Master Estel, I am unsure about this. I am waiting for the fact, that Jim Corless manages his PayPal account, ten month in the meantime. 😡

If I’m not mistaken…. Jim is a builder and I’m sure he earns his living with building not casting.
The other question would be, who would be the one to pay for the right of casting these minis? Chris? Mithril?
Very interesting indeed. Who got the rights? This would be a good question to ask Chris! He should know, he made them.
By the way, all of the ones I got don’t have a undercoat eigther.:rolleyes:

I suspect Time Machine bought the rights because the two Warbands sets went into production. There were high production moulds already in existence. The Isengarders and the short blokes were all from a test run of 20-30 models each. No doubt the moulds are dead by now*

Now I would have much preferred to see the Dwarves released by Phaeton or Time Machine in larger numbers. they look cool – just not cool enough to spent all that money on them.

* Though sometimes when Phaeton offers an M5 or M12 or M17 “from his personal collection” I get the sneakiest, sneakiest suspicion that he still has a master mould from these and casts about a half dozen a year and then flogs them. Which, of course, is what I’d do. Being evil and all.

Nothing to do with evil. It’s called change pewter into money! Or otherwise me think it’s called business.
Depending on rubber used for the mould, I don’t think a mould will last for 20 years…. but is you have a master figure you always can make a new mould. Well also, if you just have a single cast.

Hi Gildor, I put them in here now. So it might be easier for you to get them from here to the Gallery. Then there are those three archers …

I do hope this helps a bit to keep a complete record of the “lost army”. But this is all there is. I’m sorry about having forgotten to provide these last pics along with the others … I just can imagine that then I was somehow distracted by other matters. Anyway, here they are.
I still feel a bit of having to excuse about those background colours again, but believe me that the light here in the past winter (fingers crossed) were not that helpful as I always try to take pics in “daylight” (simply because I cannot afford a photo-studio) …. well … what’s done is done

Well, this weekend has been my friend in my house taking pictures. Here is the MW347 without undercoat as suggested by Master Tree

I can only see 2 archers. C5A is missing. This is the archer with the mohawk.

Ok ok, I read through again and you mentioned that you are missing 3 figs.

Yes, unfortunately, I am missing 3 figures: C3a Spearman, C5a archer (Mohawk) and C8a Swordsman.

Does anyone have to trade?

Huooommm … first thank you for the pics, Master Erchamion … you’re right the missing ones are C3a, C5a and C8a ….. huom … Master Gildor has added most of the single pics I took of that warband in his Gallerey section some time ago … just to identify each piece …. rhuoom
I’m sorry to tell you that I do not have any spare figures or sets as I always only bought one set for me as I’m a collector and had no intention to sell further sets or figures on Ebay for higher prices … huooomm
… sorry, but I really cannot help with this, Master Erchamion …
