I love that ghost, the veil and overall aesthetic calls to mind the Neoclassical and Romantic era funerary sculpture, smooth and macabre.

Just a quick response to call your attention on this local religious tradition in Valencia, Spain, where you can find a whole ritual surrounding a lady dressed like this:



Behold her attack!

Thank you sir, very interesting.

Soul Wars and easy to fit Sequitors... per-ordered.

This looks like a great deal. Can't wait.

Now if she'd have cone-shaped ta-tas in the fashion of classic Tomb Raider, she could use those as an extra weapon.

I really have no idea what I'm doing.

I like the model but I agree that her paintjob is a little bland, well classic cartoon ghost style.
But I bet pro painters will make wonders with it! There is place for blending orgy there.

I've just watched the new How to Play vids for AoS...I admit I am more intrigued now but then I start looking at all the special rules and it turns me off again.

Check out the Myrmourn Banshees, too.

Thought this was the best place to ask this.
Who sculpted the Empire State troops from the early 90s? The metal puffy sleeves guys.
My friend said he thought it was the Perrys but they are in a different style than the figures I know they did sculpt like Brettonians and the Dogs of War various pikemen.
I'm getting ready to paint and repaint about 400 of them and was just wondering.Some of those sculpts are 20-30 years old now and man do they hold up!
Thanks,Pete

Yeah that was the Perrys.

The Dogs Of War range were somewhat more slender and leaning towards being more realistic is size and scale.... Because they sculpted them many years later, so they had no doubt evolved as sculptors! If the '4th edition' Empire range was earlier 90s.... 92? 93? I belive the Dogs of War range was later 90s... 98? 99? The '5th edition' Bretonnian range was probably somewhere in between, with the release of the 5th edition of the game. 97? 98?

Huh ok. I don't know about realistic size but the DoW were definitely  more slender. The detail on the armor, lace and ruffles is head and shoulders above anything they did in the DoW or Brett range too. I guess I'm in the minority maybe but the Perrys own figures aren't my cuppa
