That looks like high-quality work. Just be careful: The minis-police might decide to shut you down like they did those guys in Spain, and like they tried to do to Ebob. :evil:
Thanks. I hope I'm safe from mini-police. I wouldn't be able to sell them under any trade names used by NewLine or Games Workshop and wouldn't want to.
My host of living dead warriors will not be copies of GW's minis; they will simply be a host of generic living dead warriors for use in fantasy gaming. If someone would like to use them alongside their GW collection, then that's up to them.
While certainly in keeping with GW minis, in terms of realism and scale, the design of the figures will be unique. The armour is my own simple design, based on historical images and my imagination. The heads are skulls rather than the decomposing heads created by NL and GW, so that's another difference.
The minis I plan will also have differently styled weapons too, some of which will be totally different from GW's. Do they have a standard bearer in their army? Nope. Do they have archers? Nope. Warriors armed with spears
and shields? Nope.
Edit 2011 - okay, so someone from GW may have read this before the release of the plastic aotd! Well, I don't see any archers...The only main common features will be that they are 'dead', have some holes in their clothing and they look ace!
I presume I can call them a host of the living dead as I think that that is a generic term and, as far as I know, is not a trademark of any mini company. 'Undead' warriors in various styles and forms are quite common in the mini world and are already produced by several different companies. I have no intention of reproducing a product that is already available. My aim is to produce a unique host with a great deal of scope for interesting game play - in whatever theme the player chooses to use them.
Well, this all seems a bit ambitious and pie in the sky at the moment... I haven't finished my first sculpt yet! However, it's great to have something to aim for. I'd love to have made my own minis, then be able to paint them and use them in my games. For me, that would be the ultimate cool thing in this hobby.
