Some pictures (or at least I was going to post pictures, but my computer seems to be dying... I'll try and plug the gaps tomorrow unless anybody is feeling particularly helpful and would like to post the other images!)!
Preorders are also now open in the
webstore 
You can make preorders until Wednesday night.
Also, here are some ramblings from facebook:
Here are a few more of the new releases that I'll have at salute!
First, we have Belomoch tre Hearne (quite a mouthful I know...), a particularly eccentric young engineer from Teral. Some engineers will chance upon amazingly useful or world-changing creations, like Beru with his derak. Belomoch on the other hand is still looking for such a creation and has had little impact on the world so far (aside from burning down his crèche and leaving a few craters (and his left arm) around teral).
It's probably best not to ask what he's got in his mechanical hand...
(Belomoch was designed as a thank you for my friends, Ben and Louise, so they take a lot of the blame for him!)
Belomoch is accompanied by a crossbow wielding nobleguard. At the moment these are a very rare sight, but they are becoming more fashionable among the empire's wealthy and elite! I've got a few initial casts at the moment, so let me know if you think he should join the range.
Then there is the unladen baruk. These creatures have previously only been seen laden down with heavy bags of goods, so following some encouragement on the forum I thought it was time to give one a bit of time off to graze and relax.
Finally (for the moment) we have a new pet for the nobles. Preeprees are great for the noble about court, but there are obvious hazards with taking such a valuable and fragile pet outside your mansion. The alideku are an obvious alternative choice if your noble wishes to take a stroll through the country without a retinue of vets and preepree handlers. Alideku are still entirely useless for hunting or protecting, but purebred lines are still suitably expensive to act as an indicator of ludicrous wealth.
A few alideku will be residing in this year's freebie box
The shaman was sculpted by Mark Craggs and will probably become a named character for the dhogu. He's a master at commanding beasts and his followers believe he can even control the weather.
I've also put together a unit of single piece dhogu. They aren't quite as flexible as the multipart ones, but they are a lot easier to work with! It also allows me to increase the number of models in the unit. I've taken the opportunity to sculpt extra bags and little packs onto the models so every model in the unit is unique.
Due to me being disorganised I seem to have a bit of a stock shortage on the old dhogu, so I will only have a handful of starter forces and no individual yirnak riders or bows... Sorry!
