Sorry to disappoint chaps, but the set is already laid out and locked down. If we have a November Hoard, however...

Hey Adam-glad you like the sets! I have been producing the sets with one or two survivors and more zombies (and boss) to reflect the massing ranks of the undead, with the humans very much in the minority. They are kinda themed to suit the different types of survivor (civilian, military etc) with the next few sets continuing along these lines, but I am planning on some army builder sets in the future. I will certainly be looking at survivor sets too-4/5 figs with the bloody and zombie variants as previously! I also plan on getting the Occult Terrors sets up and running too-hopefully sooner rather than later!-that will fill out the survivor ranks a little too. Set three is nearly finished, so stay tuned!

Here's the October 2009 entry, Gunnar the Butcher: Now that October 2008 set cheerleader REALLY has something to worry about...

I must say I like the look of that! I have a bunch of sets in the pipeline at the moment, but I will maybe keep it in mind for upcoming Hoards...

Thanks squirmydad! I will forward the links to bride of darkmook! Here's the Leeds Roller Doll site with a little derby action: www.leedsrollerdolls.co.uk/They're still a relatively new team, but are pretty strong competitors! And thanks for giving me a gentle reminder-these figs have been sitting unattended for a while now so I'll see if I can get moving on 'em!

Hey thanks all! Glad you like them-I think that with the more minis I produce, the more comfortable I am becoming with my way of working. Now if I could just get a little quicker... I was thinking of putting together an army builder set with a bunch of zombies as you suggested abaddon, and am playing around with another 'foot soldier' generic body at the moment to mix in with the old one. I will have a chat re: robo cutter stuff once I have some things together! I was also thinking of some 'objective' characters-scientist, immune child etc, but they may take a while to get out as the list of figs awaiting production is getting longer and longer... And agelessone-if I get the chance i will see if I can get some modded zombies finished up for the Hoard this month!

Hey folks! Ok, I was planning on putting out the Vamp/Werewolf set next, but kinda got waylaid by these guys. I had been thinking about this set since I put out the first one, and really wanted to get it finished. The Vamp/Werewolf set is still in the pipeline, so worry not fang fans! Set 3-Prison Break is kind of an 'army builder' for zombie fans, and consists of 6x Zombie Inmates, 1x Inmate Zero, the source of the prison contagion, Donnie, inmate survivor ('Clean', 'Bloody' and 'Zombie'), and Officer Rhames('Clean', 'Bloody' and 'Zombie'), sole SHPD survivor of the prison outbreak. No boss in this one, but I thought that the number of minis makes up for it! DonnieOfficer Rhames (Bloody)Inmate ZeroZombie InmatesI have the scaling, layout and test building to do, but these bad boys should be available by Halloween! Apologies for the monster post, too!

Hey tugunmojo-you are in luck! I got started on the werewolf set but got a little sidetracked with some other designs I had kicking around, so expect some more z's at the end of the month ...

Cheers guys-glad it's not just me wanting these!
The girls will be loosely based on the real Roller Dolls team that my wife is in, as will the refs etc.
I have no plans for a game for these gals, but that may not be a bad idea-I have been toying with some ideas for the other zombie figs so...

(Ok, I wrote this once and it sounded great, but I was timed out so no promises on the quality of this version...) I am planning on running some side projects alongside my scheduled(ish) set releases, the first of which will feature the mighty Leeds Roller Dolls and their away team, the Rotten Rollers, along with numerous other roller derby related characters. The sets will be 10 figures, two unique and 8 based on a standard template with different weapons etc-kinda 'quick and nasty', but should look good. You'll get what I mean when you see the finished product. This should keep them fairly quick to produce... I will also be adding one off characters to the Hoard now and again! I realise the world of roller derby is a little... specialised, but who wouldn't want hot chicks in skates with tattoos and roller zombies tearing around the zombie apocalypse? Anyhoo, here is a quick sketch of one of the unique characters, an LRD Jammer: More images coming soon! A

Ah! Thanks Rhannon-that fig was actually called Ali (Mina 2)-sorry for the confusion! But again, watch this space!

Hey Rhannon! Glad you like my figs-worry not, most if not all those designs will be out (some in slightly modified forms!) in future sets. I have already released Mina in the free monthly figure Hoard, but a re-colour (along with a bunch of other figs) is available in a free set from RPG Now : www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=63534Check it out! Cheers, A

Hi Beau, My bad-I think the pdf was scaled to UK sizing which I guess can be a bit of a problem with some printers! I know it may not really help, but if you run it through photoshop or Gimp you will be able to trim off the white (or seperate out the bases) and the figs should fit. Apologies again dude-the latest sets will be at the correct scaling. A

Thanks again guys! I am finishing up the second Survival Horror set this week, so should be getting cracking on the next release once it's done. I will let you know which set I go for soon!

Hey clig76-thanks and glad you like them! I don't have any particular game system in mind-I hope that they can be used with any horror/zombie games. I have picked up a copy of Fear and Faith, so have kinda been loosely using the 'army lists' from that when thinking about what figs to put in the sets.

hey all! Thanks for the positive response folks! It may sound weird, but zombies are kinda my comfort zone these days so it's nice to know the other stuff is working too!
I will see what I can do re the suggested Demons abaddon-I like the idea, and I was hoping to get a Hoard entry in this month...
And kane-that is just what bride of darkmook was thinking! In the unpublished roughs I had him vaulting a stone wall and she pointed out that a headstone would be the more obvious choice. Great minds think alike!

Not only did I have a fantastic holiday and celebrate our first wedding anniversary, I got cracking with some ideas for the third Survival Horror set-this time taking a brief break from the zombie apocalypse, concentrating on the Occult Terrors line. Here are some of the sketches I produced whilst away: Resurrection Demon-child demon necromancer Ripper Demons-Resurrection Demon Flesh Constructs Professor Smith-occult investigator Wizard for HireMy idea is that the Occult Investigators can be used as both heroes or villains, depending on the needs of the player. I have been working on a Vampire vs Werewolf set under the Occult Terrors banner too: Vampire SireVampire PackWerewolf LeaderWolf packApologies for the monster post-hope you like the ideas!

Hey folks! Just back from my anniversary vacation-veeeeeery relaxing. We had much fun! Taking me a while to catch back up after no internet for a week! Welcome to the forum spoonete-glad you like the minis! In answer to your question I use photoshop for the colouring after scanning and tweeking the final inks. Not come across Full Throttle, but glad you like him djlittle! Hoping to get the set finished up this week, so fingers crossed!

Cheers spacejacker! At last, the final piece of the puzzle... Big Al:The boss is finished! I don't know what it is with these boss figs, but the colouring just kills me! Now for scaling, bloodying, outlining and layout...so much to do, so little time!
