Egyptian Chainsaw MassackerThe new Anubis minis look awesome and I realy look forward to the other guys of the team!
I am almost finisched painting my first of the two, it's the thrower:
it struck me that it would be realy cool if he had a chainsaw in his hands instead of the ball... he would be a nice secret weapon anubis.
This should be an "easy" conversion for a pro sculpter so tt would mean cheap to make ... or not?!?
also this might be a good substitute mini for another team what some people might use this minis for..
but I don't know if you allready have planns for a secret weapon guy for the team..
BTW: what minis are on the road for this team?

That tortoise-thing green you won on eBay, with an eygptian headress.
Might not be authentic Eygpt, but I'd buy one.

No Ra Striker? :(
As for the big guy... It's tricky as you have most of the major humanoid animals represented there, Sotek, Bast, Anubis, Thoth (Ibis iirc?) and Vulture (Nekhbet).
The Set animal is pretty much out, as it's a mess to commission. But we already knew that one.
I'd consider a Scarab (Khepri I think was the related God) which would lend itself well to being large in scale.
Or a Sphinx.
Other possible God animals are:
Ram - Chnum, Aken, Ba (Osiris) and various others
Baboon - Babi
Bull & Cow - Bakha & Bata amongst others (Probably too close to minotaurs)
Snake (Cobra & Serpents) - Various
Scorpion - Hedetet I think, rather minor
Other sacred animals inclue Hippos, Frogs, Lions and the Wolf (But that was later blended to the Jackal, which you already have.)

A hippo-god Big Guy would be awesome!
Open-mouthed with those huge tusks...

We already have a hippo figure kinda in the works from another team that we are working on.
Let me think about this ... fen has some interesting suggestions. I am tempted by the idea of doing a Big Guy in the form of a Man-Scorpion. After seeing the Mummy 2 ... I like the imagery even if the CGI on the Rock sucked big time. A Giant Scarab Bettle player is interesting as well. Definitely something to think about.
And fen ... if the figures sell real well ... and Heather is willing to sketch another one and Victoria is willing to sculpt another one ... we could consider something like a Ra Striker. At this point ... our bigger concern is getting enough players to fill out the team.
As for the Turtle guy that Simon mentioned ... he went off to the caster last week along with 6 friends (Turtle Big Guy, 3 new sculpts from Patrick Keith, and 3 new sculpts from Phil Bowen).
And since you guys stop ordering when we show you pictures of stuff coming ... I'll leave it at that as we are counting on the Holiday sale paying some bills (like casting 7 new figures  )

Okay what the heck ... ONE leak of stuff coming up ... but that's it ... consider a Thanksgiving present from the partner on the side of the pond that celebrates that holiday. I'm doubting anyone will but their orders on hold for these figures ... at least I hope not (again ... could use that money to pay to have the figures cast). It might be January before these figure actually make it to the store so don't be asking in December where they are. 
After these are cast I will be adding them into a Valkyrie Team #3 with 2 of one of the figure and Valkyrie Team #4 with 2 of the other.

Hey, I bought stuff! I just didn't pay until Chaos Cup!
Of course, I've seen the concept art... and loved it.
Any chance any of those becoming prints?

Heather Bruton did the concept art for the Egyptian team.
My understanding is that she will be selling her 6 sketches as a print set at GenCon in 2007. I know we are planning on packaging the 6 figures to go with the prints. I assume she was going to be selling the set with or without our set of figures.

Wow-wee!! I'm excited to see Phil's sculpted some cool Wolf-folk for the Valk team! Any word as to if he's going to attempt to try a big guy for the team or is the plan to let the IMPACT! Snow troll be it?

My understanding is the Ice Troll will be enough.

I like the Anubis for the Thro-Ra minis and would love 2 Sebeki blitzers for the Blitz-Ras. The rest of the team works for me.
