Title: What's this, a ranger ... ?
Post by: Khurasan Miniatures on 22 February 2014, 06:50:20 PM
I've decided to make some fantasy RPG figures in 15mm, focusing on super-detail sculpting for the player characters. I won't make a huge number but enough to cover some of the popular types.

First up, a male human ranger. Because the models spend a fair amount of time not fighting, they will generally be in less dynamic poses.  I remember as a teen gaming with a dwarf fighter, the model swinging his axe over his head, and being teased about it.  "Isn't that thing heavy?  You can put your axe down now, Thrilmi, we're just recruiting henchmen in the pub."

Here's a preview.  Tom Meier made this ranger.  A female elf magic user is in the works too.  They will be sold as a duo.

 :-* that is superb. It's about time I placed an order with you. You bring out more that make it very hard to resist. The pose is great; whenever I had miniatures in action sword swinging poses they'd instantly become target to ridicule and every arrow on the table.

Nice to see a model which isn't lunging in a sword thrust...I do wish more miniatures came in a bit of a relaxed pose.  Zombies and ghouls are fine running around like maniacs, but I don't need overly dynamic hero characters.  Nice work.

Absolutely amazing in 15mm. I feel bad for Tom Meier, having sold his soul to the devil for that sculpting ability! o_o

Your catalog was already pretty awesome when I found it and it's just getting better!

I love this sculpt. I'm really excited about this direction.

Very nice at 28mm Spectacular at 15mm I wonder if you could do 2 of each mini, one for when they are fighting, one when not in action mode.

Very nice.  I would not have guessed it was 15mm.
