I'm putting together a website as I'm getting a fair few sets ready for release (all free so far). This is the framework for the site, please take a look, does it work? Can you download the free set? Cheers joseshordes.webeden.co.uk/

Hey Jose! Very nice site! Clean layout and easy to traverse. I'm assuming since it hasn't launched yet that downloads are disabled? Also, are you releasing your figs in 30mm too? (please ) Thanks man! Looking great! onemonkeybeau

A new website? No way, Jose'! (sorry, I have been dying to say that forever...) Looks great. I have it bookmarked on my phone so I have access to all of your Orkish goodness at the tip of my finger. I have to second what Onemonkeybeau said, "Please offer these in 25-30mm!" And for what its worth, I would have "Liked" this on Facebook had I not deleted my account there!

Can you download the free set? No, and this is almost the only "bug" i've found. This is the "error page" the download link produces: Other than this, the only glitch i've found is the flash slideshow in the main page. On my HD (1920*1080) monitor the buttons on the top of it are just too small to read what they do, and so tiny to be almost not clickable.

Hey JD, I'll put a link up when you're ready on the One Monk site. I couldn't get a few of the downloads to work either. If you can't get it worked out I can put it up (under your own banner) on onemonk.com.

Actually, I tried several downloads and got nothing. I went down and tried to register, and it brought me to a "Contact Us" screen.
Not really sure what is going on with it, but I know there are always issues with new sites.
Just a head's up!

THere should only be the one free set at the end so far.... I was testing a new file share, it hasn't worked The links and things aren't ready, I really just wanted to make sure the basic framework was accessible. I've got a lot more content to sort out I will release them in 30mm too The format I'm going to use is lots of images to browse and look through with a 'shop' at the end, so you would look through to see which figures you liked, then pick up a set of them. Rather than getting to see every single figure on the sheet. For example, you would look at the Orc Horde and pick up the 'Orcs with two clubs' sheet then find that it's got a range of character models you hadn't seen yet. I want it to feel more like picking up a box set in a games store. You know you've got a set of thirty orcs with two clubs, but you haven't seen them all.

I love the randomness of that. People always like surprises! Have you worked out the ability to log in, yet?

I just haven't activated it yet Waiting until I've got more content available. I'll send the site live when I've got six complete ready. Looking at the end of October as I want to get my first beastman set finished for the September horde. Next taster set is the wild orc sabre tooth riders (maybe next week). First six complete sets will be: Wild orcs with 2 clubs, wild orcs with spears and shields, Wild Orc Boar riders, Goblin hackers (machettes), Goblin Spearmen and Goblin cave lizard riders. Lots of free stuff, not even sure if any of it will be 'for sale' yet, if it is I'm going to go for a very low price, I want to refelct the fact that these are designed to be produced quickly and maintain the 'hordes' feel.

The download went fine and the member signup area worked as well! I like the preview pictures. You gotta hurry up and release the bull riders, they are super cool! ;D

Hey, Jose, I forgot to tell you I downloaded your free set last night. I was expecting... but wasn't expecting... WOW! It is nice when you get a set of figures in a download... it is another to download a whole ARMY! GOOD NEWS! Since I came up with the idea of WARDAGGER, I won't be asking you to rescale these little fellas! Instead I will be using them as is. I may be speaking too soon, but I plan to post pictures of these Orks facing Ken's Dwarves!

It was Ken's stuff that got me on this path. Made me think about vectors in a totally different way, I'm totally sold on this technique now

Great! That is always good when you find something that works well for you.
And we all benefit from it!
