 I have the first release ready for sale now.It consists of three Zombies,Golem @ £2.00 each,three Hunters @ £2.50 each and Bandaged Head @ £3.00.Trollen has been the first to place an order for the Bandaged Head miniature which he will be converting into a Golem of Darkness.After seeing the painting he has done so far I cant wait to see how it turns out.

 Sent some more greens away to the mould makers yesterday.So another release should not be that far off.

 Paul Muller has just finished three more sculpts for me too.More weirdness to add to the lead mountain.

 Also found out today that I might be made out of a job next week.Work has been slow and the jobs the firm were in for have been taken by other firms under-cutting them.Not looking good for me and my brother.

 The upside to this is that I will have more time to get things moving on my miniatures venture.Sorry to sound so negative in this post.Things could be much worse than loosing my job.At least I am still relatively healthy.

 Things to look out for are the conversions by Trollen of the Bandaged Head miniature into a Golem of Darkness.

Well that sucks.  Hopefully you don't wind up with the worst-case scenario.

Sorry to hear about the bad news work-wise, Andy.  That sucks.  Hopefully things will pick up for you, or another option will present itself shortly.

 Not too bothered at the moment.We have seen it coming and thought it would have happened sooner.

 The good thing is I dont have alot of out goings.My mortgage is small as I bought the house thirteen years ago.My bank loan is nearly paid off jus the barclay card to sort.

 It will give me the chance to clear out loads of my old miniatures and toys.Could take some time as I have been hoarding for years.I am like a greedy dwarf with his gold when it comes to miniatures  ;D.

 Looking forward to showing you all some new miniatures in a month or so.

 Also need to get my ass in gear and get a web site sorted to sell them on.

 My working week is going from 40 hours a week down to 24 hours.A 3 day week.It could be worse I suppose.At least I still have a job.

 Just recieved master castings from Griffin this week.Sorting them out to get painted.Then I will need to decide which to have production moulds made first.

I like everything but the arms.  I guess I like Paul's sculpting too much!!  Regular arms can always be converted to mutant claws/tentacles, but going the other direction is tougher.

 Well I suppose it is time for more info from me.

 I have just recieved pictures of five Goblins that Adam Gayford (wiffwaff) has done for me.Very cool little sculpts.Should have them in my grubby little hands this week.

 Andrew Rae has done three very impressive female barbarian types which will fit in with the Son's of Kronos miniatures.

 Paul Muller will be doing more pieces for me for around the end of the month.These I am really looking forward to seeing.

 More painted examples should be back around the end of the month too.There are three different painters working on them for me.Should get quite a few different takes on them.

 Any ideas for miniatures or what you would like to see first from what has been shown let me know and I will see what I can do.

 All the best

 Andy C.
