Eureka Hawkmoon range additions

[swiftnick]

I noticed on another site that Eureka have released wave 2 of the 28mm Hawkmoon range.

Also the first glimmer of the 10mm range.

Finally!!!!

I've been waiting for Hawkmoon miniatures in general for like 20+ years, and thought, when the first announcements were spread, that now the good times would begin...sadly the range seems to take forever to progress!

To paraphrase Nic Robson - it depends how the initial releases sell.

Cool, I had thought that there was more to the range already. Just seem they have only released the wolf order so far.

Great stuff I must get some of these! How do they scale up with other fantasy ranges?

[commissarmoody]

Wasn't there a different version of Hawkmoon? With a plumed helmet?

What's the origin of this range?  I'm not familiar with Hawkmoon at all, although so far I like the look of these figures.

Thanks!  I've had the Elric books on my shelf for decades, but I've never read them.  I'll have to look into the Hawkmoon series, too.

All of Mike Moorcock's fantasy are great reads, be sure to read not only the Elric and Hawkmoon books, but also the Corum series and... if you can get past the non-linear nature of the Jerry Cornelius books, they're fun too. Not great literature, perhaps, but stirring fantasy nonetheless, and a strong influence on early D&D authors like Gygax, Arnesson and Kunst.

For great literature, read Moorcock's "The War Hound and the World's Pain" and "Gloriana, or the unfulfill'd queen". And there's another whose title escapes me...

I second that! The new Elric titles (Dreamthief's Daughter, Skrayling Tree, White Wolf's Son) are really excellent, too! But I'd recommend some Moorcock experience, because otherwise the multidimensional plot can be confusing. Ach! And don't forget the End of Time-series which is really funny in many respect.

In fact, the only stuff I didn't like from him was "Behold the Man" and the Erekose-series; his Martian volumes are a nice homage to Johna Carter, but not as good as the original, while Elric, Corum and Hawkmoon deserve a place in any fantasy library!

My personal favourites are the Corum series, esp the first trilogy: Knight of Swords, Queen of Swords and King of Swords.

Regarding Elric, I found Stormbringer on the shelf of my school library and really liked it (and it is the last in the basic set.) I've struggled with the first or second one now that I've gone back to try and complete the series. Hawkmoon was better.

And after his series is Count Brass. There is also Erekose (The Eternal Champion) and that more modern hero - whose name escapes me - but must be at least partial inspiration for Lucid Eye's Psychedelic range.

[Sir Barnaby Hammond-Rye]

Ulrich von Bek and Jerry Cornelius are the two other heroes. I was conflating them into a single character. I don't think I've read either.

The figures are lovely,I bought enough cavalry to do 7 bases for Basic Impetus(so 35 figures in all,5 to a base). Well worth it

[commissarmoody]

Honestly a little jealous of the horde you have Scurv. 

But I just put In a order for a few of them. Any word on when the rest of the Orders will be available?
