Very, very nice indeed. I really like the look of the Lucid Eye range.
-
:o
They look wonderful, sir.
Wonderful brushwork.
:-* :-*
I think they should prove pretty popular.

Very nice painting! I really like the warpaint.
I have a question.Are the simians more chimpanzee size or gorilla or what?
Thanks,Pete
-
Superb.
I have mine in the painting queue right now 8)
They are chimp sized. Kind of 20mm high next to a 28mm human figure. Beautifully done, and a second pack in the works...

Has North Star stopped selling the Lucid Eye range??
-
Yes. AFAIK, Steve Saleh no longer works for North Star. Lucid Eye is his own range which is sold through Arcane Scenery and Models, who, might I add, have a great website, and very fast shipping, post free in the UK. Not much help to you in Denmark Niels, but very impressive service to get in the UK :)

Second that, ordered some LE stuff lunchtime Tuesday, arrived Wednesday AM.
Figures are superb and cleanly cast too.
Superb paint work EO.

These are brill - just ordered the simian set and 2 x the alpha (I'll make a shaman type from one).
I'm hoping they'll do double duty as giant apes in 15mm then chimps in 28mm. They can fight my foundry Pygmies or my Copplestone Picts.
Mega.

Beautiful paintwork einarolafson, as usual! Nice to see you back at it! :D
-
Those look amazing! :o Both the brushwork and the sculpts!
-
Thank you very much for your very kind words. As others have said before, they are being sold by Arcane Scenery and Models, and as far as I know (and others can tell) they offer a very good service.

Thanks Earther, I wish I could paint more things in my spare time (apart from painting during the whole day!!) :) ;D
Here are some more pictures.

Beautiful, great work all round

Very effective 'dark-lining' round that face, and, of course, great painting all around!

Gotcha, thanks! Was actually able to google up ASaM with some effort after posting my question, but it got late, and I forgot to come back. :)

Another very beautiful paintjob einarolafson.
Must admit, much as I like what the sculptor is doing with this range overall, the Atlanteans don't grab me. Apart from the shield, they are basically Romano-Greeks with a dash of Trijan Empire thrown in. The Neanderthals, Simians and Amazons all seem very originally designed, brilliantly executed figures. Whereas unfortunately, the Atlanteans look like a lot of other figures I've seen before. But I guess he's trying to create a whole new universe with a lot of different groupings, so fair play to him.
Very nice painting though :)
-
Excellent bunch. Those simians are a must have.
-
Agreed, these simians are excellent minis ... and very well painted BTW.
-
where did you get these from cant find them anywhere??
-
Lovely pj's on all! :-* :-* :-* The chimps are my fav though!

Thanks!! As we talk I'm working on another group of miniatures, so I'll post some more stuff soon.

Thanks Captain Blood, I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with your cavemen and simians!!
You are right indeed, they have that historical feeling, and I think Steve loves so much Greek, Macedonian and Hellenistic history in general that he gave them that look (we all have seen the huge quantity of that kind of historical miniatures made by him for Foundry, Gripping Beast, Artizan/Gorgon, Northstar, his very own Lucid Eye). But as you said, it might work in that universe he is trying to recreate, maybe when he release a bit more of information about the Savage Core project it'll make more sense.

Thanks for the link, you where faster than me :) :D

I agree about the Atlanteans. They just don't grab me. I assume they are meant to be the remnant of some ancient civilisation, to me they are just a bit too, erm, straight. I sort of expected a bit more of a fantasy element creeping in to their design; enclosed helmet, heavy armour, battle hardened. Kind of like an ancient version of medieval Knights. In my head,at least, they'd be the force all the other factions try to avoid getting into contact with..
Anyway, as already mentioned, none of my rambling detracts from the superb paintwork. :D
-
Great job on the Alantean, I like the "oceanic" colours.
I have always thought that Atlanteans would have a Greco/Roman look about them myself.
-
Excellent work on those figures :-* :-* :-*
I would add my voice to the multitude about the Atlantean figure, let's hope some more characterful ones come out that give them a distinct flair.
cheers

The idea of Simians and cro Magnons fighting these guys seems a bit out of balance ;)
I guess sales will validate the Atlanteans, however. They still might be good villains for fantasy Barbarian games, Lunars, etc, so more power to Lucid Eye. I personally would rather see more cave men or Tarzan villain types. We could use another pack of Neanderthals for variety...

I'd agree with the others on the Atlantean, unfortunately I'm not buying in to it in the given context. The other figures look great though.

Thanks.
And this is another Simian Leader, this time a white one for my Ghost Tribe.

Brilliant idea, like him a lot.

Brilliant.
I am so going to steal that idea :)
-
Dammit, I need to make a Pulp Alley League of these to use as Lost World adversaries :-*
-
Excellent paint job!
-
Beautiful paintwork, lovely miniatures. I need to get these Simians.
-
Thanks!! Here is another picture of him, the first of more simians!!

lol :), that's ok I'm not the first one to paint a white ape.
Cheers.
-
That is great!
-
Beautiful paintwork. I like that Atlantans leader especially. The simian leader looks like Caesar from the planet of the apes reboots. His face bears an uncanny resemblance, as does the posture.
