Title: The myth of the damned legion ..
Post by: Khmorg on May 29, 2020, 04:50:55 PM
I welcome you to the respected members of the forum ....

I present to your court a work on the cursed legion (lion symbol 13 of the legion)
Of course, all this looks like covid 19, but it's not covid 19 it is covid 2 millennia before the birth of Christ.
 :D

Those look pretty cool.  Will you paint them like glowing ghosts or old, sickened, undead?

Who makes these minis?  I like the ideas of skeleton ancients.

Oh cracking job! Did you sculpt these?

Also, will you be using these for Broken Legions by Osprey? I think they have a ruleset for the damned legion.

I made people for whom to execute an order cannot even be prevented by death. I planned to paint them in shabby clothes and pupils in red ....

Currently, mail is limited due to the virus. As soon as the mail starts to work, the figures will release

Yes, I am a sculptor and I sculpted it.
Unfortunately I did not read the Broken Legions by Osprey. But I think that the figures will be able to serve everywhere - where you need a damned legion. ;)
I wanted to make damaged shields for legionnaires, but I thought about it. If you copy them, then the shields will be equally damaged ... this is not good? Although there may be 3-4 damaged shields.

By the way, the symbol of the 13th legion is the lion.

You can get double use for the same shield if it is symmetrical such that you can turn the same shield upside down for another figure.  Make the damage different on top and bottom.

Warlord Games has their pack of Veteran Legionaries.  They did a nice job with the shields in this respect.

Wonderful figures, let us all know when they are available,
& how to get them.
I agree that using the shields upside down will increase the variety.

A brutal virus is a hindrance. As soon as the virus is defeated and the restrictions are removed, this project will be implemented.

I am very glad that you liked my figures.

Lion needs a bigger mane that goes back onto the body.  We should not see a neck.

The plate for text or numbers should have some knife cuts into it to make it look more ragged.  This can be done by the hobbyist, though, as part of the weathering.

A very good point, if they do become commercially available will you be selling the shields separately? They would be great for giving Roman Legions a very lived in look :)

Yes. I will redo the face. I sculpt after work and I am a little tired sometimes. During sculpting, flaws are not noticeable. If you can tell me about how else I can improve the figures - I will only be glad.

Magnificent work - great to hear this will go into production.

Will there be pre-orders? I'd be keen.

Perhaps, in the fullness of time, undead auxillia could join their legionary comrades in the ranks of the Exertius Mortuorum*.

Title: Re: The myth of the damned legion ..
Post by: ErikB on July 17, 2020, 05:46:45 PM
I love these.

You asked for some ideas so here you go.  They are meant with love and appreciation, please don't take it the wrong way.  :-)

For faces, I suggest making a very clear skull.  This guy seems to have meaty cheeks which doesn't make sense for someone partly decomposed.  It just looks off.  If we want the face to look like a zombie with some skin leftover then we can do that with paint.  We don't need "meat" provided by sculpting material.

For the lower legs, I suggest making them straight instead of bowed.

Cloth should have a few more cuts in it, especially in the main part of the cloth.  Edges can be cut with a knife by the customer if we want but getting good tears in the middle of the cloth is harder and best done in the softer epoxy.

Hunched over guys should be looking forward instead of down.  The idea is that they are exhausted but still looking with intent at cutting down the living.  Like their spirit is more motivated than their bodies are strong, if that makes sense.  Or maybe they are thinking, "I am dying and I am coming to take you with me!" as opposed to just being exhausted.  Heads down are not threatening looking.

You might want to make a perfect helmet and perfect skulls and use these sub-components on all the minis.  This way you won't have to keep making the same part each time.

I love what you are making!  I hope you consider making undead Hoplites and Conquistadors, too!

One of my all-time favorite lines are the undead Baluchis from Josef Ockman at Obelix Designs (I think that's the name).  I keep thinking of a lost group of soldiers (or natives) who discovered some kind of Water of Immortality but that water just makes them undead, not strong and healthy forever.  Your Romans look just like this!  Great job!

Thank you very much. I am very glad that you like it.

Edited orders sounds interesting. But I do not know if mail will work normally and if mail can do everything on time.
I think it’s best to wait until the master model gets to the caster.

I'm really not a fan of resin miniatures per say. I find them too brittle. That goes for the ones that claim to be "none-brittle" too :)

Having said that, it's the shields that I'm interested in and they wouldn't be a problem. I'm thinking of doing some cold weather Early Imperial Romans for Infamy! Infamy!  and the shields look just about right for my purposes :)

The legate horse in two versions. I couldn't decide to make the horse calmer or more violent (after all, the rider has a gigantic will, even if he rides a horse after death) ...
I look forward to your comments. I like the comments.

