Hi all,
Been a while since I really sculpted something big like this, but it is finally done. The model is called "Kalath the Reaver" and is for our ShadowSea game, but could be used for a lot of other games. The armored mount, a very large pentasaurus, is about 150 mm long, and the rider is about 50mm tall, so this is a really big kit. It was a re-sculpt of something made a long time ago for Dragonblood miniatures, and I think it turned out better. I actually sculpted the pentasaurus first, the used a resin cast of that one as the base for the armored version. The unarmored one could be for sale in the future, if people are interested.
The figure is casting now, then will be shipped to Kickstarter backers who have been patiently waiting. Then it will go on sale with a pre-order. Hopefully you all like it.

Rider without wings. Just fill in the holes and he works as a lizardman commander also.

That a pretty insane "mini"... in a good way! :-*
-
That's pretty cool, andddd pretty big. Nice looking stuff though.
-
There are times when "over the top" is a good thing. This is one of them :)
-
Love it 8) 8) 8)
cheers

Cool "miniature" (20 cm big is BIG) but not really my type.
-
Well, it is to scale for a 35mm mini. It's 150 mm long, so not really 200mm. That's a pretty big round up.
-
GOD DAM! Not only are you shit hot at painting, you can sculpt like a man possessed as well?!?! :o :o :o
-
That is an amazing sculpt, very cool.
-
I remember this from way back when. Very nice update on the penty. (Should that be titany? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanoceratops)) :)
-
I have to say, after going back and looking again...I vastly prefer the rider sans wings.

Thanks! I once called it that but I figure more people will recognize the pentaceratops. Titanoceratops sounds like a little made up, like unobtainium.

That's awesome. looks like a blast to paint.
-
Very nice, I can't wait to see it with one of your stunning pj's
-
;D Stunning!
-
Very impressive.
Well done and good luck with the Kickstarter.

Quite stunning that! :o
-
Awesome sculpting! Great work!
-
Just beautiful! This is a must have for my Lizardman army. I'm wish I had known about the KS, would have totally jumped on that!
-
Very impressive indeed. Looks awesome!
cheers-

This... is... BRILLIANT!!!! Any chance you'll make the rider available separately as a foot hero/commander figure sans wings? :o

Thanks Lee! I was not really planning on making the foot version but I can look into it.

Eric,
Your body of work already has been off the charts not to put too fine a point on the matter, my young (former)apprentice. (Cue evil maniacal laughter) :D
I see potential for two conversions from this superb set already even if you don't issue a foot officer/hero version of the rider. The connection points for the rider''s wings can be covered over with a pair of MesoAmerican style back banners, while the outstanding prehistoric "tank" he's riding can take a howdah full of riders of ones choice and a suitably clad and equipped mahout to keep "Daisy" pointed and moving in the right general direction of the enemy... lol
I still have the basic components for a triceratops with howdah with a twist stashed away somewhere in our storage unit. The idea is for a the classic fantasy gaming trope of the big aggressive herbivorous dinosaur "domesticated" as a beast of war, but so "tamed" and put to use by Renaissance-style humans, so the howdah is packed with suitably clad figures armed with pikes, arquebus, etc. complete with a small swivel cannon on the howdah (perhaps two, as I still hadn't made up my mind yet as to how precisely I was going to execute the arrangement of the crew in the fighting compartment, as Games Sweatshop had gone from game company to corporate garbage in no uncertain terms, so a whole new set of suitable crew needed to be found).
I was going to add a cloth caparison for the dino sporting the heraldry of the city the dino was defending, plus suitable banners flying from the howdah, plus armor protection at least partially for the dino. Your latest creation actually has me attention, as I can see that the armor protection already sculpted on the beastie would be a great jumping off point for such a project.
Again, Eric, thus is a really impressive piece of work! I genuinely appreciate how you've been building from your knowledge of marine science to inform your creations. I'm going to have to save up my pennies and get one of these when they become available simply on principle as a centerpiece for my Bladestorm lizardmen warband.... 8)
