This is the first figure from my coming line of "Tooth & Sword" Chibi adventure miniatures.
I've had a lot of fun learning to sculpt in this style, it providing a perfect counterpoint to my "Steam & Aether" range in both technique and mood and I've have a great deal of fun developing this menagerie of adventuring animals.
I've been sculpting these figures in the scant spare time I get from commission sculpting since December last year. A great deal of imagination has been put into each figure and a great deal of time in figuring out how to make a range of great looking unique characters that are in almost all cases single part figures.
This character was the first that I sculpted back before Christmas, nominally a Gerbil Ranger, I'll be showing his companions over the next few days before I put the figures up for funding on Kickstarter which I beleive is a popular way to launch a range at the moment  ;D

These look fantastic!

Ive got a few of your Impact! sculpts - looking forward to the kickstarter very much!

I was looking at the mouslings from Reaper for SDE but I think these guys will fit the bill nicely :)

Do you know if there will be a game/ruleset with the launch?

I do like these little cute things, mate.

I will never use them but that will never stop me thinking that they are great.

Thanks!
There's no rule set to come but I don't think it's needed in this case, I intend to game using SoBH but SDE or any skirmish/dungeon rule set would work well.

Hi Tadgie, as soon as I get the initial master castings back from Griffin moulds, I'm expecting them this week.



Today's preview is a Wolf Anti-paladin, I particularly enjoyed sculpting this character. :)

Lion Paladin to balance out that nasty wolf today. This will be the only two piece casting,the shield being a separate piece.

I probably should not show this to the wife but hey...

Before I do, and she will ask, how tall are these figures?

Gracias,

Glenn

They are roughly 28mm sized, I'll measure them when in back "in the office" tomorrow.

Yes, they're all roughly 30mm tall to the top of the head (excluding ears) the centre of the eyes at about 25mm (all give or take a mm or two).
