Nathan Caroland Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 New Ilyad miniature in the works - like it. Alright Edgar - think we're going to have to get something setup with a mohawk, this is two miniatures now that I've seen and I really like the hair idea. http://www.chroniqueslunenoire.com/article-1357289.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pr0fane Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Good grief...those axes rival my Dragyri Blizzard's! I'm with you on those Mohawks, FF. As long as they're not on vertically challenged suicidal types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted December 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Heh, I had to read that twice before I figured out what you were talking about Pr0fane. Yeah, the weapons are a bit over the top but still damn nifty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritual Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 DAMN, that new barbarian line from Ilyad is smashing!!! :hail: I need to have this one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdukino Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Man to many figs from Ilyad I like, this being no exception (in fact it's one of the nicer ones)... but they are damn pricey and I prefer metal over resin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic Lilly Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 I think if he had ONE axe it would look alright, perhaps if he had it in a two handed grip. Two axes that size though just look silly. Love the hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeadAsbestos Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 This one and the female are excellent. What is the price range? And is resin any different to paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matakishi Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 They're expensive, £6 or £7 per human figure, sometimes more. The resin paints easily though and allows for very thin weapon blades and excellent detail. My 'giant babies' are from Illyad, sadly I've taken the photo too close and so it just shows my bad painting rather than the greatness of the figures. You'll have to take my word for it that they're detailed There's one here, taken from further away..... Giant Baby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeadAsbestos Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Too much $$! My recent interest in historicals has made me Cheap! If I can get 8 Artizan Paratroopers for the price of 1 barbarian, ...well, you know the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 the axe in his right hand looks bend where he's holding it lol, that's the first thing I noticed. He's pretty cool if you're into big barbarian men types...which I'm not! :vb_tongue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Yah - make mine big barbarian wimmins types. :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacemunkie Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 He's almost excellent, but there's a few things that annoy me. The axes aren't great, and why do barbarians sport such finely wrought filligree on their armour?? Too fancy for this brute if you ask me. Why do sculptors feel the need to cover EVERY surface of a mini in elaborate detail? This one would definitely have been far superior with less 'bling'. Bloody filligree. Should be banned on minis. Pointless detail that just spoils what would have been nice areas to paint. File it off!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pr0fane Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 You know...if they make a few more like this (and sans filigree) this would make fantastic conversion material for a Necromunda Goliath gang...a little more feral than the juiced-up pansy boys they are now.

Frenchkid Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Mini looks great, but gota agree with spacemunkie on the fligrees, damn anoying. As for resin, it paints the same as metal, but is easier to clean up, and to convert, nd a lot smoother. But some people (including me) actually like the minis to be slightly rougth. Realy smooth minis are pain to paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritual Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 I actually like filigree.... :tongue2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 ... and why do barbarians sport such finely wrought filligree on their armour?? Too fancy for this brute if you ask me. But he's the barbarian CHAMPION, which means he looted the armor from the paladin he probably just beat the crap out of. Hence the fancy filligree. Personally, I like him, just not those earring-looking things, they don't go with his outfit. :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
