Hey Deacon!

I'm doing a Dark Eldar army for epic using your Stygians as proxies for some units. Here is mt TOEG if you're interested: viewtopic.php?f=119&t=29702&start=15

I know you replied to my comment on my order that the 15mm Stygians are coming, but you didn't give a rough estimate...

I haz a sad.


They are gorgeous models.

They are coming for sure. I'm tweaking the way I package my 15mm units. They will come in full units of 10 - complete with heavy / special weapons and command. There will also be "boosters" of 5 minis of a particular type.

For example - the Sisterhood Themis squad will look like this:

And then there will also be a pack of just 5 Themis models.

I want to give the same treatment to the Stygians in 15mm so they will need some command units first - which are in the works. I will keep you posted :)

I'm not a fan of this idea. I base my units in odd numbers and this would lead to a lot of wasted figures for me.

If I had to buy 5 packets of 5 figures to get the same as we receive in a single packet now that would just be awkward.

Is the new packaging for 6mm as well, though, or just for the 15mm squads? Packs of 5 x 6mm troops would be very fiddly - I assumed the change was only for the larger scale models.

There will still be 5 mini packs.

15mm only. 6mm releases are unchanged.

Excellent :) I'm looking forward to seeing the (6mm) Stygian command figures when they're ready.

One small niggle with the 15mm stuff, and this just may be me being finicky, the bases are super thick on the models. It works on the 6mm ones because you are putting them on bases with recessed holes, but without serious amounts of cutting or filing the look huge when placed on a flat base.

Other than that, keep up the great work. In both scales :)

Thanks for the feedback - I'm actually going to change the bases. Got a lot of requests to do so.

The original idea was to make the bases big enough to just be used on their own, but it turned out to not be so popular.
