I'm working on a fantasy-historical project set in the 17th century Prague during the reign of Rudolph II. Think of it as a more "historical" version of Mordheim (and maybe Malifaux), which draws most of its inspiration from Andrzej Sapkowski's hussite trilogy and Hammer's folk horror movies.
I'm planning few factions like cabbalists, alchemists, Matthias' spies (future emperor), utracvists, diabolists etc. (historical minis for this project are in other thread: https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=116677.0 )
Apart from human factions there'll be few non-human ones like werewolves, frogmen, beastmen.
Now I'd like to show you my frogmen

Great stuff,and love the idea!
-
Very cute - who makes the miniatures?
-
Thank you :).
They are from Spellcrow's Argatoria 10mm Line.
-
Very cool project. Great idea using smaller scale miniatures for diminutive frogmen.
Have you seen the game Anno Domini 1666? It is set in Vienna in 1666, but could still at a minimum provide lots of great miniatures for your project when it hits retail. It also includes fantasy elements like alchemy, etc.

-
Thank you :).
I do know AD1666, I'm waiting for my kickstarter pledge :). I cannot source minis from that game because my project is in1/72 scale :). Also my project is set in the early 17th century, which in terms of fashion differed much from the latter half.

Time for some beastmen dollies :)

Beautiful sculpting - in particular the mask and shield.
-
Thank you von Lucky, I'm trying to do my best :).
-
You are doing some cracking stuff, I can’t wait to see where it goes 8) 8) 8) :P :D

Thank you :), here's dolly of fomorian.

Very cool! I especially love the froggies, but the rat men look a close second.

-
Thank you :). Froggies are the Best :), I'm enamoured with them, can't wait to paint them :).

Wip of my centigor in 1/72 scale made out of casts of my previous sculpts.

-
Looking good - nice detail on the back paw.
-
They look great. I particularly like the werewolf. It will be good to see how the rat progresses.
I have never been scared by cultists. This one certainly looks 'armless enough.
-
Thank you von Lucky and Ethelred :), I'm praticularily proud of his hoof :). The armless cultist will have arms after he returns from the caster.
-
Another update :)

Whoah! He looks splendid! Your best yet, I reckon - which is saying something!

Small progress in sculpting rat ogre :)

Great job, am really enjoying your updates
:)
-
Thank you very much Akula :). I'm currently working on the rat ogre's face to make it look more rat-like :p.
-
W. I. P. of the face :)

Both edgy and cartoony. And hard to believe it's not 28mm.

I'm blushing :).
I'm bulking a bit my rat ogre :)
(https://i.postimg.cc/852CN0P4/IMG-20191130-015409.jpg)
-
In a meanatime I've started working on my dark Young from reaper bones. Unfortunately the cast has some serious issues with mouldlines and misalignment of moulds during casting, which will take a lot of time to resculpt parts of tentacles and body.
(https://i.postimg.cc/mBr1nX0n/IMG-20191202-001857.jpg)
-
which will take a lot of time to resculpt parts of tentacles and body.
Oooh, not good. Make sure to post a pic before it's painted so we can see the work you've done :)
-
The big rat looks tremendous - and the sheer size of the Dark Young should make it worth the effort!
-
I'll definitely post patched version of the Dark Young :).
Thank you Hobgoblin :), now I'm planning to buy Gug from Reaper, but can't find how big it is.
I've almost finished my Rat Ogre.

Oooh, not good. Make sure to post a pic before it's painted so we can see the work you've done :)
I've done that one about four times now for various customers. The tentacle mold lines are easy to remove with a hobby knife, most of the gaps on assembly are trivial to fill with putty. The leg moldlines are harder to clean, and (as you can see in his image) Reaper thought its was a good idea to stick their name and copyright right on one of the thighs - he's already puttied it over. But at $8 for a fig that barely fits on a 120mm base, it's worth the minor effort involved.

Oh it's definitely a bang for a buck. Now I'm trying to Hunt down reaper bones cthulhu :).

