Was blue skin the choice of TAG?

Yep - no idea if it is 'accurate' or not but I think it works....

Post by: OSHIROmodels on December 14, 2020, 10:54:36 AM: It does work 8)

They're normally seen with red skin but I like the blue :)

Post by: Bravo Six on April 30, 2021, 12:38:48 PM: Does anyone have any updated info on these Oni? A quick scan over TAG's FB page seems to show they've spent the last year or so obsessing over packs of dogs, cats and rats, but nary a mention of these. I emailed them a while back, but you know how that goes. :?

Post by: manic _miner on April 30, 2021, 12:52:56 PM: They do look good.
Nice painting too Dags.

Post by: Dags on April 30, 2021, 01:05:27 PM: *think* Pete is waiting on more sculpts before releasing them. Don't quote me though.
Title: Re: TAG Oni....
Post by: Bravo Six on April 30, 2021, 03:51:32 PM: Well, a bit of good news. Pete emailed me a few moments ago and said.....

[Hi Todd,
Sorry hadn't noticed that thread, I seldom surf on LAF.

Goblins, hobgoblins and an Ogre, from our Shimmering Horde.
Nice aren't they... really these were just samples we are working-up to see if we liked them.... and we do so we've commissioned the sculptor to make 16 'goblin' warg riders in this style... and we've plan to make a whole Horde of Hobgoblin/goblins/orcs in a similar vein if the public wants them...

Expect a Kickstarter in the summer, and full release of the warg riders, before Christmas.

pete

That's good then. :D

Post by: Quendil on June 17, 2021, 09:08:07 AM: These look great and have already pledged.

Maybe the title of this should be changed to mention the lie kickstarter?

Great painting on the figures Jon.
Title: Re: [KICKSTARTER] TAG Oni.... now live
Post by: beefcake on June 18, 2021, 09:21:16 AM: Super keen and will most likely back, but how has this only got 10 backers after 3 days? Just a little confused about that.

Might also be of interest to some on the Fantasy board.Would be good to share onto that.
