Hell Dorado

Seems quite plain to me, but with so much clear area to paint on im sure some nice freehands on the clothing could make this model quite fun to paint.

nothing thrilling but pretty nice anyway. leaves much freedom for the painter.

I sentiment Arctica here, it would have been great to see some sort of blossom pattern on her clothing.

always sad, no matter which company goes down. Let's hope someone purchases rights to HD line. Superb line of minis, ready gaming ruleset, if the price is reasonable then perhaps HD won't disappear.

@Demi - luck? they lack proper management, not luck. how can they limit themselves to french-speakers only with their game? I suppose there are more factors involved, but this one seems the most obvious (and is most visible for us, outside the company).
Oh, and if I get it right you still have few months to buy their stuff.

I know I have some time... but now when I "discovered" dark age choosing between this and helldorado ain't so simple...

Another one down?! Jeez, you'd think they'd learn from others and the past. Sad news however!

It can't really be the fault of those talented sculptors but it seems that wherever they work the company goes bust or stops after a while.
Talk about bad luck following you around...

I think there are only a few choices:
- aim at collectors and create a little number of nice miniatures with no real gaming purpose. don't expect to get rich though.
- aim at gamers, learn to please the crowd instead of following your creative imagination, expand, release many models - quantity over quality. seems to be more profitable
- something in between, hard to find the right balance.

that's what I think but as always I can be wrong as it's probably less than obvious...