After a brief hiatus my Dark Young is ready for some paint :).

Oh and my XVIIth century witcher :)

So much excellence on one thread
8)
-
Thank you :). I'm planning to finish him and send him to caster and then convert the copies. In the pipeline I've got fishmen, serpentmen and cultists.
The fantasy part of my XVIIth century swashbuckling project is constantly evolving. For now I think I'll focus on the mythos part and leave the Mordheim derivatives aside.
-
Small update :)
(https://i.postimg.cc/rpz0jYdW/IMG-20200127-180807.jpg)
-
Can't wait to see more. I'm very interested in how you do snakemen.
Love that Witcher sculpt.
-
Thank you :), as for the Snakemen - I'm waiting for a package from my caster with resin copies of my dolly.
-
Another update :)
(https://i.postimg.cc/MK3P2rff/IMG-20200212-221746.jpg)
-
:o
Fantabulous!
-
Thank you :), in a week or do I'll finish him :).
-
Almost finished this one :)
(https://i.postimg.cc/dQzNphqM/IMG-20200313-011544.jpg)
-
Very nice - turning out to be nicely proportioned (I almost wrote accurate lol).
-
Whenever you post an update, I’m eager to check this thread. And then, I’m usually impressed. This is pretty awesome!
-
Thank you von Lucky :). - in a way I've tried to make him accurate.
Thank you DivisMal :), I'm flattered :), I hope I won't let you down with my next updates :).
-
Small addition to my fantasy menagerie :)
(https://i.postimg.cc/1369kdrh/IMG-20200317-154040.jpg)
And I've started painting my Yithian.
(https://i.postimg.cc/Ssm1SX07/IMG-20200317-154624.jpg)
-
Yithian ready for some proper gaming :)
(https://i.postimg.cc/JznWYGTg/IMG-20200318-095732.jpg)

That is awesome :o
-
Thank you :), next up is basilisk :).
-
W.I.P. of my basilisk :).
(https://i.postimg.cc/J05D4h1H/IMG-20200320-023540.jpg)
-
Lovely stuff! The Yithian is superb!
-
Thank you Hobgoblin :), do you still paint 20mm stuff? :)
-
Yes - though I'm on a bit of a hiatus at the moment. I picked up some 1/72 gladiators and nomads in Italy in February, but haven't done much more than wash them as yet.
My primary use for 1/72 is to have portable stuff to take on work trips and other jaunts that can be rolled into gaming weekends with some old friends. Obviously, there aren't going to be any of those for a while, so I'm concentrating mainly on 28mm for now, for games with the kids.
But I will be getting back into 1/72 before too long. It's my preferred scale for RPGs and "unit-based" skirmishes, and I have lots of cavalry that I want to get painted up for Dragon Rampant, etc.
-
I'm very much looking forward to see new 20mm stuff from you, it's very inspiring :).
-
And The basilisk is finished :).
(https://i.postimg.cc/xnNM5Ww5/IMG-20200320-205805.jpg)
-
:-*
The basilisk is my favourite so far...great work
-
Nice work on the Yithian!
-
Thank you Akula :-).
Thank you von Lucky :-).
Next time toadlings :-).
-
Small addition to my fantasy menagerie :)

Hey M.P.
What and where the fig on the left from?
Grimm
-
It's a conversion of Mars TYW mercenary:) that I've tried to make him look like the Witcher but in xviith century attire.
Wip of my toadlings :).

