I responded to Alex's request after Thom had set this up.  It's a nice start.  I don't know how it will all work out just yet, but the idea of our own combined Forum of Doom kinda thing is really cool, and I for one would like to see that.

You and Alex have been a part of this community for a long time, and are valued, and hell, even liked, so it's good karma to want to see everyone rockin' out in their efforts.

Cheers.

May the Dark Lords of Lead-Free Pewter smile kindly upon you.

 I have to say this is one of the best forums that I am apart of.I love the game settings and miniatures and find inspiration on here on a regular basis.It has to be one of the best groups of people around.Just hope I can bring some new and cool miniatures into the games and settings which we all love so much.

 Lets see where we are by the end of this year and what we have done to expand the worlds for both settings.

 Looking forward to cross promoting the other members products.

Aw, shucks...

But thanks very much for setting us up separately - I agree, it's very cool to have our own little "Forum of Doom" type shared forum (not that I'm claiming to be anywhere near as talented as the folks at the FoD) with a couple of friendly companies sharing space.

I won't lie, I'm hoping we can grow to FOD size!!  All in good time my friends.  Small steps arriving on foot are better than big leaps landing on your ass.   ;D

You have my email if you're too shy to show them here.   ::)

I see Gubs put some of yours on his site, and they look good.  Speak soon.

I dunno what to say.  Creepy and weird!  I like him!

How big is he?  What's his intended use?

If he's tiny, he'd make a great familiar or homonculus for a mage, if he's big (28mm tall or more) he'd be a strange otherworldly looking demon.

 He is 20mm to the eye's.He is not for any set genre.Multi use I would class him as.

 Paul has a great knack of doing creepy sculpts.The one reason that I wanted him to sculpt for me.I have been very lucky to have such a great sculptor to work on these for me.

 He is one of sixteen by Paul Muller.Really looking forward to showing more nearer to the release date.

Another must have for me.  I've got a great RPG group I game with on Sundays, and that character will be useful!!!  Two thumbs up.

 Right time to let you all know what has been happening.

 I should have miniatures ready for sale next week.Eight in total.Most have been posted here painted up.Still need to work out prices for them.looking into booking a table at the Newcastle show on the 5th of September.Should also have some more painted examples to show off then too.Here are the eight miniatures in one place.







 Once I am sorted with these I will be getting some of Matt Gubser's work and Paul Muller's moulded.All goes well you should see these appear around December.

 Kev Adams is working on two sculpts for starters for me.Andrew Rae is working on three.Really looking forward to see the work from both sculptors.Most if not every one knows Kev Adams.Andrew Rae is a new sculptor who is improving at an astonishing rate.Some of his work has been posted on the FOD.One miniatures is available from Heresy Miniatures.

 Well that brings you up to date.More new's next week.

OOh, I love the three zombies!  I must have them!

Have you decided on a name for your venture?  Is "Manic Miniatures" going to stick?  (I really like that moniker...)

 Glad you like the Zombie's Alex.

 Manic Miniatures might be a really good name.
