Happy Skrewk Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 My favourite for a long time has been the Ninja Sniper for Infinity: http://www.infinitythegame.com/infinity/en/2011/miniatures/ninjas-2/ Fiddly little beggars the fini minis are though, worth the effort in the end and the game is great if you can get past the rule book.

captaincarrot Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 (also one of my top favorite paintjobs. Good work Marike Reimer). You stole my thunder :-D I think this is one of the best paintjobs I have ever seen.

the imp Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Andrea miniatures > Darksword I disagree on the grounds that Andrea are generally 54mm or larger, while Darksword produces 28mm figures. It's comparing apples to oranges. The degree of detail possible on a 54mm piece is much greater. That and Tom Meier is a god when it comes to sculpting in putty. His pieces for Kahrusan are the only 15mm figures that have ever really impressed me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While your point that the 28mm detail of Darksword is comparable, this thread is about the coolest sculpt. 54mm allows more detail, yes, I will afford you that concession. Andrea minis are still superior to Darksword. Even looking across the Darksword GRRM range, Andrea are still superior sculpts on average.

FrereSebastian Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I would have to say that the Reaper Mouslings have to be some of the coolest sculpts that I have seen, they're just so darn cute. Zombie Mice: http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/mousling/latest/01512 And the Hero Mice: http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/mousling/latest/10033 @imp the French GD painters have always just been astounding, I especially love how they paint metal, without using metallic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for your comment regarding French painters. Did you realise that most military modellers painted this way before the first metallic paints were released? Today's gamers use metallics and think nothing of it... then you are astounded when someone paints NMM; chrome; or 'True' metallics... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Definitely something from Smart Max. Since Doctor Zeels has already been mentioned, I'll got with Lord Holmes, the Royal Assassin, from the Club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleys_Bariman Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I've painted this model a few times and I just love it's Tzeentchian aesthetics. http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m2070095_99060201224_TzeentchChampionBook_445x319.jpg Just picked up this model from Studio McVey, gunna use it for my Arcanist Gunsmith whenever I get around to running that faction for Malifaux. Link fail. It's the Isabella miniature. It oozes style. It would be perfect with a Reese's Monkey and not the chim-chim thing that's on her shoulder. And the warm, wet, squelching of this mini makes me proud to have the mark of Nurgle: http://www.coolminiornot.com/204766 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 That reminds me of my converted Epic scale Great Unclean One. It started life as the Warmaster GUO.. it got a bit of greenstuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wodschow Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Freebooter's Miedo a Morir is a favourite of mine: But I'm a sucker for scythes.. So no wonder.. Same reason I like Enigmas The Old Death shown earlier in the thread. Would also have to mention Studio McVey again - their limited edition range is just pure brilliant.. Ruby has already been shown, so how about Ar-Fiach: Also stumbled across this gorgeous miniature just the other day - talk about a dynamic pose, huh? If anyone know any online retailers for Sphere Wars that doesn't take a billion in shipping I'd be happy to know.. And.. How about the Pulp City Superhero range? Alot of cool minis there aswell.. Kitty Chesire for instance.. The already multiple times mentioned Smog 1888.. Looking forward to some of the old Hell Dorado miniatures being rereleased, there are some really brutal ones amongst them.. Corvus Belli.. Prowler.. Such an awesome sculpt and I just can't put a finger on what exactly it is that is so great about it.. ... Better stop now.. xD Just.. One last favourite: Forsaken Contradiction from Dark Age: Several other good ones to be found from Dark Age aswell.. and while straying in the post-apocalyptic universes, Taban Miniatures - Eden line.. But like I said, better stop =x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be released in pewter as well "sometime." Hopefully "sometime" means soon(ish)...

Fun to paint, perhaps, but I would have gone with much less. One thing I love about Wyrd minis is the KISS method of stylization. This is making my head hurt with (admittedly very pretty) details. ~J~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LonelyPath Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Wow, what I'd do to get my hands on that Dorothy model! Definitely one of the best models I've ever seen. As for my favourite model(s), they might be pretty basic, but I do love 5 from the Hasslefree range that are my joint favourites. Namely the Louise, Felicity, Wolsey and Barney from their Civilians and Hamlet from the Animals range. The fact that they make up Mystery Inc, is no small coincidence heheh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
