AvatarForm Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 The previous thread: http://www.wyrd-games.net/forum/showthread.php?p=206830#post206830 Has prompted me to post this thread to discover what YOU believe to be the coolest sculpt you know of/own... Links (CMoN, etc) and posts are most welcome, in additioon to listing the name of the sculpt and company... Quote
AntiZombie Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 So we should distinguish that this is the coolest mini not the coolest paint job. But i have to get in on this one. I love this little guy. I own him but am too intimidated to paint him yet cause i like it so much. ( admittedly probably not everyone else's style) http://www.darkswordminiatures.com/mainwebsite_html/gallery/v_7967_SnailCartographer.html Quote
Katcher Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 I like the old Rackham Wulfen.....But one thing, that came into recently is surely this : http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/27/masquesarlecchino.jpg Quote
the imp Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Studio McVey's Ruby is probably the coolest commercially available figure I know of right now. French Golden Demon winners always catch my eye though, and it would be tough to say exactly which is the coolest there. It's just something about the color pallet that they use and the technical skills that they bring. Check out the 2010 Slayer Sword winner. That said, I'm really looking forward to seeing what the Crystal Brush Awards brings out. A world-wide competition with a $10K prize has a lot of potential, in my opinion. Quote
Ratty Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Studio McVey's Ruby is probably the coolest commercially available figure I know of right now. Hey it's the Guild Rider... RAWR Quote
deadboy Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Ok, that is cool enough that I HAVE to find a use for it. Quote
PhineusPhule Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) The only miniature to make me really exclaim "WTF", Kingdom Death's "Wet Nurse". I'm really curious to see what kind of board game this develops into. I really like the grotesque more mature themed miniatures out there. Quite a few Hell Dorado minis I could add to this list as well. Edited February 23, 2011 by PhineusPhule Quote
OneInABilliam Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Katcher, I really wish that I could get that miniature for a Collodi proxy. Quote
deadboy Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Katcher, I really wish that I could get that miniature for a Collodi proxy. It's WAY too big for Collodi. But it does now occur to me that with a lot of work I could probably have bashed a Harlequin into shape as a temp proxy. Quote

( admittedly probably not everyone else's style) http://www.darkswordminiatures.com/mainwebsite_html/gallery/v_7967_SnailCartographer.html Yes. I specified coolest 'sculpt'. Only problem with McVey is that they are all Limited Release... I would never bastardise them by only painting and basing them to tabletop standard... As for the 2010 UK? GD giant, that was 99.9% sculpt... but perhaps we should keep these to commercially available in future? Quote
Katcher Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Problem - it´s propably just one sculp,propably.. :/ Quote

Katcher Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 You can see at the WIP photo at the end of the pic, that majority of the mini is cutom made from GS or another putty, so I presume, that it never got to any production, just fan made. Quote

Exactly. It was a unique sculpt done by a hobbyist for entry into Golden Demon painting and modelling competition 2010... and it won overall First Place - Slayer Sword Quote

Doctor Amos Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 I do like the snail. Dinosaur cowboys is always good, too. I need to think about which one my favorite is. I have a number of knee-jerks, but an all-time fav... it's going to be hard. Quote
ben th3 bear Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 i still love this model i think its fantastic and was fortunate enough to get one a couple of weeks ago Quote
Bioshock13 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 Awsome model. Where did you find that model Quote
deadboy Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 That's a really cool line. And if they weren't so expensive I'd say that these would make GREAT corpse/body part counters: http://enigmaminiatures.com/shop/scenic-premium-bases/bloodbath-floor-30mm-x1.html Quote
AvatarForm Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Posted March 1, 2011 i still love this model i think its fantastic and was fortunate enough to get one a couple of weeks ago Got it... a mate used to run an online store Love, Dice and Painbrushes and sourced quite a few minis for me that were not locally available. Also check out Primus Death. Quote
Megatron0 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 Epic Nemo for privateer press and my personal favourite the Dire troll mauler ( same company) The raw power in that model symbolises to me everything that table top gaming is about Quote