Yet another small update - this time wip of the Golem next to jewish rabbi :)

-
My Golem is slowly taking shape:)
(https://i.postimg.cc/VsW-VvZpq/IMG-20200412-230854.jpg)
-
Excellent stuff, I really like the 'factions' you have developed; Rabbi's - inspired! fits right in with the setting and really well executed.
-
Thank you Flinty :), next will be Doctor Faust, and the some devils :)
-
The golem is looking good, but can’t wait to see your take on Faust :)
-
Great work on the golem and rabbi - really evocative figures!
-
Thank you AKULA, I need to resupply myselfcwith brass wire, ass soon as I get some I'll start sculpting :).
Thank you HOBGOBLIN, I'm working on 3 more Jews :).
-
The Golem is ready for some paint :).
(https://i.postimg.cc/fRm4KkKF/IMG-20200414-123320.jpg)
-
Here's wip of my devil - I'm not sure If I should finish him or just send him to the caster as is and then do few minis out of him.
(https://i.postimg.cc/xfKM3zMb/IMG-20200419-025714.jpg)
-
NIce sculpting - how many versions? Devil with pitchfork, Devil with clip board, Devil playing the drums, etc?
-
Devil with a pitchfork, whip, kriegsmesser etc. I'm struggling with the temptation to add to the project the Hell as depicted by Bosch and Aligheri for some dungeoncrawl experience :).
-
Each one is getting better and better!
-
Thank you AWu :).
-
In the meanwhile I'm working on a warband of men affected by dwarfism.
(https://i.postimg.cc/Jn0bxvSc/IMG-20200420-020136.jpg)
-
I've decided not to cast the devil so I'm slowly working on him.
(https://i.postimg.cc/xfZbSpq3/IMG-20200422-120900.jpg)

The devil is ready for some paint :).

-
Looking great
:)
-
Thank :), I hope to finish them today :).
-
To me he looks like a Renaissance Clouseau!
-
Definitely he has something that makes him clouseau-like :).
-
The leader of my court dwarfs is finished :).
(https://i.postimg.cc/hvrfK3Gw/IMG-20200505-131552.jpg)
-
Wow. I just noticed this thread. What an incredible collection of varied sculpts across so many genres. Really fantastic work.
-
Thank you very much :). Right now I'm finishing the whole gang :).
-
Those dwarfs are great - and so is the devil!
-
Thank you Hobgoblin :).
-
Just caught with this!
So it is in this thread that you fully unfold your sculpting abilities! Great!
-
Thank you :), Just some of my humble work :).
Finally my gang of court dwarfs is finished :).

-
Nów they are finished :).
(https://i.postimg.cc/NB6XRMff/IMG-20200514-232522.jpg)
-
What a great project. I love projects which are slightly off the cuff and show utmost dedication by the painter/sculptor. Of course it helps that I'm very fond of 17th century gaming. :D
Out of all these sculpts for some reason the Dwarf leader has got to be my favourite. The way the detailling is done and the overall style just looks great. Of course the folk horror objective marker is a great piece in itself.
Great stuff; keep us updated!
-
Thank you :). I must say that the court dwarfs' leader is my favourite as well :).
Here's most of my minis for this project (except cthulhu mythos stuff and toadlings). I've decided I'll stick to the "historically accurate" fantastic creatures (so devils, golem, basilisk, drowned ones, stillborn ghosts etc.).

Your creations are getting better and better! Keep'em coming!
-
Thank you :), now I'm working on an egyptian ottoman warband :-).
-
Wow. I never saw this thread before and only read the last few posts. Based on that I read the whole thread. Simply blown away. The effort and quality of work is inspiring. I see some miniatures you are purchasing and some are you sculpting from scratch? or modifying/augmenting preexisting sculpts?
Great work I am in awe.
-
Thank you :). Some of them are reguarly bought minis, some of them are converted, for some I've used dollies which I sculpted.
-
Humble beginning of my ottoman-egyptian warband :).

Amazing miniature!
He reminds me of a suit of armour in Glasgow's Kelvingrove Museum - really brutal and functional-looking, especially the helmet:

Still no idea how to depict Grogu.

