Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

That's because there was only one small face.

Lucky I am, as I received my mithril january parcel today...order sent on 4th. I now have all dragons, Sauron and Beruthiel to paint

I just visited GF forum, it is dying ! appart from suggestions and german section...no more talks there...and only 34 votes this time...
this is worrying me and I guess I'm not the only one ?

hmmm, When I said I received Sauron, I forgot to say it was MS435 Sauron at Gorgoroth, not the new one to be release soon.

well there is a good news in this... though 29.95€ is quite expensive, as always, I had thought that the Sauron figurine price would be a lot more expensive due to its size (57mm full height)  so I'm rather happy to see it at this price...

I just hope it will carry on with Beregond vignette............

I don't think it's  disinterest so much as despair and despondency at the apparent lack of enthusiasm, progress or interest at Mithril. New releases other than those the Fellowhip has in effect commissioned and paid for are now such a rare event that there seems litle point in suggesting or discussing potential new ranges or ideas, because the consensus of opinion is that they'll never happen anyway. I certainly  find that Mithril's lack of enthusiasm has sapped my own, to the point that I haven't even suggested a Fellowship release for several months - not since Beregond, in fact.

fact is... lack of releases and two months for a single suggestion/vote result in a lack of "buzz" on the forums of course...

eventually, things could move up with releases but we never know... I am just happy to see there are forthcoming great figurines  , Sauron Saruman and Beregond are Great indeed!

(I ordereed TWO Sauron,  one of which will be the first casting)

No answer from our elf. He prefered to leave . . .

. . .no, you are NOT the only one, Master Milo. Though I completely agree with what Master Barli pointed out.
Think over what is happening with the Strawheads-release at present --- and in general!

I have bought some years ago a flock of seagulls - NO this is a band, I mean a flock of bats. 32mm. Absolutely great.
Unfortunately I can´t provide a pic at this time but I will do it later today! Therefor I am a bit disappointed about those Crebairns.
There are only two! This is the minimum to say it in plural!

(is it for sure, that Crebairns are birds, no bats . . .  ?)

Good to see, that The Man had modified Sauron´s crown. Still- do you really like this figure ?!

I like this new Sauron very much yes, even better than the preview we had last year.
Then you are right that 2 crebains is not enough, I remember having suggested also several birds on the floor with rocks around...well, il seems I will have to make a little scene . Still the pause and sculpt is very good.

I just read GF rules (http://www.mithril.ie/Fellowship/rules.html)
If I understand it right, from rule 9: The winning entry get the right to get the first casting which will be engraved with serial no. So be sure you add your wish first. (if there is any dispute in regard to this, Mithril has the final say).

So, maybe not free, but at least, you get the 1st casting with special base marking ?

You're welcome my dear Archer. BTW, even if I do not read German, I saw in your last post in german section you are mentionning M17. If needed, I have 5 M17 (4 still in blister) to trade .

Sorry I had a very busy dat at work but Milo answered for me... yes the GF original rules ensures that the suggesting winner gets a special Casting number°1

but as I do not trust them to remember ..... Each time I win I ensure they do not forget... and I order two of them (one regular for painting) and one for collecting purpose with "1" engraved below, and "casting 1" written on the blister laber (sometimes...)

it is SUPPOSED to be automatic each time you win but I prefer to remind them....
