Barbarian, if you started these as a bit of fun, then the only person you really have to satisfy is yourself (a commission is different of course). So if you like them, and they suit what you wanted to use them for don't change anything.
If you go on to do more fantasy stuff you could always make the next figures you do a bit bigger and then return to these after a while and do bigger versions (there's nothing more disheartening than having to sculpt again figures you've just finished).

For what its worth I think they are lovely figures, there's a fineness to the detail which is hard to achieve. If they are a bit small that only emphasises the quality of the work to me. A couple of mm makes a big difference at this scale, its much harder to pack that much detail into a 10mm figure as opposed to a 11 or 12mm one.

Agreed Clib.

They're superb quality and had a lot of us itching to get our hands on them.

Some still are.  For me though...just that bit too small and not bulky enough.

If we killed everyone that thought they're too small then customer satisfaction percentages would rise and future complaints likely fall by a significant level. I'm not saying that's definitely what we should do - it's just one option to consider.

Is there any date for the release of the chaotic horde?

a beautiful general could be one sitting on a throne, with some bodyguards with hounds or wolfs around the throne... just an idea... :)

can't wait to expand my chaos army with those beauties  8)

At the moment these won't be produced by Pendraken I'm afraid.  They're just that little bit too small to fit with the our other Fantasy ranges, and it would lead to complaints from people who bought them with any other figures.

The figures themselves are awesome though, especially in the flesh.  We'll have a chat with Barbarian and see if there's any other options to bring these to market.

Aye, its a real shame that Leon.  They're lovely sculpts, just off scale.   :(

Will do, we're going to help Barbarian out as much as we can, as the quality of the sculpting certainly deserves it.

I'm sorry if I've failed you.

I'm going to send an e-punch to your face for such a comment.

With texturized bases and painted they will look just great. And the size, taking into account the comparison, in my opinion won't matter that much ingame, because armies will be homogeneous. And I like the detail and style.

Would the company seriously take into account to close this request at this point? I think barbarian won't resculpt everything the same/slightly different to fullfill this (if he does.. well, ofc is also good, will reach more market) but I consider the quality of them superb, really worth it.

I'm considering using a platform of crowdfunding such as Indiegogo to produce these.

I'm planning how to set rewards and prizing to be "realistic" for the backers and for me : this is not easy but basically, I'd prefer to stay on the kind of prizing Pendraken does.

I have already other sculpts to throw in in case the funding would succeed.

I'm in the writing process of a video too, as it seems to help a lot on these projects.

I'll get back to you as soon I have fresh news.

I don't understand this method, barbarian. So going to Indiegogo will mean that your models won't be able to be bought from Pendraken? Well, I will still buy mine xD And I also would love to see your work in Pendraken shopping basket.

Hi,

In case it is of interest, I saw on TMP that the evil men are now on Indiegogo: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/evil-men-fantasy-10mm-miniatures I hope it is ok to post the link here. Would be nice if the chariots could be unlocked

Dunnadd

I will be donating to this though i can't afford to donate a huge amount.

barbarian

Guess who will be doing the casting ?  :D