Still no idea how to depict Grogu.
A Caesar 1/72 goblin might be a starting point.
-
I want him to be hmm... historically accurate (at least a bit). I was thinking about searching for a genetic/metabolic disorder, which might give a similar look (for example my renaissance Chewbacca will suffer from hypertrychosis - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertrichosis).
-
A Caesar 1/72 goblin might be a starting point.
I recently got a 3d printed not-Grogu with my order from Perikles.be
It’s a 3d printer service that sells very good prints. The Grogu would also be small enough for 20mm and you could mod him with your magnificent green stuff skills.
Into what, you ask?
Well to stay tru to your setting, a race of wizards fighting oppression would ring a bell with the Jews. But you already have them and it’s impossible to model a specific kid.
That’s why I would make him a little demon child, something like Hellboy...with horns maybe. That way the inquisition would have a reason to get him.
And, thank you, yes. This is the way!
-
DivisMal
This is great idea :-*, thak you :). Small red devil with horns and hooves :). I'll scuplt him in a week or so prolly.
-
Really like the beastmen, but also really interesting to see the terrain pieces you‘ve been working upon.
Have you got an end goal in mind, or are you following your muse on this one?
:)
-
Thank you for your kind words :). I always have problem with terrain - I need to paint it :p. Another thing is I am a very slow at terrain creation, because I like to have a well researched stuff in terms of historical accuracy, so I am working now from the beginning on my n-iteration of Prague façades.
As for the goals and when do I end my projects. Minis for my prague project are finished, they just need some paintjob. The ottoman stuff is for a spin-off project set in the early XVIIth century Cairo for which I'm currently finishing warbands (Ottoman, Arab, Mameluke and Persian) and some civilians. At least I've got my terrains for Cairo ready :).
All my projects are set in the early XVIIth century so I can pretty easily justify any additions :).

Well, I'm saving some money to commission moulds for my eastern European minis (mainly polish/ruthenian/moldavian/transylvanian nobility/peasantry/burghers) and publish a narrative-driven swashbuckling game (rules are in Polish, but I'm slowly working on an abridged english version with Prague as a setting; 1-10 minis, usually 3-4, 40cmx40cm board for most of the scenarios). I'm working on this project since 2013 and probably it will take another year or so to be finished.
-
I've started working on my Cairo board, since buildings are almost ready.

Awesome! Nice conversion jobs!

Thank you :), now I'll be working on 7-10 civilian minis to populate my Cairo (based primarily on Codex Vindobonensis and Solomon Schweigger's travelogue engravings), last Mameluke, Cairo Arab and Safavid warband and than proceed to new stuff (Machete, Solomon Kane and monsters from the Ancient Egyptian mythology).
-
I am so absolutely enamored with this project. Looking forward to how the Cairo pieces come together.
-
Thank you :), I hope to use them during playtesting of your game :).

The little imp is absolutely gorgeous! Magnificent sculpting.

Nice sculpting! A RoSD setting in Prague is something hone-brew?
-
Thank you :). Yes, but my project spans more than one ruleset - historical minis are mostly for my historical swashbuckling skirmish rules and 15XX rules, and the fantasy ones are for RotSD and Frostgrave and my own fantasy ruleset.

Thanks

Ropuchons (the bigger ones) are approx. 15 mm, while liagulians (frogmen) are approx. 11mm. I think they would work.

Yes, they're great! I'm going to convert one set into conventional giants: that looks like a remarkably easy task, given the dimples either side of the eye.

Simply wonderful stuff!
What talent and imagination you have, very inspiring.

It's not that easy - I'm struggling to resculpt them. I'll probably just sculpt the nose ridge and paint the eyes rather than sculpt them.

My advantage here is that I'm going to use them as ugly hill giants - and I don't care how ugly or misshapen they end up! ;)

I ended up more or less resculpting their faces ;p.

There are some good Wendigo illustrations online, which might also be useful in getting the look.

When I make mythological beasts for this project I'm trying to stick to the contemporary depictions of any given monster.
In this case I only have got this:

-
Yeah, that's the illustration I thought you were working off, which doesn't give you a huge amount of detail! A wendigo illustration might give you some better anatomical guidelines, onto which you can sculpt the unique details of that fella. Looks very heraldic doesn't it?
-
Yes it's very heraldic. Despite my previous reservations to use wendigo depictions as a reference material - now I'm using it quite extensively :).
