Crooked Dice: Villainous Archetypes - OUT NOW
« on: August 19, 2015, 09:13:12 PM »
These beauties went for mastering today. Four Villainous Archetypes - l to r: Underworld Boss, Sinister Mystic, Otherworldly Invader and Despotic Dictator. These are the first 3D prints from Ernst Veingart since he moved to sculpting with Z-Brush and to say we're delighted with the results is an understatement. Bigger pics over the coming days including a look at the Mystic's goat mask head…



*Wasn't quite sure where to put these, but they have an alien in, so plumbed for FW board - apologies in advance if it needs to shift!

Wow, very nice!

Gotta say that the underworld boss and despotic dictator look especially good to me.  8)

Blimey, these are spectacular and they really fire up my imagination!

This being said, I agree with Andym that the quality of the sculpt would really justify a run of high quality "resin master" castings like Hasslefree does; I'd pay through the nose for those.

Sooo good. The scenarios just write themselves as I look at those figures!

(Of course, then I cack them up by painting them My Way, sadly.)  :?

Yet another fantastic group of Crooked Dice miniatures that I will have to buy, then not paint because I don't want to screw them up. Some of your figures are so good, they're scary.

A question about the Despotic Dictator. What is he holding in his left hand?
