thetang22 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Here is the first new model released under the Rackham Legends line: http://www.rackham.fr/newsletter/cry_online/img82/BELIAL2.jpg It is going to be a limited Resin release of 600, and eventually they will release a PPP version using the same sculpt. It is a large size figure, standing about 2x the height of a regular mini supposedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duende Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Personally, I think it looks awkward and disproportionate. Crazy amount of detail, but that's Rackham for you. I liket he head and the scythe, but the body just looks "wrong" to me somehow... don't like the tail between the legs either, just throws the balance off to me. Just my opinion, it could be someone else's cup o' tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderhawkerMinis Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 It may be the camera angle butI have to agree with Duende. His stance looks very unnatural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetang22 Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) It may be the camera angle butI have to agree with Duende. His stance looks very unnatural. Thats pretty much what I thought when I saw it. I recognize that there is a large amount of detail, which is a step back in the right direction for Rackham from the detail-lacking PPP they've been putting out over the past 1/2 year. However, I don't really like the mini that much myself. I saw some people on Rackham's forum seem like they had an orgasm over the model, and its probably for no other reason than the large amount of detail in it that we have been depraved of for so long now from Rackham. Lots of people saying they are DEFINITELY picking one of these gems up - but again, I recognize the level of detail, but I still don't really care for the model itself that much. *** I have to admit though, I DO like seeing the high quality previews from Rackham again - the last 1/2 year - 1 year have been so boring there waiting for something interesting to come out...

lauth81 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I kind of like the idea sculpting the blade of the scythe like a bat's wing. The stance seems off and the tail looks awkward. I like the head probably most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewartoad Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 This has been in the making for the past 5 years...Awesome sculpt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehard Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I kind of like it. Not enough to buy a limited edition resin version, but maybe enough to buy a ppp version and then repaint it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 This has been in the making for the past 5 years...Awesome sculpt! Five years and they make a creature whose most massive body part is the neck? I was at work when I wrote my first post so I couldn't look at it for very long so that post was my first impression. The more I look at it now, the more I find I don't like: • Forearms and hands oversized • Neck looks "lumpy" and even bigger than the torso • Large tail coming through the legs throws pose off balance • Feet don't sit evenly on the ground (small thing I know, but you'd think for their official photo they could make it even) • Hard to see but creature hardly has any abdominal area or groin, bad pelvic area. (Could be just the angle) But there are some pros too: • Good head and horns • Ooodles of detail work to keep it interesting • Great scythe • Good size (I like bigger minis Don't strain my eyes as much) Well, it's certainly eye-catching, but I don't think I'd get it. :goodbad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonherald Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 My problem is I'm a sucker for anything with a Horny head... I basically don't collect much myself these days mainly painting for selling.. but the pieces I keep for me are Minotaurs....btw anyone know of the whereabouts of an ilyad minotaur shout me please) The way I'm llooking at this guy is outside the realms of normal anatomy.. Daemonic.. bare muscle parts swollen and distended bits with what appears to be teeth here and there as well as the pox ridden look to the horns etc....I don't think it's perfect but I think painted up may shed a different light on it..... More angles would clarify a bit more and position of tail etc is a simple fix....I see potential ...honestly I do.... really...I swear......

demonherald Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 in fact looking really closely .. (and I may be going mad through a mixture of nausea pain drugs and tiredness) he appears to be pretty much made up of varying bodies.....

thetang22 Posted April 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Some people were asking for other angles. Here are the other pics that Rackham released with the other one shown: http://www.rackham.fr/newsletter/cry_online/img82/Belial_v2.13.jpg http://www.rackham.fr/newsletter/cry_online/img82/Belial_v2.8.jpg http://www.rackham.fr/newsletter/cry_online/img82/Belial_v2.17.jpg and again, the link to the original: http://www.rackham.fr/newsletter/cry_online/img82/BELIAL2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritual Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I know where one is.... but you can't have him! He's mine, baby, mine. :D Ditto! :approve: I don't like this new mini, though. It doesn't seem that well sculpted and all the details make me think they're there just to cover up the fact that it is not well sculpted. @Thryth Yes, there seems to be some changes in detail. Another scythe blade, for instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