The horse should be terrified (the more action pose), but should also show signs of death.
I could believe in an undead Legate on an undead horse, not a live horse though.

Any idea of when these will be available (any/all of the range), from whom & how much?

All your figures are well-sculpted and have a nice movement.
Especially the walking, the men with the swords and the standing ones look very convincing undead.
As for he legatus, I agree with has.been, I would prefer to see him on an undead horse.
Keep up your so very original job!

Thank! I thought very hard. Yes. I will make a horse - undead. As an option.
On the one hand, a guy who can act despite the fact that he died will be able to conquer a horse. The Nazgul rode real animals.
But if you want it to be really horror - then it will be a horse - undead!
After that I will submit all of this to Raven Banner Games.

All your figures are well-sculpted and have a nice movement.
Especially the walking, the men with the swords and the standing ones look very convincing undead.
As for he legatus, I agree with has.been, I would prefer to see him on an undead horse.
Keep up your so very original job!
Many thanks!
Yes! I will make a version of the horse that forgot that she died ... but it will be very terrible !!!

Wonderful, wonderful sculpts.

An undead/skeletal horse will be great.

Looks like you have a pretty good range now - dare one hope they will be available on general release soon?

Fantastic range!  Great job!

One thing to consider is that, since Romans carry such big shields, make those heads look really, really undead, and the backs and shins look very decayed as that's what will be visible. 

Also, you might wish to consider some kind of decals that would fit on the shields. 

I love what you are doing with them!  I hope you make Greeks and Conquistadors in the future!

I want to thank everyone for their support and feedback.

We will be preparing a Kickstarter with soon. Stretch goals will include “Loyal to the End” auxiliaries, artillery and a few other characters.

What stretch goal figures would YOU like to see??

Post by: Muzfish4 on August 28, 2020, 12:45:46 AM
Great to hear.

Undead camp followers/sutler & etc would be interesting. Perhaps even carts drawn by skeletal oxen.

The proposed Auxillia and other miniatures sound great.

Decals would also be interesting.

Really, anything which compliments the theme and setting you've developed.

Very  keen to help make this range a reality.

Could I suggest you make a common parts and make them perfectly, like a few skulls, shins, feet, arms, pila, swords, and so on? 

This way, you sculpt something just a few times (one per version), you get it PERFECT, and then re-use for all the other minis you are making.

Make sense? 

I think you are doing something wonderful, here.  I am very excited about the range.

Thanks a lot for the idea.
But sculpture is my hobby. I like to sculpt. I'm interested in sculpting a lot. This increases skill. And the figures as a group represent the plot.
It is very difficult to make universal torso, arms, legs - that could fit all figures.
And there is one more unpleasant moment - something that can be glued may stop being glued.

I thought about your words for a very long time.
Thanks for your comment.
It is quite possible that in the future I will be able to make collapsible figures, parts of which can be combined.

And now!!!
I will show the shapes that I have finalized.
The legionaries received new helmets, and the legate of the horse.

Might I add, it would be interesting to have extra heads? So you could take other legionnaires, say Victrix or Warlord ones and put one of your excellent heads on there to represent the recently deceased or some such? It would also be nice in general to have some conversion material.

Just an idea though!

Wow!
So all you Roman Generals are going to need another cohort for your legion.

The Plan B cohort - win or lose, these legionnaires always bounce back.

My Undead army will be bidding for their services too  ;D

Now this is an awesome project!  I will definitely be keeping my eye open for the Kickstarter; just be sure you understand just how much work those things take!  I have backed a few Kickstarters that failed only because the tasks involved were a bit too daunting for a single hobbyist.

Thanks a lot for your comments.
I am very pleased that this project has attracted your responses.
Forgive me for the delay in answering.

I can say that it is planned to continue this project in the future. The casting results will be analyzed. I admit that some figures may be lost during casting. But I guarantee that new figures will take the place of each fallen.

Hello all!

 I just received the 'greens' from Khmorg. We plan on launching a kickstarter to support this project and I am researching more figures for the 'stretch goals.'

We are currently looking at cavalry, archers and maybe artillery. We also plan on offering the shields for sale as a separate items per your request.

Meanwhile, Khmorg continues to sculpt new and exciting figures!

Thank you for your continued support!

Hello again all!

 I have been told that you need figures that can be used for SAGA: Age of Magic and Kings of War.

I would like to see what YOU want to join the ranks of the Damned Legion. Please let us know!!

Let's keep Khmorg busy!
