I too would like some different designs but those two are still great. Look forward to being able to buy some

I want to buy these. They are great. More poses would enhance the line.

Not sure how many you want to sculpt. If you're planning to have a group of cultists, it might be good to have a bit of variety- a very short one, a fat one, one that's hunched over, a recognizably female one. More interesting for potential buyers and (almost more important) also more interesting for you to sculpt.

Personally they look a bit too similar for me, maybe turn the head on the second one so he is looking slightly to left or right. Another thing that would be cool would be cultists in animal masks maybe a horned beast for example.

Yeah, the idea is to do lots of followers in different poses. Some with staffs, books etc. I may even do some peasant hangers on, armed henchmen guards to protect the Pilgrimage and some victims of the Red death

Should I stick to the plague doctor type mask for theses cultist?

another quick photo, I've got a new camera so I will have more pics later today.

Cheers

Nice work, sir, but I do agree with previous comments that they are a little too similar.
A little variety as mentioned would increase interest.

Has Mr Fett joined the Cult yet?

Regarding masks: I'm not quite sure- on one hand that's the most unifying feature (well, if you don't count the robes that is) on the other hand some thematically fitting variations would be interesting as well. Maybe stylised animal skulls or devil/ demon faces?

anevilgiraffe · « **Reply #35 on:** May 31, 2013, 04:03:42 PM »

being contrary, I like that they are similar, the differences are very slight as you would expecting IRL when you have folks lined up a certain pose... but yep, more variety would be as equally welcome...

I'd save animal masks for another cult - have the peasants with rough cloth over their mouths and noses to help with the stink, but that should be the unifier I reckon, plague was a bad smell... have a posh accolyte with one of those oranges stuffed with cloves on a stick.

Love them, and want them all

Jevenkah · « **Reply #38 on:** June 03, 2013, 03:58:36 PM »

Love the new pose! I like the uniformity of the masks myself. I find them more menacing and other-worldly when they look so similar.

Having said that, I also like ink's suggestion of different sizes/body types if you wanted them to be unique from each other.

Looking forward to more,
Jevenkah

Mason · « **Reply #39 on:** June 03, 2013, 04:06:38 PM »

Oh, Yes!

They are really starting to come together as a proper Cult now.
The more, the merrier.
Or not....

Chico · « **Reply #40 on:** June 03, 2013, 04:55:21 PM »

Want want want! I'm not sure about changing masks completly.. but maybe a more ornate mask for the higher ranking chaps?

cianty · « **Reply #41 on:** June 03, 2013, 05:41:35 PM »

Oooh! Very cool stuff! I generally love the creepy style of plague doctors. I have already bought all plague doctor minis I could find (Foundry, Brother Vinni, LAM) and I'd buy these in a heartbeat. Would give them a good home in Gierburg.

Regarding the poses I think it depends on what you really want to do with them. If you want to have a, say, regiment of 16 minis then a uniform pose will certainly work and it will look great and creepy. It will also work if you mainly intend them to be the objective NPCs in a skirmish game. Like interupting a cult from...
Personally, I'd use them as individual figures in a small gang with each one moving independently. Therefore various poses would be nicer.

Very nice, will buy them for sure.

Regards,

I think these guys are really cool the mask are killer and I like the uniformity. Off course it would be nice with some diffrent poses but the masks and robes should stay the same to get that cult feel. Awesome work on the sculpt!

redshadows · « **Reply #44 on:** June 08, 2013, 03:07:45 PM »

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone

I'm working on another 3 at the moment, so there will be 6 cultists in total for the first release.

I've moved the arm closer to the side to stop it looking like he is hitch hiking :

Done a bit work on the back robes.

What do you think?

Thanks
George
