Hey everyone, Just a quick question... I know that preparing these Hoards take time to release (gathering the figures, laying them out, assembly and so forth, taking the pictures), but we are nearly a year behind schedule. I know that every time someone takes it over, they have something bad happen to them (perhaps it is a curse?) Seriously, though, is there going to be more releases soon? I really don't mean to sound rude, really I don't. I am just impatient, and I know there is a LOT of really good stuff in the queue... I can't wait. Thanks for your attention. David

I've got a fair amount of stuff ready for sci-fi, I'm formatting it and I'll release it ready to go rather than clutter the release schedule up. Some sci-fi orcs Battle walker Hybrid scorpion Jet bikes Probably take me a few weeks

Ok! Your work is worth the wait! ;D I just wasn't sure where this stood with the other sets. (And of course I realize that people have other things to do thant to just focus on the Hoard files).

Step 1.) Gather images Step 2.) Re-base and Re-size as needed Step 3.) Layout Step 4.) Create Cut Out Files Step 5.) Print and Build models Step 6.) Photograph models Step 7.) Edit Photograph Step 8.) Create Hoard Bundle Step 9.) Email Hoard Bundle Step 10.) Upload Hoard Bundle to site Step 11.) Edit site Step 12.) Release Hoard !!!
It takes a good amount labor to release the Hoards, and it's pretty all being done on a volunteer basis.
I'd like to get a cutting machine, and handling up to step 9, to lighten the load but, it's a couple hundred dollars worth of argument with the wife I'm not ready for at the moment. There is simply nowhere for me to hide it and still be able to use it. Since she and children won't be using it, she'd not going to approve. Also, I just bought a cache of weapons , for the impending Zombie Apocalypse, and my budget can only handle so much. Zombie killing weapons seemed like a better investment...

The effort is more than appreciated, even if we sometimes forget to say so. I used the "But, honey, it's for the business," excuse--and I found I really don't like it so she's the one who uses it for crafts projects. Love the phrase "business expense"--best invention ever.

Oh, that is exactly NOT what I wanted to happen! I wasn't trying to say that I didn't appreciate the hard work and long hours. I also understand that you have been focusing on your health, so I NEVER meant this to sound like I was complaining... just anxious excitment. I can not thank ALL of those people who not only contribute to this, but who spend thankless hours strapped to your computers going through all of these pain-staking steps. I am sure the frustration is unbearable at times. Regardless, I am TRULY thankful for your efforts. I simply just wanted to make sure the train wasn't derailed. As far as the "business" line, Glenn, I am sure Dorothy and Anjanette are NOT cut from the same cloth on that one. Yes, they do have GREAT, creative, and rather good-looking husbands, but if I were to use that line, she would say, "If it is for your business, then let the company pay for it." I can't use that line when Finger and Toe eats up what little profits I see!! Ok, sorry for yet ANOTHER thread that brings tension. I am going to go work in the yard. ...and Adam, Zombie Slaying tools are VITAL! You never know when the zombies are going to come over and.. hey, what's that noise...? I thought I heard... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

No offense taken by me at all. Just like you I'm super eager to see the hoards released. That's why I offered to help out. I just wanted to point out how much work it entails so people won't wonder why these things don't get banged lickity split.
It also doesn't help that the people most capable to do what needs to be done are now pretty much al publishers and have their own products to attend to.
