be well accepted, only who can I saind, it is look better if painted (but I think all miniature look better if painted). Sorry to say we don't have any official license, we try to take Chronopia license, but for us is impossible stay under the Paradox agreement, for a company like us is a suicide. I'm very sand for this, becose, like any Chronopia fan, I will be very to work with it (and for it). In Italy the Chronopia and WZ fans was little frustrated, but a new amateur version and this compatible miniatures was a very good news, I hope in USA the Chronopia and WZ fans are not depressed, Chronopia and WZ will live forever, becose are the best fantasy and sci-i game :)
So, like just said Coki, this is not Chronopia or WZ, but Ethernal Realms and Lost Worlds. We are heavy ispired by Chronopia and WZ, and I can say, who the next miniature will be 80% compatible with Chronpia and WZ. Also, in particular, I'm ispired to my favorite artist: Adrian Smith.
The online catalogue will be online not soon, I'm sorry but we had a burocratic issue (in Italy ecomerce law requires too many time... we hope to have a full functional catalogue online before the mounth end), also, from next week we can shipping, for info, a blister with three miniature (in three different pose) is 9,00 € (we will accept paypal order). For any type of info, please, fell free to mailing to info@solopergioco.net. All our miniature are in withe metal, the bigs are in resin kit
This is another miniature, hope you like :)

Anyone know where is thom? How is he? I rember very nice moment with Thom, he was the man who insist for I try to sculpt :) I'm sand for the EE banckrupt, if anyone talk or can mailing with Thom, please, give to him my regards.
Sorry for my poor english...

Hi gubs :) do you remember me? thanks very much for your advice :)
I think they would have ended up in a situation similar to EE's
::) I think you will angree if I touch wood... ;D
-
I'll tell Thom you said hi. He is doing well.

@Francesco:
1) Your English is better than my Italian. We have WZ and Chronopia fans from all over the world here and the only ones who do not seem to get along well are the native English speakers ;). All are welcome anyway, even the ones from Ohio New Jersey North Carolina.
2) We were all very dissapointed by the fall of the games as well so you are in good company. I did not realize what a world-wide impact and following these two games had.
3) Your 80% solution is much better than the (at best) 30% solution (and falling) that we currently have with dwindling supplies.
4) I am chomping at the bit to see your Lost Worlds (presumably the one similar to Warzone) releases.
-
Hi
I'am new to this forum but I have collected Chronopia and Warzone from the begining.I have not been able to get a hold of the EE miniatures as I dont know if they were released in the UK.
I have just been sorting out my collection and trying to sort out forces.I will be getting some more miniatures from Gamecraft as they have a 15% discount on the ranges and Roger is very helpful.
Does any one know where the best place is to get a hold of some of the last releases?I have tried Wargamer and I missed out as they were at a show last weekend.
Hi Alex in Alaska :D.

thanks Veez. Next week we show other minaitures, Lost worlds in particular.
We hope do you like it, but, if everyone has any advice/critics are welcome, we need to grow up, and to do this, we need to hear the player/collectors voices :)

Let us know when and how to buy them!

Hi Coki
This will be a range well worth keeping an eye on as they have some great looking greens so far.
I noticed that you voted for the Jackel Crossbowmen.Nice chioce.I voted for the Totem.
Andy C.
-
I am very excited by this. It will be nice to have access to some new minis and some that were never done befor to fill in the gaps.
-
Promising... I wish some of the greens that never made to production would make it - even if unlikely. I really liked the Surveiler. Well, I keep my fingers crossed.
Catinator
-
was that surveilor really an official sculp or was the some polish fan work? (same goes for the stormtrenchers)
-
It was official as was all of Gubs' works in progress as far as I know.
The more's the pity; he has some great sculpts.

