Title: Delay to May 2011 Releases


Otherworld - May 23, 2011 01:22 PM (GMT)
I'm afraid that there will be a bit of a delay to the release of the next batch of new miniatures, as some sculpts were unfortunately finished a bit later than planned. I have pushed back the official release date to 10th June, although pre-orders will be shipped out earlier than this if I get the castings shipped to me before that date.

Apologies to all.

Any info on the status on these...
Not trying to rush just want to get my hands
On the Drow :D

Otherworld - June 16, 2011 03:08 PM (GMT)
Sorry, still not here yet. Looks like it's going to be early next week now.

My casters are working flat out. It was a big order, with 7 new moulds (5 production, 2 master) and a huge restock following the sale, so it's taking a while to complete.

Apologies to everyone who's waiting! :(

doomrunner72 - June 16, 2011 03:24 PM (GMT)
Wow Thank You for the update... As I said before your miniatures
Are worth the wait :D

shoggothic - June 16, 2011 09:09 PM (GMT)
Appreciate the update, as I too am eagerly awaiting the re-stock of older miniatures as well as the cool looking new figures. :)

clam - June 17, 2011 07:56 AM (GMT)
Noooo, my Duergars :wacko: - was expecting them any day now.

- but thanks for letting us know - of course ;)

So ....... where are my Duergars, Richard? :D Have they arrived and started shipping?

Otherworld - June 29, 2011 01:23 PM (GMT)
Many apologies for the delay, and thanks for your patience if you're waiting for an order. This morning I received the last part of my recent order (a massive 120kg of metal!) which included all the new stuff. I'll be working my way through the substantial backlog of orders over the next few days (and nights), so everyone should have their orders soon.

Welf VIII. - June 29, 2011 02:32 PM (GMT)
Richard, as I assume some orders might be more urgent than others as some might need them for a certain project very soon, please work on my order at the end of the process. I am in no hurry and I still have lots of other things to paint first.

Keep up the good work!

AndyM - June 29, 2011 02:46 PM (GMT)
Great, thanks for the update. I'm looking forward to seeing all the new shiney things!!

Wulfspur - June 30, 2011 04:47 AM (GMT)
YAY! Yummy bits o metal a-comin! :P

Andrew May - June 30, 2011 11:26 AM (GMT)
Great news Richard, I havn't wanted to bother you with asking but I am glad that the minis will be on they're way soon. :)

clam - June 30, 2011 07:26 PM (GMT)
Thanks Richard :)

120 kg of lead ...? Now thats a serious lead pile ;P

Looking forward getting my Duergars - and hope that the masters will soon be at Kev, so he can start doing the conversions.

Andrew May - July 1, 2011 08:51 AM (GMT)
I got my order first thing this morning (with added gubbins), Thanks very much Richard! :D

red dreads - July 1, 2011 03:41 PM (GMT)
Mine also arrived today :P ,with an extra surprise :o ,2 mimics!.Most generous and unexpected, many thanks Richard.

DrMike - July 3, 2011 02:27 PM (GMT)
Just received my Amphisbaena (very cool), hook horror and rats - well worth the wait! Already started painting them up! :lol:

Otherworld - July 3, 2011 02:48 PM (GMT)
It's good to hear that orders are now getting to customers, but there's still quite a backlog, I'm afraid. I'll be working my way through it as quickly as I can, with the aim of clearing all outstanding orders by the end of this week.

I'd just like to thank everybody for their patience, and apologise again for the delays.

Thanks for the heads-up that you're still working through the backlog, Richard---and to other folks for letting us know as orders are arriving :D I'll keep and eye out for the new goodies, and let you know when they're in-hand!

Cthulhu - July 7, 2011 07:40 PM (GMT)
Feel free to do my order last, especially if there are mimics in it :D

While our postal strike/lockout is over, things have slowed to a crawl mailwise.



