Love the Hawkmoon sculpt!!! More more more!

The sword has a built in weak point right above the hilt. That is where it will likely be snapping off. IMO but based upon problems I have had in the past.

I've often wondered why these novels weren't expanded upon. Its good to see them getting a bit of attention at last

Hawkmoon is looking good but I agree that sword id not going to last 5 minutes

Thanks for the positive feedback and criticism. As it is, a decision has been made that this figure won't be cast. I knew there were problems with it so instead of fixing them I'm going to re-sculpt the whole figure with a couple of deletions and additions (although I will probably salvage a few of the parts).

Keep 'em coming

Looking at the last picture Hawkmoon seems to have his legs too spread open, nd he also seems to have an enormous chest?!? Otherwise it looks really good

[Captain Gamma]

Is this going to be a slow burning project or is it full steam ahead? I'm really looking forward to seeing the range progress. When do you reckon it will be available?

As regards the Hawkmoon figure if you're re-sculpting it my preference would be that he didn't have his foot on anything but that's just my opinion.

I've just treated myself to the first Hawkmoon books in preparation for this great range.

I was still a novice in the hobby (well...i still am actually) in the second half of the '80 when i bought the Citadel boxed set of the Eternal champions. And i immediately took a liking for the figure of Hawkmoon and when i learned more of the story teh more i liked it. The books by Moorcock are on the top of my fantasy booklist, if and when i scrounge the money.
These miniatures you show Melnibonean are very, very nice. I will watch this closely and maybe.....just maybe.....nono i can not say more about it. However, keep up the good work. Cheers.

Greetings all and thanks again for all the positive replies.

Many of the figures, so far sculpted have been test-cast and I'll get a bunch of pics up soon. The casts may be altered before final production and some will be used for conversions.

Anyhow, here are a few new figures:

This one is a conversion of the vulture with a 2-handed sword. Note the addition to the beak.

This Pig warrior was made using a basic torso and legs for the purpose of making a few figures on the same body.
The Order of the Pig consists of poorly equipped foot sloggers - numerous and expendable! Note the binding on the fingers to make their hands look like trotters.

This one is the first Wolf warrior on foot (to get a basic style worked out). The Order of the Wolf will be on foot and mounted.

This is looking exceedingly promising indeed.
Each set of shots keeps whetting my appetite for more.
 

Each of the Orders is really starting to show its own 'personality'.
Great stuff, Melnibonean.
 

[Sir Barnaby Hammond-Rye]

Like those! 

[B. Basiliscus]

These are delightful and charming on a scale I didn't think existed!
Can't wait for a look at the flies and mantids - there's a surprising dearth of insect minis. 
I'm going to have too look into the source material! A brief skim of summary skim makes it sound great.

A few people have mentioned a Hawkmoon sculpt but I can't see it in the thread. Am I just being dumb?

Maybe just a little, but I think you can be forgiven.
