We've got threads for some of the big players - I can't be bothered to do separate threads for various little ones, so I'll post new miniatures/kickstarters etc. that I come across. Feel free to add any more you know of. Norba Miniatures - Hierotitan - www.norbaminiatures.com/en/home/200-hierotitan.htmlThey're another of the Spanish companies that do great minis but have terrible customer service. I think their delivery service is terrible from what I've read (haven't ordered from them before). They've got a good sized range, with the Hierotitan just having come out.  Lubart Miniatures - look to be new - they have a 9th age thread here with lots of images: www.the-ninth-age.com/index.php?thread/41603-lubart-miniatures-supports-the-9th-ageIt looks like they're doing Skaven, though they have a TK chariot artwork on the third page of the thread. They've got a live kickstarter for their Skaven army: [indiegogo url="https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-vermin-swarm-army-compatible-with-the-9th-age"]I'm not sold on their Skaven aesthetic - the poses/proportions are quite off from GW ones, but they're still better than some of the old GW "monkey" Skaven. A few examples:     |

It's really weird seeing a Heirotitan that is actually proportional. I'm really glad SOMEONE actually made a model for it though. I'm tempted!
The skaven....meh. We already have all of those models and they aren't so different from their predecessors. The Jezzarelles (sp?) look a little too 40K for me. Hopefully they are much cheaper.

Some of those rat men (I refuse to say Skaven) look to “digital sculpting” to me. Surfaces are too smooth, and there’s a lack of interesting textures.

Really not a fan of the "Skaven" at all; The Hellpit is nice though. I'm reserving judgement on that one until I see it with paint on it.
Heirotitan looks pretty good though.

I kind of like the Skaven the more I look at it. More grim, dark and steampunk.
Regarding Norba, please try a small order but think of it as a lottery ticket. I have heard so much bad about them, from all images are 3d renders and real minis never come close to a lot of people wait several months to never see their order and never get refunded. I have never tried myself though.

I’ve found Norba models to be fine, though they need a fair bit of cleaning up. mottdon bought a load of their white wolf guard on foot (the name escapes me) and you can see them in his Empire thread. I waited just over 3 months for my order to arrive and I think Mottdon waited around 2 months. |

Yeah, I have to admit, Norba's L-men look a bit rushed. The weapons and standard look pretty bad.

While I appreciate the Heirotitan Norba seems to be the most shameless Games Workshop knock off artist out there!
Just blatant lol.

Has anyone ever ordered any terrible kids miniatures? [Loong Way Miniatures] Terrible-Kids-Stuff Beastman 75mm Resin Miniature s.click.aliexpress.com/e/LKKwl9JThis giant Beastman sculpt looks pretty great to me and could pass for a giant or other gribbly for them as it should be roughly 3 times the size of a normal Beastman? I'm not a big fan of the downward horns but really like everything else. Price seems reasonable too for a resin model of that size. Ive been considering for some time. They also have other sculpts such as a giant centaur and Beastmen shaman but the size is 75mm. I haven't seen any size comparison between terrible kids and games workshop so am not sure how big it actually is. Attached is artist sculpt of the miniature for sale by Terrible kids. He has sculpted for Mierce Miniatures also.  |

It's a scenery kickstarter, already comfortably funded and with 11 days to go. It's designed to be modular and to be easily magnetised so you can set it up differently each time; also made in HIPS plastic (proper "hard" plastic). There's two different designs - a cathedral style that's not the traditional overly-gothic theme; it'd work well for most Old World human nations. The second is a South American style one that obviously would be great for Lustria.

Yeah I don’t really like those Skaven. I’m about done collecting for Skaven at least until I find some Jezzails.
Lizardmen look interesting but I just bought 3 boxes worth of Saurus Warriors.
