CollectingCitadelMiniatures Yahoo Group LE Miniature for 2007 now available

[tonymans]

The CollectingCitadelMiniatures Group on Yahoo occasionally release a limited edition figure for members and the 2007 figure is now available.

It is an orc or ork mounted on a war kangaroo, sculpted by Bob Olley.  Each figure comes with a sprue of alternative arms and shields so it can be assembled as the groups traditional collectors piece with a sable brush in one hand and a palette in the other, or as a fantasy piece with shield and axe or as sci-fi with a bolter. The miniature stands 36mm high and the base is 60mm long. A big thank you to Bob Olley who has helped the group bring this project to fruition.

Pictures can be seen at:

There will be a maximum of 500 cast and each will have its number scribed in the base and come in a baggie with a special label.

So why, I hear you ask, a war kangaroo?

This figure is dedicated to Joe Thomlinson, who is not only one of the CCM Group moderators but is also the creator of the CCM wiki.  Many of you will not be aware that, at the beginning of the year, Joe had to step back from the hobby for a while as his young son was diagnosed as suffering from Autism Spectrum Disorder. The group moderators decided we would like to do something to not only recognise Joe's contribution but also to provide some form of assistance.

So a war kangaroo because Joe lives in Australia.

And all profits (about a third) of the sales will be donated to the Bialla Early Intervention Centre which provides much needed services for young children with special needs.

Normally this figure would only be available to members of the group but, as the proceeds are for charity it has been decided to make it available more widely. So now you have a chance to obtain a truly limited edition model, recognise one of the major contributors to the hobby and donate to a worthy cause.

Each figure costs GBP 10 which includes airmail postage anywhere in the world.

To order your minis, please send GBP 10 per mini wanted to paypal account "ccm.le.2007@gmail.com".  Sorry, payment by Paypal only.

 :welcome: to the forum Tony. I need to get one of those. The CCM figures have been interesting over the years. My favorite was the Meier Elf.

[Perv]

I liked the Elf but didnt buy him for the fact he is an Elf  :icon_w00t:  I got myself the Orc on war kangaroo though, u know where you stand with Orcs....damn treacherous Elfs....

I got in early and bagged LE# 5 or 6, cant remember now.  Cheers Tony  :icon_wink:

Tony is the Dwarf forging a mini ever going to be made?

[Graven Steve]

Not the one I have the Green for - response was too poor

[Custom_Hobby]

Would you be willing to post a pic of it Steve? I have never seen it.

[Bungle]

Go on Steve....

CH has a nice little collection of stuff here from you already


PS you got home quick  :icon_wink: I have only just got back from the pub.

Same here.

[Perv]

Many people have asked for this pic but Steve has yet to show any of us.  Its all a myth, there is no such figure or green, hearsay and gossip is all it is.  Time to prove me wrong Steve  :icon_w00t:  (I'm George from CCM group
in case ya wondering mate  :welcome: )

Oh and I also may be interested in funding the production of this mini if I like it and I think others will.

Shame on you George for rumourmongering - you've only ever had excellent service from me

Not really a mystery surrounding it, but it's at the mouldmakers - I'll have to claim it back next time I'm there - a visit is long overdue, as I haven't been this year.

Picture or no picture - it's a moot point, as I have no interest in releasing it at our busiest mail order time

lol I am trying different methods of getting the picture out of you, I am on to provocation now  :icon_w00t:  I swear I saw a pic of it but an actual cast one, this cant be though and I must have dreamt it.  See I'm even dreaming about this fig so u gotta let me see it  :icon_w00t: 

Yep your service has been first class mate so no doubt we will see it at some point, I'm gonna be in the Caribbean early next year and was hoping to acquire one b4 then as postage is apparently hard work over there.  Trying to get as much Dwarfage as possible b4 then.

Are you busy up to and past Xmas now?  Ebay goes really quiet towards end of January so would this be the next calmer period?  I cant see me emigrating b4 March so still a few months left but I am trying to get over there asap.

George summed up my idea on that one:

I might be interested in helping once we see a picture of it. We can always wait on the pic though.

[Perv]

still plenty of Dwarfies left to collect for me so I will focus my mind on them and not what hasnt been made yet !!!  I just want them all now  :shrug:  If me and Mike can be of any assistance in the creation of it then just let us know mate

And now there is a painting competition for the ork on kangaroo - some pretty good prizes too. Have a look at the announcement in the Competitions forum
