Title: Terramortis, new range previews.
Post by: Andrew May on April 21, 2015, 02:41:21 PM: Hi everyone.
Some of you will already know my Steam & Aether and Tooth & Sword ranges but today I'd like to share the first previews of the latest project that I have been working on.
(https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/p720x720/10923336_695503457244949_5462259437902032904_n.jpg?oh=f50cc7c3d794ca441cda9ab1af491071&oe=559DC992&__gda__=1436393333_c4300c0190261f366af400bbfc3ba797)

"Terramortis" is a heroic scaled apocalyptic scifi range that I have been working on for the last few months, the planning started almost exactly a year from now! I will have a selection of WIP sculpts to show off at Salute 2015, find me at stand TE20.

If you're interested, there are more pictures on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Meridian-Miniatures/278329682295664

I'll be back to post more previews of my other ranges before the weekend.

Cheers
Andrew

Great stuff here.

Post by: Elbows on April 22, 2015, 12:51:19 PM: The sculpting looks top notch, but far too familiar for my tastes.

Now, for some notNecromunda...just about perfect I suppose.

Post by: Major_Gilbear on April 24, 2015, 09:03:49 AM: ...I actually hope that you make a pack of the just the heads separately (like Statuesque do), because they are rather good, and I have a lot of so-so models that would greatly benefit from your efforts there! ;)

Post by: Andrew May on April 24, 2015, 07:58:35 PM: I'm sure something could be arranged.

Me.

Given what I have from Andrew I expect these to be technically great. Unfortunately they are not even close to being my cuppa and definitely no banana.

Nice work Andrew.

Post by: Achilles on April 26, 2015, 12:43:07 PM: Very cool concepts! I'm following the Facebook pages now to see updates. :)
Title: Re: Terramortis, new range previews.
Post by: Inso on April 26, 2015, 05:05:40 PM: Wolf-scouts and Warzone are the first thoughts that came to mind when I saw these.

The sculpting is very good but some of the proportions are a little iffy... the shoulders/arms/necks look a bit off. They'd probably look better if the heads were fitted a bit lower in the collars.

Not bad but not that different either... you could probably achieve something similar with a box of plastic scouts, some Chaos knights and some Space Wolf sprues.

Post by: Duke Donald on April 26, 2015, 05:43:40 PM: The sculpting on these is spectacularly good, but they are too derivative and nostalgic for me.
Title: Re: Terramortis, new range previews.
Post by: Andrew May on April 26, 2015, 08:36:52 PM: Thanks for the honest opinions on these. I may experiment with the "depth" of the heads. Nice to meet a couple of you this weekend :)

Are you planning on going the Kickstarter route with these?

Sorry I missed your question. Yes, I will need to go to KS for this project. I've invested a lot of time and effort in this range already and will need assistance in getting it off if the ground properly. I do have a solid record in running KS projects however, there has never been a major delay or problem with one of my campaigns. I run realistic projects to raise the needed cash to bring an idea to life, I'm not after 100K's off of the back of a few drawings and shakey promises! lol

Post by: Major_Gilbear on June 11, 2015, 12:33:32 PM: Proportions-wise and style-wise, I think you can probably guess what I'm going to say...

Otherwise, I think he looks excellent! Very crisp and looks fun to paint up. 8)
