Cyclopes Forge Jackal Dwarves
« on: May 25, 2007, 07:17:11 AM »


I like them!  I like them a lot, some of the best figures CF has produced yet.  Reasonable proportions, nice looking hands and armor details, good sized crossbows...

I do have one complaint - why are they not wearing helmets?  I *really* don't like that they're showing their faces - any chance we could get a separate head option, with the helmeted head on a sprue or something?

For me, personally, not having them in helmets makes them look too much like generic dwarves to buy them.

I agree... and since they are technically cowards they shouldn't be showing their faces anyway!

I will most likely order as well.  The Vulture Clan's contract is almost up, and they wish to return to their clan.  Plus, have YOU ever eaten in a Devout mess ?!?  YICK!!! ;D

Brandon from Rattlehead is excellent to deal with.  Very friendly, good communication, fast shipping.  I don't know how his overseas service is, but I live in rural Alaska and I got my shipment in just under a week... I doubt it would take much longer to reach the UK.

Send him an email at:

 custsvc@rattleheadgames.com

Tell him Alex from Alaska sent you his way, and I'm sure he'd be happy to answer any questions you might have.
