I don't have the Barbarian Pack but I do have the Elf Quest Pack, Wizards of Morcar and the Ogre Horde, so I am focused on reproducing all of them in the near future. However, since the RTV to make the molds is expensive :cry:. I am trying to sell individual figures to reduce the production cost.

My casting copies are bubble-less and high accurate without missing parts whatsoever.

I painted the Eleven Warrior black cause when unpainted the details are hard to see.

Ever thought of just doing the bases?
I'd be in the market for those.

You mean the figures of the main game?
If yes, then those miniatures can be found on ebay in a reasonable price.

No, just the bases that the minis are stood on from the main game.
So that people could put any miniatures on a Heroquest style base.

I'm pretty sure it's Seb from Australia. Can't find the topic right now.

I saw those and decided they were a little out of my price range to the UK.

I'm sensing a lot of activity on this topic shortly. I just saw billdask's recasts in person.
They are not just perfect copies. They are THE SAME!!! I saw an ogre and there is no way of telling the difference.
If I sprayed them the same colour, no one could clarify which is the original and which the copy.
I'm telling you, prepare to be blown away. I know I was.
