Statuesque Fantasy Adventurers Pre-Order!

[Andrew Rae]

Thanks folks.

They just have the perfect balance between nostalgia and contemporary quality... can't wait for them to arrive now!

That's what I was aiming for so I'm pleased it seems to have come off.

Also pre-ordered. Now I just need to find an adventure/skirmish game to use them in. Or they might become Talisman characters!

I'm going to be using Pulp Alley. It's not fantasy but it definitely is adventure and it's all round awesome and doesn't actually need adapting to different genre. The Brawling rules in PA were what first grabbed me - they give a great swashbuckling feel and let me imagine the to and fro of a sword fight, rather than just rolling to hit/roll to wound. Perfect for fantasy. I need to write up my league list for these four...

@Clam and THE CID: Halflings planned. In fact, one halfling is under way, being worked on alongside bigger figures (since they're wee I don't find them distracting).

Dare one might say.... the halfling is half done   

[Admiral Benbow]

Just pre-ordered. These are the first fantasy miniatures I've bought at full price, upon release, for around ten years. They just have the perfect balance between nostalgia and contemporary quality... can't wait for them to arrive now!

What he said! Ordered yesterday!

Sorry but 0 for 4 to my eyes.

Gracias,

I downloaded the quickstart rules. It's probably only in the full ruleset, but how would you handle magic? And could you include undead?

The Perilous Island expansions has lots of 'weird' abilities, some of which are great for representing a wizard or necromancer's powers. There's also 'reanimated' and 'mindless'- perfect for undead.

I think Dave suggests an extra ability per level for more differentiation between fantasy races.

Pretty nice, very tempted.

Good use of a "cartoony" style, but not using it as an excuse for poor sculpting or posing. Nice, very alternative, compliment to the rest of your range. They look a treat to paint, even if I'm not sure I could do justice to all those smooth surfaces.

Pretty cool to see an elf who isn't another pretty boy. His expression makes me imagine he barely tolerates his current company

Err..... "0 for 4"?

Thanks! It's been fun to do something totally different from the sci-fi and pulp ranges.

Don't worry, from the outset I decided that if some people really didn't like the figures, I wouldn't have done my job properly as I wanted other people to really like them too! I hope I've succeeded on that front.

Hi folks,

I thought I'd share this lovely version of Lowri Lowrisson, painted by Andy Wedmore of Belly Miniatures. I've commissioned him to paint all four adventurers and I'm very happy with the first results!



There are still a small number of Pre-Order sets of the adventurers available, but they're running out!

[Booboo]

Very well done, the red hairs a bit in the cartoon spectrum for my normal color preferences, but this little guy carries it off well.

[Nord]

Nice brushwork. Mine will be completely different, thinking blonde beard and red and white shield - basically a very short viking. 

[THE CID]

Love it, great figure and brushwork, can't wait to get mine. THE CID.

[The Gray Ghost]

will these ever be available individually?  
I really like the wizard but can't see using the other three

Yup, once the moulds are done and the castings arrive they'll be available individually.

[Van-Helsing]

Mine are Ordered!!!!
