Title: Famous by Our Swords minis sculpted by Talos Miniatures (Update)
Post by: Captain Harlock on November 07, 2022, 05:40:17 PM
This is a mini commissioned by the creator of the Famous by Our Swords rules. The setting is heavily influenced by Irish mythology and while personally Im more of a modeller than a gamer, I found them really interesting. The character is supposed to be more or less a Roman officer with abit of a fantasy twist. It was also required to wear a face mask helmet. He is supposed to be the leader of a mercenary band confronting his employers who need some ''encouragement'' to pay for rendered services.
I went for a pretty much historical scaled armor with pteryges but augmented with fantasy elements like a demi-thorax decorated with a Solar symbol (they are supposed to worship the Sun God), and a flamberge radiant crest. For the helmet I drew inspiration from the Roma auxiliary cavalry parade masks. Most of them appear to have a hellenistic aesthetic, so I added Alexander-like hair strands and sideburns on the helmet with laurels on top.
There are plans for the production of the miniature in the near future, so stay tuned. You can find more details about the Famous by Our Swords rules here: https://ko-fi.com/s/8f3371f9c4 and here: https://www.instagram.com/eoinmcminis/

A very cool sculpt.


In a couple of photos he does look a little off-balance, with his foot on the heads, it might just be the camera angle, or the blu-tack holding the pose. But might be worth something just checking in person?

Love it!

The severed heads beneath his foot are amazing: it's a perfect juxtaposition between 'classical' and 'barbaric'.

The Roman/ barbarian juxtaposition fits - historical Romans were no strangers to imposing barbarity on pretty well anyone who got in their way… some of the stuff they got up to, such as mass crucifixions, makes Celtic headhunting look tame in comparison.
Title: Re: Fulminator by Talos Miniatures UPDATE resin cast
Post by: Captain Harlock on December 06, 2022, 03:01:43 PM
I got the first sample of the resin casts, and I have to say that Im very happy. They turned out really good! No bent sword, practically no mold lines.

Beautiful details on those castings! It’s a cool idea for the figure, too, the Roman/ fantasy crossover.

A new entry to the Famous by our Swords range. Please welcome Cecathach.
After some talk with Eoin the creator of the FBOS rules, we pinned down the characteristics and feel for the main nemesis of the game (for now).
I then went and drew a black and white digital illustration in order to establish the character and have a road map for the sculpt.
Cecathach will be striding menacingly dragging along in his monstrous arm the broken and disemboweled body of a mercenary brave/unlucky enough to face him.
Blood and guts everywhere along with bits of broken weapons.

(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e6/44/d5/e644d5bb48f2fec554ee06b34d9d349f.jpg)

Then I proceeded sculpting the mini taking into mind the minor adjustments that had to be done in order for a drawing to become a functioning miniature.
The material is mainly Beesputty polymer clay over wire and epoxy armature. The miniature stands at 65mm (from table to crest) and its based on a 50mm scenic base.
