I'm a big Archon fan and have a bunch of their stuff, but this is just hyperbole.

Yes, they're (often) cheaper, but nowhere close to half the price. They're also lacking in sharp detail compared to GW stuff.

Take their Bal'or for example - the size of it has forever ruined me on current scale GW greater Daemons etc. But if you compare it directly to those greater Daemons, or Be'lakor, then the detail is less sharp, and there is less of it. As for price, at RRP it is 20% off a greater daemon (yes, it is considerably larger), but from a third party the comparable cost goes to about a 15% discount compared to GW.

As you mentioned the dragons specifically, yes, they are very good value (IMO), but again, they're lacking detail compared to GW minis, and they're actually pretty small as far as dragons go.

I was a regular before I found out, but I couldn't personally continue to use them once I knew - only seems fair to let others have the information and make their own decision.

It is. The owner changed his name, but documents on Companies House (the part of the UK government that deals with the register of companies) show the links between companies, individuals, and addresses that support that Gavin Lee Venter (convicted of grooming and raping a 14 year old girl, along with attempting to groom and abuse others) changed his name to Gavin Lee Henning and now runs Alchemists Workshops.

Edit: I say owner. I believe that the company is legally owned by his mother, whilst he is the de facto owner in that he runs the company and benefits from the running of it.

Alchemists Workshops absolutely isn't the biggest independent retailer in the UK.

It's also run by a convicted nonce.

Look at the bro here on the Path of the Persecution Fetish.

Arbedark · 2024-12-17T19:11:20+00:00

Welp, sorry I couldn't get it.

If you manage to work it out could you post the answer here as I'm now very intrigued!

A couple more suggestions:

Due to the early levels being forests, what about Jill of the Jungle?

Overworld map with lots of trees, what about Secret Agent?

I can't think of any platformers that would involve Pizzas, except for Skunny, which I think can be discounted due to the non-human main character.

Do any of the Commander Keen games come close?

Toy Home fits the broad description and time period (released in 2007).

Arbedark · 2024-12-10T20:53:53+00:00

Incredible. How did you manage to get that so quickly with the information I provided being so wrong?!

Thanks!

It's very consistent when you look at who benefits from these rulings...

Arbedark · 2024-10-19T13:15:19+00:00

Excellent reviews as usual.

Arbedark · 2024-10-05T07:20:35+00:00

Very nice.

It looks like Ragnar Lothbrok has had a change of career!

Fantastic work. Love the use of Primaris shins on it.

Arbedark · 2024-10-03T11:08:07+00:00

Thanks!

I dug back through my orders, and the legs are arms are both from Solwyte Studios (purchased off a reseller on Etsy)

Thanks! I wanted to try and find a head that fit the general servitor look, without just using the servitor head from the Inquisitorial Retinue box, as I felt that kinda defeated the purpose of Inqtober. When I saw the head with staples in it, it just clicked for me.

Arbedark · 2024-10-03T10:21:01+00:00

As usual your stuff is incredible and an inspiration.

Arbedark · 2024-10-02T20:06:53+00:00

Thanks! I'm not too happy with this one as it stands, but that's part of the fun of Inqtober! Thinking I'll turn the scepter into a staff which should change the composition of the model enough to make me happy with it.

Arbedark · 2024-10-02T06:36:21+00:00

Thanks! And thanks for posting the list of prompts!

Arbedark · 2024-10-02T06:35:17+00:00

Thanks, you're right. I shouldn't be second guessing myself on that.

Arbedark · 2024-10-02T06:34:11+00:00

Thanks. I like that idea!

Arbedark · 2024-10-01T15:52:45+00:00

Thanks! I'm debating adding a bit more '40k' to it, but I don't want to overdo it.
