Middle Kingdoms team ... green previewOne more Elfball team is almost ready for release!
Looks like this team will be in the store the first part of December.
Once again we want to thank Jason at Tritex Games and Lorenzo at the Fantasy Football Store for helping us fund getting these figures made.
Atalanta and Makhaon are NOT being cast for the team.
Not shown in the image are 3 figures for the team:
1) Jason who is a beefy player similar to Herakles
2) The Cyclops player for the team is not shown.
3) There is also a head sprue also for this range to convert other models
to match the head types of the team.

currently on my painting table and very nice sculpts...
I'm not quite sure why Iron Wind felt the need to cut some of the greens up in the way they did.. Odysseus is a 5 piece model..

Will you be selling these as ElfBall compatible teams? Some sculpts I like, personally dislike icarus and nestor, but the rest are not bad, better than i thought they would be based on the earlier green pics, now gettem painted up ramz! ;)

Sculptor sent Odysseus as a 4 piece model and then Iron Wind needed to cut the body into 2 to cast it. that's how he ended up 5 pieces.

I like the looks of Atlanta, too bad she is not being cast.
They all look great! Well done!

Atlanta was Fantasy Football Female #1 in our store with some very minor green stuff changes. Something you could probably do yourself if you desired.

I take back my earlier comment about not liking this team. It looks great. Can't wait to see them painted up.

Very nice, especially Aias.

Waiting to see them painted, as at the moment I (unfortunately) prefer the 5th ed FF human team.

why does everyone ignore me 
|

I'm sure we will be selling these as Elfball specific teams...
and as always, if you want a tailored team. just tell Tom you want to swap model X for model Y and we can do that..
shame there is no pic of the cyclops, he is arguably the best of all..

ooooh, look what I found...

I'm going to play Middle Kingdoms...

The cyclop is really really beautiful, thanks a lot Norse for the picture !
Is he human sized or is he bigger ? 
|
Norse
|
he is big guy sized, and fits beautifully on a 30mm base.. so maybe half as big again as a human, without being so big he cannot lie flat on the field..

I like the look of these minis.
Will definitely be placing an order when the become available.
|

These look marvellous!
Any chance of pictures of the head sprue, big guy head, troll at the casters, or the missing Jason? Pleeeeeeeeease?

Seeing the Cyclops Green reminded me of a cheesy old joke.
Here goes.......
My Cyclops has no nose.
Really, how does he smell?
.......Terrible
The old ones are the best. Maybe not.
In any case, when is the Middle Kingdoms team going to be in the store?
|
Norse
|
in the next 2 weeks I think..

They'll be in the store I hope this week with a notice that ordering of them might be delayed by an extra 2 weeks as they are in transit to the UK.

Thanks
The UK postal service slows a little in the run up to the festive season due to increased mail volumes, I'm assuming things are the same in the States.
However, that should still leave plenty of time for them to arrive before Christmas.
That's the Wife's present to me sorted. Now I just need to figure out what she wants.

Hey do you think we could have a 12 man Middle Kingdoms team deal(s) for those of us that actually play Elfball and don't need 16 figures?

No worries. I know it takes a while. I have a website too and it's been in need of an update for a couple of weeks...and what excuse do I have?

Did I mention that I had back surgery on Friday. So go easy on the old man.
I'm also trying to deal with the fact that US Dollar is worth 25% more in the world market than it was two months ago. Sigh ... that fact is a serious pain in my butt.
Galak

Dark Lord

Oooh. Sorry about the back surgery! Get well soon!
And why are you worried about the dollar? Less overseas sales?

Most of Impact! goods are purchased with US dollars which means that it make the goods cost more than they have the last year we've been open to our overseas customers.
Doing our best to keep the prices down for everyone ... but its tough.
We didn't raise our prices when everyone else was with metal skyrocketing ... but the currency change is not one that we can ignore easily.

I guess it has small benefits too, getting UK sculptors will be a lot cheaper, but i know there are the drawbacks you currently mentioned

Out of interest (having just re-priced 2/3rds of my store), do miniatures have VAT on them in the UK?
[Edit] Never mind - from Tom's post on TBB, they are.

Yes they do ... but Impact! doesn't do enough UK business to qualify to pay VAT. So the tax break didn't effect us.

When can we see the head sprue?

You could always opt-in to VAT even if you're below the threshold to claim back VAT from the rest of the supply chain.

Our supply chain is 98% US based.
