Nathan Caroland Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Looks like JRN has started up his own line of miniatures (bad news monkies, bad!), 28mm to the eyes and look to be running between $8-10 a miniatures. http://www.runicminiatures.dk/ [url=http://www.runicminiatures.dk/shop/RM004/1.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 The orc is nice is a classic orc way...but the women all have way too short arms, and are too static. No thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakob Rune Nielsen Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Hi Nathan, Cheers for bringing the news forward. Getting the company in the air - well, on the web - took somewhat longer than expected... The 3 female figures (some of my very first sculpts) were shown last year, while the orc is newish - sculpted in spring. Naturally, I have read various comments about the figures around the www and while there are some obvious areas to critique on the females (the quite static poses in general and specifically the arm length on the teddy-bearing girl), I am glad that the orc has been well recieved as the old school-miniature that I wanted to create. For those interested in what is to come I can reveal as much as I have developed a passion for gnomes, goblins, gunpowder, and wigs... My daugther also wants me to do a troll, a witch, and I suspect she will soon want a whole line of princesses... Not sure I will get into princess-mode, but new interpretations of trolls, witches, and other classic fairytale creatures would be a very interesting and enjoyable direction I think. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritual Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Bring on the trolls!! Yeah, trolls are a poorly used resource in miniatures, I think. There's plenty of room for innovation there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malebolgia Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Hey, cool to see the maker on Wyrd . As I said on the Forum of Doom, I really, really like the Oldskool Orc...but the price is a bit too high for my taste. Now I don't know jack about Danish taxes, moulding cost, etc. but 8.50 euros for the orc makes it difficult to compete with companies like Wyrd, Hasslefree or Heresy.

callumrice Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 I personally like girly number 3, regardless of arm problem. She looks cool and I actually like the static pose style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincegamer Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Hi Nathan, I have developed a passion for gnomes, goblins, gunpowder, and wigs... Now I'm imagining a goblin judge in black robe and powdered wig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 I am all in favor of seeing some new Trolls! IMHO, too many companies are putting out 'sexy yet deadly' females, and not nearly enough big gribbley monsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakob Rune Nielsen Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 @ Ritual and Supervike: I'll pass on your demand for trolls to my daugther - and I will do more concepts to get cleared my 3-year-old art director. :-) @Malebolgia: Cheers for the kind word about the orc. The whole Danish tax stuff is really not worth going into. Denmark is just a damn expensive country and getting your stuff cast abroad does not help a lot. @ Vincegamer: Gobbo judge in black robe wearing a powdered wig? Well, that's actually a very acurate guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I just think that it's super there is even yet another sculptor-owned line available. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
