I'm happy to confirm that the entire future Primeval Abyssian range will be entirely PLASTIC! Yes, proper plastic. This is in thanks to Ed Fortae's new spin-casting plastic technology which you can read about on his site here : http://trollsforge.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=notice&action=display&thread=1930&page=1
This will also mean that not only will the miniatures be at a high-quality and detail, but they will also be a very good price. I cannot confirm any prices yet, but if I had to take an estimate I'd say it would be along the lines of Mantic's plastic kits.
And that is not all!! Primeval Abyssian will only be hopefully the first of many wargame's that our company Eldritch Enterprise will be producing. Not all of them will have my input, but some of them will. I do not want to get peoples hopes up as it's still very early day's yet, but I have written a rundown of the Wargames we HOPE to produce in the future :
MANASETH : Manaseth is a joint project that has nothing to do with me, but is made between two of my closest friends who are the other 2 members of Eldritch Enterprise. Manaseth is a very original and unique Fantasy setting - and will do for fantasy what Primeval Abyssian will do for Sci-fi. From the concepts and idea's iv heard, it really sounds like the kind of thing Fantasy needs - as there are none of the cliche races you normally get. Manaseth seems to be more inspired by Chinese and japanese mythology as well as a host of other unique influences. I've been told the first four races are Fire-Giants (non-humanoid), Octopi type creatures, Djinn and a Persian human faction.
ShadowFlux : In the very early stages, I'm still developing the backround for this one - but it will be an original sci-fi game set on a large moon. The scale will be 6mm and will feature 6-7 factions. Massive scale wars. 4 Non-humanoid factions, 1 (maybe 2) human factions and 1 semi-human faction. Very futuristic and takes from all kinds of influences ranging from writers such as Olaf Stapledon and Gregg Bear to video-game influences like Fallout. Expect a few alien races in my unique style also.
Currently untitled Lovecraftian War game : It still need's a name! but this will be a True Cthulhu Mythos wargame pitting the minions of the Great Old Ones and the various Alien races against each other on strange worlds across the universe. Like Primeval Abyssian, there will NOT be any humans. The scale will be 15mm, allowing for mass armies. So if you ever wanted that Shoggoth, Flying Polyp or spawns of Azathoth army - you will be able to get it!
Currently untitled Present-day skirmish : Well, this one is going to be a small-scale skirmish and has a unique Cryptozoology inspired backround. Yes, this one does have humans in it - investigators, men in black and a host of other factions inspired by cryptozoology and other influences. At current, there will be 10 factions available. The miniatures will be very characterful and have strong personalities and backround, the scale of conflict could be likened to games like Necromunda.
This will also mean that not only will the miniatures be at a high-quality and detail, but they will also be a very good price. I cannot confirm any prices yet, but if I had to take an estimate I'd say it would be along the lines of Mantic's plastic kits.
