Wren Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I think the forest spirit guy at the top (forget his official name) is pretty cool actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewartoad Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 The tree guy I like...but the rest I will call with a "BLAH"!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I'll actually say that I was impressed enough with the forest guy in person to offer to buy him at GenCon from Weibe but Reaper already had a claim to it. That being said, if I was willing to put it into the Wyrd line, and not sound like a conceited ass (I am, but I try not to sound like it naturally!), I think it would have gone over well with this crowd. Only thing is, Reaper, being a multi-dollar company might want to invest in learning how to take a decent picture. Picture kills it, and doesn't show any details at all. Nothing to say about the rest of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I was going to say that the treeman did look the most interesting, but by the time I got to the end of the pictures, I was yawning. So what would a steampunk treeman look like anyway? (Not saying that Wyrd is wholly steampunk... but it does seem to generally lean that way).

Skya Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Yeah I remember seeing the treeman while judging at GenCon and thinking he was damned cool. However that picture just makes him look like a blob. I actually rather like number four. a kinda cool feel on the armor there. Nothing particularly inspiring about the rest of them, but they'll make good characters for rpgs given that they are well sculpted archetypical pieces.

Wren Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Ah, I didn't put together the tree figure with the one at Gen Con, but now I see it. Partly bad memory, and partly the photo not doing it justice. A pretty solid figure IIRC, so I guess he'll have a bit of a price tag. I had fun with the last treeman I painted though, so I'll probably give in to temptation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Yeah, about 45mm tall I think ... so about the size of a 25mm heroic scale hobbit. :vb_devil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sculpta the squig Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Meh to them all exept for the treethingie. Squig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 The treeman is fantastic.....and really looks better IRL....thats too bad he couldn't have become a "wyrd-o" The rest aren't too bad at all, if not just a bit on the 'we've seen these before' side. That last Viking guy I like quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 That last Viking guy I like quite a bit. He's OK, but their Sigurd viking is better: (from Reaper's painted Gallery): Now's THAT'S a viking, vike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordfishbane Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I always liked that fig, I wanted to use it in the first IP theme but no one had it in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubbdog Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Personally, I like most of these. None are of the "I have to get that!!!" variety, but that doesnt make them bleh to me. I like the crouching guy. With the right paintjob or diorama, I think he could be really cool. Treeman will be cool but expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wren Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I've always liked Sigurd. His beard is great, don't think I've ever seen a painted version of it I didn't like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Yeah, the treeman was great and this photo doesn't do it justice at all. I was all for trying to get it for wyrd as well when I saw it, but it wasn't meant to be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritual Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Now's THAT'S a viking, vike! Except that vikings didn't have horns on their helmets... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Except that vikings didn't have horns on their helmets... Well, why not? They look so much cooler that way. I'll just say it's 'artistic license'. Besides, I'm sure a horny viking is better than a hornless one. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritual Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 If you by 'cooler' mean 'like something straight out of a Wagner opera', yes! Otherwise, no! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I'm sorry Anders, usually I'm not rude about such things, but what does a Swede know about vikings anyhow? Everyone knows they come from Minnesota. And they def. have horns on thier heads. proof: Stick with something you know about.... :dong: just kidding of course!

Ritual Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Well, there is a runic stone just outside the house and there were viking graves on the school yard where I went to school... but, I stand corrected! They were probably immigrants from Minnesota... and they didn't get to keep their horned helmets when they left... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Well, at least now you are talking sense!! (BTW...I actually DID know true vikings were 'hornless'...just so you don't think I'm a complete goober) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
