The Clan of the Striding Incantation

Here a Puppet Master from the Clan of the Striding Incantation provides an entertainment for some Tsolyáni children, much to their delight!

The first "Reward" figure for our Tékumel Club program has been completed, sculpted by John Winter of TinMan Miniatures. The first of many, I hope, which will be very expensive for non-club members but very cheap for those that join. Membership - as they say - has it's privileges! ;-)

This figure will not be available for a while yet, as master and production molds have yet to be made and we are waiting on some other figures to fill the master mold with...

Speaking of which, those additional figures are a series of male and female blanks that John is also working on. Several are completed and I've slowed things down a bit (sorry) by adding even more pose variants to the mix. This was done both to fill out the Master Mold and add standing and sitting poses suitable for civilians. The intent is to have groups of civilians made for each of the distinctive regions in their regional form of dress.

One thing I always like to have in my games - if available - is "entourage", which as used by my old Architecture Profs meant to add people, cars and trees and the like to your architectural drawings. I want to be able to do a game set in a market filled with vendors and customers and passersby. :-)

New Greens started...

New Female Blanks

One of our US sculptors, John Winter, has sent an "in progress" pic of some female blanks he has been working on. Note that they are a little unfinished - patially due to being, well, unfinished - but also due to the fact that they are only blanks, and not full figures. For those of you who don't know, "blanks", "dollies" or "armatures" are what sculptors often use as a basis for future sculpts.

These will be used for the three Aridáni legions in the Tsolyáni Order of Battle:

The Aridáni Legion of Lady Mríssa;
The Legion of the Sapphire Kirtle;
The Legion of the Twelve Paths of Avánthe;

and also: to provide all female generic light infantry skirmishers.

The male blanks are to follow. When complete, the objective is to provide for the lighter Tsolyáni units, like the Legion of the Inverted Hand, the Ghatóni serving with Yán Kór, and male generic light infantry skirmishers for all nations.

Note: I am out of town and away from my computer until evening of the 7th, so if anyone is trying to reach me - apologies in advance! It's another Road trip up to North Bay Games & Hobbies! :-)
