IMPACT! MINIATURES

Some of it comes to pricing. For example ... I'd really love to have Sylvian do our Siringit range ... but he charges around $20 per mm. I can get most other artists for $10 per mm. So you end up really having to decide if you want to pay double for every mm of height of the figure to use some of the big names.

Its why folks like Kev White and Andy Foster go into business for themselves. Its the only way to get the $$$ per an mm that they would like to receive (and more power to them as trying to sculpt and run a business is not something I would try).

Galak,

have you tried to contact with Juza? He is a good sculpter and is starting to produce his own miniatures. Perhaps he could do some for Impact! In fact he is working on a chaos dwarf team for the spanish FF forum.

Some pictures of his work:

He has not his own company. He is selling miniatures through internet, but as an amateur. He is also sculpting a CD team for the Sapnish FF forum. He hasn't the infrastructure to mount a company. But as you can see he is a good sculptor. Why don't you ask? If he says no, then things remain equal, if not you have a good sculptor working for you. Don't take it wrong Galak, but you don't have anything to loose. Try

I think he speaks spanish, but if not, I can translate some short mails

Looks like a great talent. That CD is awesome!

Galak........Juza posts on Druchii.net, so he does speak some English, although I'm not sure how fluent he is, he at least know enough to get by. That is how I found out about his female elf heroine with the blade above her head, and yes it does look as good as the picture shows.

According to his posts he is planning 3 Chaos Dwarves and a Bull Centuar. Here is a link for the discussion on the other forums and to see some of his work in process stuff. http://www.druchii.net/viewtopic.php?t=50885

Hopefully you can get some elf FF players out of him.

Mephisto..........Do you know if he has the female with the snake wrapped around her for sale? I haven't seen anything on his website about it.

... or let him sculpt one or two Night Elves looking more like the players on the front cover of the Rulebook.

Sorry if this is listed somewhere and I've just missed it but do you have an actual projected release schedule? Right now my biggest complaint with the game is just that there are a lot of teams that have no minis. You can proxy things in but that takes away from the joy of using minis in the first place. You can also pull from other ranges but you too often end up with minis that look more "rpg-fighty" than "fantasy-sporty" and too many other mini lines have moved to the 28mm (or "heroic") scale which, IMO, does not look good when mixed with regular 25mm stuff.
