Statuesque Fantasy Adventurers Pre-Order!

[Elprez]

I have also cracked, 

[Gutbukkit]

Ordered this evening and I've dug out my old HeroQuest stuff. Now to find the missing pieces and strip the horrid paint jobs from the miniatures. I look forward to seeing what creatures you'll come up with, Andrew.

[majorsmith]

Awesome painting

[Elbows]

Love the paint job, only thing that bugs me is the black base (my arch nemesis) and the cloak looks a bit too pale/clean for anything that would be in a dungeon. 

[Andym]

Great stuff Andrew! I never noticed the Heroquest style bases until it was painted!

[Booboo]

Great stuff Andrew! I never noticed the Heroquest style bases until it was painted!

After seeing them painted, I'm regretting changing my base option.

[Andrew Rae]

After seeing them painted, I'm regretting changing my base option.

Fire me over an email the the statuesque email address and I'll change it for you.

[Booboo]

Fire me over an email the the statuesque email address and I'll change it for you.

Done, very big thank you. I wasn't convinced before my rush to order, but keep warming up to them.  They really do suit the figures.

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

Yep, none of them pry any of my money out of the wallet.

That doesn't mean these are anything but superior sculpts, just that none of them appeal to me.

But then I have very definite ideas about what I want my fantasy races to look like.

Brilliant characters Andrew! Love 'em!

[Booboo]

Sooooo, I'm reading the Warhammer Quest character thread, and thinking about these figures as Hero Quest is 1 of my major uses, but there is another classic inspiration I'd like to incorporate in heroset, so I thought I'd through it out there and hopefully the bait gets a nibble.

The valkyrie.  I'd love to see you do one with the character and style of your lot.






Just throwin' it out there.

[Nord]

With respect Booboo, I have just one thing to say to your suggestion.

Nooooooooooooooo, not another bikini clad bimbo wandering the dungeons and highways of the fantasy worlds!

Ahem. 

[Conquistador]

Oh My Lord, Ditto on steroids for that reaction!

Now, a strong (not weightlifter looking,) fur clad for winter outfit and/or appropriate chain/scale/studded armor female warrior using weapons not the size you would expect to see in a giant's two-handed grip in a single hand would be worth seeing and might even get some of my hard earned cash for work/family safe desk/book shelf decoration.  THAT I would spend money on!  Especially if I could get some really good painter to paint up brunette or silver grey hair (thinking of my wife's only non-gnome/non-cleric character in young/older ages mode!)

Gracias,

Something tells me getting Andrew Rae to make a female fantasy figure won't be difficult. Have you seen the other figures available from Statuesque Miniatures? These four fantasy dudes may have doubled the number of males available on the whole website.

[Andrew Rae]

I'm actually in a bit of a quandary about how to do female characters for the range. Since these are inspired by old fantasy miniatures as much as anything else, it would make sense to go down the chain mail bikini route, but at the same time, I'm not sure that's what I want to do. I also don't want to do something more 'current' with a girl in leather trousers and an emo haircut as seen in every piece of fantasy concept art.

I'll probably try to do what's appropriate for the character. So, evil sorceress: less clothing (as seen in everything from He-Man to Oglaf), while, say, a battle nun would be more decently attired.

Anyways, Andy Wedmore is continuing his progress with the Adventurers. Here's Gomeril the Wizard!



Great work by Andy Wedmore again. I love the face! :mrgreen:

And here he is with Lowri, ready for adventure.
