Demonsmith Mortar and Roadmap

Hi everyone,

Thanks for bearing with me while I took a little break from sculpting, and particular thanks to those of you that left nice comments on the previous post. Rest assured I'm back to it now and there will be a release in October as usual!

It's high time that the Demonsmiths got their first piece of artillery, so alongside the previously teased regiment of blunderbusses, the dreaded mortar will shortly be making an appearance. The shells fired by this infernal construct are so large that they require a captive ogre to load them, but fortunately the Demonsmiths are never short of these kind of "helpers"! In addition to the ogre, there is a crew of 2 dwarfs, one of which can be printed with either a big hat or a helmet as you prefer. I will also include a bespoke 40 x 20 mm base with suitable recesses.

Roadmap

I haven't provided a roadmap for a while so here's roughly how I see the rest of the Demonsmith army panning out for the $5 Glade Denizen tier (please bear in mind that exact timings are all subject to change!):

October: Blunderbusses, mortar, character

November: Heavy orc infantry, rocket artillery, character

December: Centaurs, hobgoblin bolt thrower, character

January: Light orc infantry, magical flying monster, character

For the $10 glade noble tier I'm still thinking about what is the best way forward. I know there are many of you excited for more rats but I think it will be very difficult for me to sculpt them alongside the Demonsmiths, and do both armies justice. So I think it's quite likely that for the time being I'll go back to making some extra units and characters for the armies I've already completed. I'm very sorry to those of you that will be disappointed by this news but I do want to assure you that I will return to the rats and create a full army as soon as I can - you'll just have to wait a little longer I'm afraid.
