cdukino Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I know we probably are all preoccupied with the competition, but still..found the following miniatures on the site today. Quite supricing so soon after the previous batch. Quite Werner heavy lot... not that I mind Werner Klocke Callindra Stormspell (Dark Heaven): Dennis Mize Fighter (Dark Heaven): Werner Klocke Hellakin, Halfling Assassin (Dark Heaven): Werner Klocke Succubus (Dark Heaven): The first is oke, but not very very origional. Well nor is the succubus, but I do like her. Probably will get her somewhere in the future eventhought she looks a bit to muscular (broad chest... no not talking about the boobies which looks lightly silicon-filled). Not sure about any of the others. Werner still seems to have that reaper, figs looking downwards thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I like this succubus a lot more than the one he did for his own Freebooter line I have to admit. The halfling assassin I'll just have to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritual Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I like the halfling and the succubus quite a bit. The first Werner sculpt is ok, but not more and the fighter is just boooring. I really hate that pose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gi6ers Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 can anyone post the freebooter succubus next to the reaper one please (I'm too dumb to figure out how :tongue2: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Like this? :thumb: I kinda like the Reaper one better. Better posed and better hair. And two horns ( I think the other looks silly with only one.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritual Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 The Reaper one is likely going to be a lot cheaper too! :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 @ Ritual - I only just thought of that! And my LGS will carry it, unlike the FB that I'd have to pay for shipping along with the inflated price! How long for greens to hit stores? :tongue2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long for greens to hit stores? :tongue2: Reaper greens can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months to hit the stores. It really depends on where it is in the production cycle when they get around to posting it. Maya~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 the halfling assassin is by far the best of this lot and a miniature that I may even want to paint (except for that damn base). As for the fighter, I think Werners "looking down" head possition is getting a bit old for me now, it sort of looks like she fell asleep on the couch in a funny possition and has a stiff neck now. I like his freebooter succubus far better actually as I very much dislike those wings that look stuck striaght to her hair, also I think he's left her crotch as a difficult painting point...naked, hairless, but no details...what's a painter to do! Also his freebooter one isn't looking down, which is nice. The mize fighter is boring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also his freebooter one isn't looking down, which is nice. Yes, the wings' joints don't look good, but it will be quite easy to sculpt some extra hair that falls around the joints. I think the crotch looks fine. I don't like blatantly exposed genitaliae on minis (in fact even less so with female sculpts than on male ones).

gi6ers Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Thanks Duende! hmmm, I'd have to agree that the reaper version is better posed. But I've seen a painted version of the freebooter one and it looked amazing.... I'll vote with my wallet when they come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like blatantly exposed genitaliae on minis (in fact even less so with female sculpts than on male ones). yeah, me either, I'd have liked her to have a little something on, or hair sculpted there, or something, but it sort of just looks unfinished to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green stuff Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Hasn't anybody noticed how her wings are coming out of her attached hair ??? It really looks like Werner did a wingless succubus and Reaper said at the last minute : "Hey it'd be cool if she had bat wings and all ..."

pae Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Hasn't anybody noticed how her wings are coming out of her attached hair ??? It really looks like Werner did a wingless succubus and Reaper said at the last minute : "Hey it'd be cool if she had bat wings and all ..."I made that very comment about the succubus on the Reaper forums. I think she'd make a pretty nice female satyr, but the wings just kind of ruin it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumb Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Werner is just a friggin genious.... love that halfling assassin!! The Sucubbus is hot too...and I promised not to buy any more minis for the next six months....damn it.... :disappoin grumb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 @ Grumb - Let me guess... you're supposed to paint some of the ones from the stack of minis you already have before you buy more, right? :crap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic Lilly Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Halfing is just great! Don't like any of the others, even the sucubus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 How long for greens to hit stores? :tongue2: When I was out at Reaper last weekend I got to fondle, er examine, the succubus and mermaid master castings. They are completely awesome. Anne told us that the succubus should be available around July or so. I reckon both of these should be out before GenCon.
