Yes - the eagle is next in line to be cast - Subadai will follow, probably in a mould with the woman miniature 'greensleeves'.

yay!! can't wait to get an eagle or two and this one of course. i might also be tempted to buy another 'greensleeves', as even though mine is ment to look like eyown (sp?) i think she would be a great model to represent Arwen. so 2 Big thumbs up to you ebob

You are my God!
I love this mini!
Will he be released with a horseback version? And also, while I'm here - do you have a rough idea cost-wise of how much that Eagle will sell for? I might have to put one of my wishlist I scatter around the house.
Thanks mate!

Initially, Subadai will be a one-off as you see him here. Eventually a mounted verison will make an appearance - but I want him on a rearing up horse - so I need to do and cast a new rearing up horse blank first.
The eagle - do NOT quote me on this - I am hoping will be around £12 - but my caster has not seen it yet so I don't know how metal he'll charge me on the casting - and I'll need to pop it on the scales for postage - because if someone was to buy 5 and have them sent to Australia - I need to make sure I'm not loosing out - but £12 would be my best guess. At this price however it will not include the base - the base will be an addtional option - I am planning it to be a resin cast base @ £3.00. Many folk will not want the base (I'm sure many people will have their own ideas about a base or a diorama) so I figure better to have it as an option rather than charge everyone for a base that many will not require. I might have one or two options on the base also (i.e. rocks, tree stump etc).

The image looks very dark on monitor at work - it looked fine on my laptop as the screen is obviously a lot brighter - can everyone see the images ok?

pic does look a little dark to me, but i took a look at all the different veiws and they looked ok. You can put me down for one of these, as of yet i have every pose of tribesman you have produced. Did you base him on anyone in particular, or was he just a design you liked? btw, while im posting, i seem to remember you mentioning "heavy cavalry"...was this the cavalry you have already released (i extremely doubt it)or is there still them to come?

He's a design based loosely on a book illustration of a Mongol lord I found in a random book published in Russian.
The Heavy cavalry would have armoured horses.

that estimated price is so very cheap!!! but i won't hold my breath to it yet. also this may sound strange but would you then also just sell the bases to people? as they could be handy to people with ents or other such beings? plus i take it the modular ruin is now not going to be cast and sold due to newline, am i correct? ( unless you use that sneaky plan i spoke of in the other thread )] can't wait to see a mounted version, it would probably be twice as cool!!! thanks Fatty

I think the ruins need a rethink - most likely - removing the statue which is not entirely necessary as you can get that plastic one anyway from GW.
The bases would be sold separately - so yes, you could just buy a base if you wanted to.

or you could sell the ruin on its own minus the satus BUT you could just sell them sepratly say somthing like packs of 3, so there not included with them but you could still have them

Cheers for clearing that up!
I was also just about to ask about a bulk pack - I'm sure they'd go well as prizes in a Tournament!
Awesome mate, I will definatly buy one. This deserves plugging! ;D

so does that mean we can expect you to release another set of warrior-type miniatures for your mongol range?
