Hello everyone!, I am currently working on setting up my own small miniatures company. I am aiming to produce my ranges both in 15mm sci fi and 28 - 30mm sci fi. I have a planned setting though if all goes well I do plan to run contests of fan artwork and produce ranges voted by the wargaming community at large.

I am aiming to create an interesting and unique range of miniatures mostly based on my in development, however also well priced to be open to all wargamers to be used in any game system they want ;). These current 3D sculpts have been done by none other than Andrea Tarabella himself and his wife Francesca Musumeci. The prints were done by Moddler.  

Without further wait here are some images of the firs two master prints, for the Coalition Wulv'man Infantry, they are 38mm in height if standing fully straight.



















I look forward to hearing your thoughts on them so far :)!.

Well I like them quite a bit. Desperate heads is always a good idea. It means if people want am alien race but less wolf a simple head swap and blam. :D

These masters are pretty good, if the quality carries over to the casts, I can't wait to see what you do in the future.  :D

And if you are taking suggestions - do some civilians Wulv'man. And what about some Lion-themed aliens? ;)

Like the Kilrathi


or the Aslan from Traveller:

Very cool. I think the first head is a bit plain, not enough definition on the eye lenses, but the other two are great!

Those bodies would work fine with a Lion head.
So many projects..... so little time.......

not enough definition on the eye lenses

I think the eyeless look might be quite sinister.
Internal sensors perhaps. Or an alien that just doesn't need eyes in the conventional sense?
Or a robot?

In that case the eye lenses need even less definition so that they aren't there :)

Really like the sculpts and the separate head idea. The ideas for additional lion heads or similar also appeals. The only thing I'm not so keen on is the name, I'm afraid  ::) (not sure if that's the right emoticon but it looked kind of like a 'sorry!' face). I don't know the background to the name so apologies if I'm talking rubbish, but Wulv'man just doesn't seem to capture the 'slickness' or stylishness of the figures, it seems too cartoony, if that makes sense?  No offence meant, just a thought!  :), the sculpts are great!

Thinking about it a bit more, Wulv'men sounds like it could be a nickname other species give them while their actual species name might be Canisians or Lupines, or so on; a bit like humans getting called apemen by other species.

(edited following autocorrect's input. Funnily enough it changes autocorrect too!)

Good Lord, yes.  Lovely.

In 28mm, you have another customer.

Separate heads?  Lion men?  Yes please.

I like those a lot; what would be needed to grab me is material they will be produced in.

Resin or metal and I would buy those.

If that material that has acquired the tag 'restic', then I would not buy.

I like them quite a bit - I think the detail good be a little bit sharper (or it's the photography).  Love the separate heads.  Always an excellent idea.  I'm not really on board with the kind of tongue-in-cheek name though (never like that kind of stuff).  I have little to no use for the minis, but I do think they're pretty damn cool.

Nice sculpts and I'd be another customer in 28mm.

For separate heads, can I suggest lizard type heads? I think they would work well with the bodies.

It is fortuitous that you are creating these now because they would work brilliantly as proxy Rebs for Mantic's Deadzone game.
