Christmas is coming, Any chance of a release before then? Options

[Lord Slithigg]

OK, time for an update on the release schedule I think. Please? Pretty Please?!
Christmas is coming, I need to know what to put on my list. Seeing my friend Tony's awesome titan army, and not being able to purchase my own is VERY frustrating. They are wave 2 in the release schedule, still no dates for anything there.

Just FYI, They will make great models for WFB chaos ogres, trolls or dragon ogres. That new Warriors of Chaos book just came out, and is screaming at me to make a troll based army with these models. If they don't come out until next year, I have a feeling I'll be skipping it to work on expanding my new lizardmen army, since they will be releasing them early next year. Hmmm, 3 armies just this year (daemons, dark elves, chaos)

Still hoping for the new Master of the Hunt and howlers some time soon too.
Any news? Any advice on where to get all these prerelease titans that I see in photos here?

Here's an update for you guys...

We have planned for a direct-to-webstore release of the Mummy warrior unit in December. There are now finished, and we'll be having the production molds made in the next couple weeks.

We've had lots of requests for new unit options for your Aegyptus warbands, and we have been listening. In the works are 6! more units: Typhon warriors with 2 swords (featured on the Greens Gallery), Asar slingers in light armor, Heru warriors in medium armor with 2 hand weapons, To-Tanem warriors in medium armor and shield and spears, Anubi slingers, and Asar City-Dwellers of Cynopolis (Anubis). The models for these units are nearly finished, and we'll be releasing a new unit after December every month to six weeks, depending on how the production goes.

Titans are next on the schedule for commercial release, and we hope to have these out around the end of the year.

After the Titan release, we have a mixed release of Aegyptus characters, and the reprint of the updated Aegyptus rulebook in softcover. This should be sometime this winter, January or February. Following this we have sever new print products that we'll be pushing out the door.

So that's what's on the immediate horizon -- hope this helps!

That is great news. It is good you have a schedule, I really hope it happens.

Just a comment if there are any issues on getting funding for a casting run...did you see the support behind the "unofficial" sebeki crypt lord sculpt? It is cast and delivered, all based on preorders. If I knew that sending in money for a preorder would almost guarantee that I got a new fig, like the MotH or the howlers for example, I'd gladly preorder and send money to support the casting. Not sure that would work business-wise, but might be something to consider.

thats great news to here that you will be bringing the anubi slingers out soon. and everything else.

I am *really* excited about this! Huzzah!

Very happy about this on the one hand and worried about my bank ballance on the Other

Oh well I shall just have to sell sell sell.

[Nekheny]

OK, maybe I am too daft, but does this mean, that all these 6 units will be released in December and a new unit each month after that, or will only the first of these 6 be released in December?

I have to ask, since I still need something order to get my Basti painter shipped with till the end of December (or can we pick the Painter up at Canterbury?).

Cheers,

Burkhard

Great to hear that there will be more new Aegyptus figures soon. Does this mean that we can expect to see starter sets / warband deals for the Totanem and Anubi in the near future too?

Will there be any Khemru to follow this set of releases? Re-release of the beastmaster on elephant? A Khemru starter deal? It would be great if there were because that would round out the Aegyptus ranges nicely, with a starter set or two for each of the factions.

[Teirlach]

As I understand what Chris has said the Mummy Archers are first in December and then another unit every month to six weeks after that.

Now I am trying to sort out my order before christmas too.

Cheers

I agree with Ruarigh it would be good to get starter sets for those factions that do not yet have them.

[Sebeki]

Ive got to try and sort out my order for the basti painter to. But i dont know what else i want at the moment . The unit i want isnt coming out in december.

[Badru Claw of Mi...]

Hmmmm could I order the Mummies, then be on the lsit to have them charged and shipped when they come out? I want to order something to get my Basti painter before year's end!

Whoah! Easy there!

New Starter sets are eventually going to happen, but I'm not sure when -- they tie up a lot more sculpting resources than just a unit. They require an entire set of all-new minis, as we can't really make a set with an exclusive mini and a bunch of figures that people already own.

The elephant is going to be redesigned, we should have that sometime next year.

I can say that a Khemru starter set is a long way away, as that warband has all the essentials already.

As I am currently finishing up a unit of City Dweller of Cynopolis Archers this mention of new City Dweller mini's has peaked my interest! I ask but one question, do thay have capes?

[Dreadaxe]

Is it possible to see some pictures?

[Vye King]

This is great news. I have a 1000 point warband of To-Tanem in Heavy Armour with Shields and Spears, but I've never converted and have been lost as to getting it together! Of course, I have figures for everything already that I will have to replace soon, but dren happens.
Any word on when the Artifex and Colossus will be available?

The Artifax is available now and has been at shows many times Salute 2008, GenCon 2008, & Derby 2008.

I did check and it is still not on the Online Store how strange.

The Colossus as far as I am aware is undergoing a remolding and so will be some time.

I hope that helps.

[Alcibia]

Some great news, but no indication of a non-titan Olympus release. I constantly add to my Aegyptus collection and like what I am seeing - however, no city state warriors, no new Mycenaens to add to my collection, not even a hint. If there is to be no Olympus release (non-titan) "soon" could we maybe have a few new shield designs or other pieces to do conversions?

[jeffhiatt]

.....After the Titan release, we have a mixed release of Aegyptus characters, and the reprint of the updated Aegyptus rulebook in softcover.....

The rule books are getting harder and harder to find. Is there any chance that they could be placed for sale on something like RPGNow or some similar PDF sale site.