next fine pictures ;D

(http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/aldrien/Kram/you_rock_you_rule.jpg)
so, what about a 19th silent sneak preview? :)
-
A I can say is AAAWWWWSSSSOOOOOMMMMEEEEE! luv it, luv it ;D. Great looking minis.About time the Empire got its due, and the Dragonskulls rock! Thanks for all the cool things you do Coki, karma to you.
-
was that surveilor really an official sculp or was the some polish fan work? (same goes for the stormtrenchers)
It was going to be official - however AFAIK (and I know personally both the sculptor and the Polish distributor working as the middle-man) EE went down before they paid for any of this work (and long before they were able to put it on the market). BTW - there were more sculpts, e.g. the 19th Silent (they look stunning) and the warrior monks with kamas (very good work). In "flesh" they look much better than on photos.
-
stop teasing us!
Get in contact with the italiens, see if the rights are at EE/Paradox and if not produce them under their WZ-knockoff!!! :o :o :o
-
If we're lucky, they will be able to put them under a different name, as will Thom, so those greens that were floating around the world can see the light of day.
-
stop teasing us!
Get in contact with the italiens, see if the rights are at EE/Paradox and if not produce them under their WZ-knockoff!!! :o :o :o
What for? There are better solutions. As the sculptor was not paid, the miniatures are still his IP. The only thing that has to be done with them is the removal of any corporate markings, which are copyrighted by Paradox ;-) . We have as good casting facilities in Poland as anybody in Italy... cheaper ones probably.

No insult was intended - people were just offering suggestions on getting them mass produced and available to players worldwide. If you want to keep the figs available to the rest of us only thru Polish distributors (if at all) that's your call.
-
As far as I know, Sosna has plans for making those minis (cast in metal, of course without any corporate markings and under generic names) available - but the announcement is his to make.
-
well, the reason was that there people are working on producing them. it would just be one mold more.
in poland you would have to make deals, set the factory up, establish everything,... seems more complicated.
-
There are companies, which provide casting services in Poland, AFAIK Sosna is negotiating with one... He is a businessman, why should he let somebody else do the business if he can do it himself.
BTW - do you recognize this model:
http://www.ganimedes.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=240
-
OOOH PRETTY! Now if you could just make them available! ;D
-
Actually, the APCs are available... http://marketon.pl/snifdog/
The model costs roughly $40, before ordering you'd better contact those guys (link "kontakt", there's a form in which you should put your e-mail, the subject and text of your message) to arrange payment and shipment details.
-
Ouch. That's a bit stiff. Especially when I can make up my own for less than $10 US each.
-
Well... that's a reasonable price for a vehicle model for a tabletop wargame - at least in Poland. GW's Rhino costs a few bucks more - and you usually need only a single Vermin, compared to 4-5 Rhinos ;-) . Even Tekron Warmaster was more expensive...
-
True. Of course GW stuff costs 30% more than it should too.
Resin is expensive though. Not sure why.
Now if whomever did this could just do up some of the older pieces.
Any news on Cyclopes Forge being up and running yet?
-
The poll for the next Chronopia unit is finished. The next unit in wip they are the Jackal crossbowman (Devout).
It gaves three pose. This pose (pictures) is very static, but the next two pose more dinamic.

-
Coki--who is producing these? What website do we go to? I can't find my way around www.solopergioco.net because I don't speak Italian, and all I see at www.cyclopesforge.com is "Coming Soon".
Tell us what you know, please!
As always, thanks for sharing with us. You're the man.
-
Hi Joshua
The figures are on the Solopergioco site.It is a hard site to use.
They are having some problems getting started but they hope to have it sorted soon.
I cant wait to place an order as they have some very nice looking miniatures due out.
-
I'm with ya. I got your pm. Let me know before the 2nd of Dec. if your still interested in some Desert Wolves. If they have them at the store, I'll grab'em, and we can work out a trade. I looked at your info on the forum to discover you're on the other side of the Atlantic.
joshuaslater@yahoo.com is easiest.
Cheers.

Yep
I am a puddle jumper :D.

Hi Just to let you know I had a message from Francesco today about the Cyclopes Forge Miniatures.Some very good new's for Warzone players.

I before Christmans to have finished the site dedicated to Lost Wolrds.
Again, thanks very much for your interest in our work
Ciao
Francesco

I know I have been excited about seeing these greens. I can't wait until they start, especially the Cybertronic-esque figures.
