supervike Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Not bad figs, but I just don't think they break new ground. Stellar paint and base work though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Those weapons look like they'd be just as dangerous to the wielder as to their opponent. The paintjobs are stellar though, they have James Wappel's signature look to them. Overall... silly weapons, nice outfits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Caroland Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Is that six figures with three poses (a double of each)? Very nice job on the painting, very mucl a Wappel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

green stuff Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Is that six figures with three poses (a double of each)? Looks very much like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrix Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 You like them? I find them horrible. :ahhhhh: [rant] Silly, ugly, weapons, and static poses with arms outstretched. Are they all having trouble with their balance? What is he doing, playing ball and cup? A good paint job, technically, but the colours make everything stand out and thus gives a confusing impression. Painting all the details in contrasting colours is not a good idea. And the bases - these are supposed to be fighting minis and should not all of them be based on display bases. I suppose the playing field will be as cluttered with raised broken flagstones? [/rant] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberwocky Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 [rant] What is he doing, playing ball and cup?[/rant] Ahh...now I have to clean up my keyboard... Well played, Henrix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pr0fane Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Hmm...some pretty harsh observations there, and I guess if you take the miniatures out of context, fair enough. Yes, there are actually 3 poses there, two of each. James painted these for an upcoming box release, which will contain 5 miniatures. The female will be Special Edition and only one per box but we didn't decide that until after we saw them painted. The extravagant bases are because these are the studio paintjob. I'm not sure many people could afford to pay James to paint their meant-for-play armies. So, the display bases make sense since these are display minis. The chains are symbolic. These are elite troops that have undergone highly specialized training with these weapons. I agree that if your rank and file troops were running around with these weapons, they'd be as much a danger to themselves and friendlies as the enemy. But these are not goblin fanatics, they are elites. But as I always say, everybody has the right to their opinion and I thank you for sharing. I was actually quite impressed with how close to the concept art Werner stayed. Originally there was some deviation in the poses, but we asked him to fix them up and he did. Supervike, thanks for posting these, it's been a long time since I dropped by. Good to see that the word is being spread without me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supervike Posted May 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 @Profane....Its kind of the same phenomena when we post some of the rank and file troops from Privateer Press or Games Workshop. Taken out of context, they just don't 'pop' on their own. But, within the confines of the game, or to big fans of the gaming systems, they work fantastically. Plus, us mini lovers have been spoiled for years now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
