Table Top Talk

The month of November flew by. Now December (and 2009) are almost history too!

Between work, snow and a flu bug I (we) have been so busy that site updates have fallen way behind schedule again…

Fear not. A new year is just around the corner as are some more new figures (Spanish Insurectos for the Moro Rebellion line are just waiting for molds) as well as the next round of Scruby 54mm remolds.

I hope to post once ore before the end of the year – work is slowing down, so I might just have a little more time to work on TTT and other website updates.

If you look at he specials page you will notice that we’ve extended the “free” shipping on Resistant Roosters product through the end of January. Look for some new specials at the end of the month.

Happy Holidays!

It is now less than 24 hours before we head out for Rock-Con – not quite ready yet, but getting close.

The last week has seen much activity at HistoriFigs HQ. In addition to casting and fulfilling our regular orders, we have been busy with convention preparation. We not only cast our own figures, we also print all of our own packaging. I’m not sure which is more work, casting or printing and cutting packaging materials.

Tomorrow marks the official release of the new Resistant Roosters Early War Germans. The last of the production molds was completed on Monday and the figures were packed out on Tuesday. If you are attending Rock-Con be sure to stop by and check out the new release. I’m not sure if I ‘ll have time to update the Resistant Roosters website before Monday, but be sure to check in Monday night for the updated listing to include the Early War Germans.

While on the subject of new releases I should mention that tomorrow we are releasing the first of our tentacle themed Blasted Planets offerings – the Asti. Pictures and more Blasted Planets news next week.

The third print run of Jack Scruby’s Mafrica map is almost sold out. Only a couple left. Rock-Con may be your last chance to pick up one of these. We will do another print run, but not until we have a sufficient number of requests.

If you are attending Rock-Con this weekend, be sure to stop by and say hi! You might even win some nifty prizes…

Until next time!

Way back in August we posted the first pictures of our new Resistant Roosters Early War Germans with a promise to post more pictures once the second batch was in…

Processing the second batch took longer than planned, so pictures have been delayed until now. Once again Randy F. took brush in hand to paint up a set of samples for us. Here now is a peek at our new figures (early war Germans in helmet) as painted by Randy:

I’m finishing up the production molds and will have the first sets available at Rock-Con next week.

Our new figure development process will allow for lower pricing on these (and future) new platoon packs. Check back next week for final pricing on the new Early War German Platoon packs.

Those of you interested in such things as product budgeting and such migth be interested to know that this was our first project with a real budget. Not was it our first with a budget, it was our first to come in on budget! Inital numbers were showing us over budget by $5 to $10, but a second look shows that we brought this one in on (perhaps even a little under) budget…

As promised the other day I am posting some pictures of the new 1914 Russians in Fur Cap. These new figures help round out the Bloodaxe Miniatures offering of 1914 Russians (there are a few more Russian figures planned – a few more command figures, and an artillery crew; all in fur cap.

For figure listings visit the Bloodaxe Miniatures website. For a first look at the figures, see the pictures below.

Coming up next time: Resistant Roosters new Early War (39-41) Germans…
