Andy Foster
« on: September 16, 2008, 10:02:19 AM »
As you know, Thom is going to be statting out the entire Heresy line for his game engine.  You sci-fi enthusiasts were wanting to have Andy Foster sculpt his trenchcoat gangers with shotguns and flamethrowers.  I've sent him an email regarding this and he was nice enough to fire back. 

His reply:
Hi Joshua
Thanks for all the work you're doing to help! I vastly appreciate it. As to pre-ordering trenchies, I don't yet know what exactly I will or won't sculpt - I haven't made a shotgun of any kind that I'm happy with yet, for one thing! And I can't nail down even a vague flamethrower, either. So I'm extraordinarily reluctant to let people pay me for figs I may not get around to for ages and ages!
As to gift certificates, etc, I need to work out how to do those properly on my cart, there is a way but it's sorta technical and a bit beyond me at the moment!
cheers
Andy

So it appears that the sci-fi players are going to have to wait longer for figs with shotguns and flamethrowers.  I hope that answers the question for now, and that after Thom posts more info that everyone will find some new models to play with.

That's all for now.

I believe the technical response is crap-a-hootie  :'(

I guess I need to decide on whether I will be getting Hellhounds or not. I was looking forward to a more positive response - but I gotta give him kudos for calling it straight instead of bs-ing us along.

I say we send the man a fig or two of troopers holding shotguns.

And a few loose Gehenna Pukers he can modify.

Andy always throws straight dice.  I'm happy he's responded to us, and that moving forward we can keep our momentum.  It's all good.

John: sending him models or pics would rock; I suggest you join his Forum of Doom if you haven't already and there you can reach him more directly.

THAT GOES FOR ALL OF YOU.   MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Just kidding with the caps lock everyone.   ;D

Gaaah!  How did such vile language get through the word-nanny software!  My eyes burn from it's profanity!

I know I never am exposed to such vulgarity at my job.  No sir! ;D

That said, at least Andy was a straight shooter and recognizes his limitations-you have to respect that.

Thom will be faxing the unit sizes and such to my office this week.  We'll proceed from there!

You'll have the results late tonight for those interested.  Thom has emailed me an excel spreadsheet of warband/individual/summoned, etc. and with a readthrough, it will be posted as promised.   :D