SLGers - July 7, 2011 08:50 PM (GMT)
Well my wife's lovely otherworld figures arrived ;) plus free mimics- many thanks Richard.
Cheered me right up,
Thanks
Dave Leigh

Yeah, checking in with the arrival of a divorce inducing pile of pewter - the unreleased spiders are really cute - thanks Richard!

hmm... time to get me pencils out I think :-)

clam - July 8, 2011 05:48 PM (GMT)
My box of awesomeness arrived today :)

Duergars are fantastic - and even better real life

- and so are the EoT II - and the Ogre marge ...!!! John, think you outdid yourself here - this is probably the most complete model till day - awesome.

Looking some much forward start painting some of these :D

What do the spiders look like?

clam - July 8, 2011 08:40 PM (GMT)

John - July 8, 2011 08:43 PM (GMT)
They look nice - but those Dwarves look terrible. The person who made them should be shot!

clam - July 8, 2011 08:58 PM (GMT)
Yes you're right, he shouldn't be allowed touching a sculpting tool ever again :D

But if you look closely you'll see I've tried fixing some of the mistakes, he made ;-)




ignervius scumme - July 9, 2011 06:15 PM (GMT)
My duergar, berserkers, hill giant, manticore and spiders came through last week. they were a self purchased fathers day present. All I can say is that they were well worth the wait! Thanks Richard. These are absolutely brilliant. Love the expression on the giant. I will be using the spiders in my lads first ever RPG.

Accalon - July 10, 2011 03:35 PM (GMT)
Got my package yesterday, and i'm well happy. The Manticore looks great IRL, can't wait to get it painted up. Might have to bump it up a few steps on the paint order.

Maglok - July 11, 2011 08:13 AM (GMT)
Hoping some dire wolves arrive in time for the players to beat them tomorrow. And otherwise, *shrug* we'll proxy in some normal wolves. :)

Antmaster - July 11, 2011 12:30 PM (GMT)
My order has arrived as well with quite a bit of lead to paint. It did include a couple of mimics (already painted - photo to follow) presumably instead of the Spiders.

Aiming to try to get the treant finished by end of July, but I still have 12 part finished Kobolds to finish first.

If you think that you should have received some Spiders, but didn't, please let me know and I'll send some right away. Sorry!

John - July 11, 2011 07:39 PM (GMT)
I think that is a reference to some unreleased large spiders rather than ordered spiders.

Jake B - July 12, 2011 03:50 AM (GMT)
I'm told my package arrived in Texas today. There should be more wilderness packs to add to this month's challenge painting,

Unfortunately I won't get to see them yet since I'm in a tent in the wilderness myself for a week.

It does seem that it passed through US customs quickly this time, so maybe our high alert delays are done.

That is good news! Not that I need my order quickly but my last order was so slowed by red tape that I could have traveled to and fro by pack mule and gotten it faster. There is an idea for a limited mini, a pack mule packing some of the larger minis and box sets as the cargo.

tecatefil - July 12, 2011 05:40 PM (GMT)
My box arrived from across the pound last night. Looks as if Richard shipped them last Monday so 1 week in the post. much MUCH better then the last shipment! Customs did not keep the box any extra time it seems.
All the mini’s are outstanding, its hard to belive but the toad's look even better then there pictures. Plus the scale of the men and elf's are perfect. :)

Finch - July 13, 2011 01:23 AM (GMT)
My order arrived this afternoon. Well worth the wait.

doomrunner72 - July 14, 2011 05:55 PM (GMT)
Still waiting for mine, I never have any luck, and they just showed up on
nobleknightgames.com for a discount. if I order from them I could have
them in 2 days. I think i will wait next time :(

Otherworld - July 14, 2011 06:56 PM (GMT)
Retailer orders were shipped out after all the individual customers, so if Noble Knight have theirs before you, I'm afraid that you've just been unlucky with the post, not much I can do about that.

Also, Noble Knight Games (and any other retailer who stocks Otherworld Miniatures) have agreed not to sell at a discount. If you take a closer look at those prices, you'll see that they are very slightly higher than the ones you have paid.

doomrunner72 - July 14, 2011 07:49 PM (GMT)
I did not mean to offend, as far a unlucky with
post. I ebay from uk to the US all the time and I live
in new england some reasons the smaller packets allways show late(maybe I need to give you a giant order)!
I ordered from Carmine dragon from fw on july 1st and it showed on the
12th go figure...
I really think its the small packets..
