Yes, indeed he would... and Tolkien. I would admit that. Well said.

Plus, I think a post Chapterhouse GW is a lot more understanding about their own place in the Pantheon of shared fantasy. They also now realize more than ever that this is largely an open source effort, and I have taken lengths to keep my sculpts neutral and harken to the finer points of my fave pre-GW innovators. It is a tapestry.

Speaking of Tolkein, what would be the chances of a dragon like Glaurung reaching Creature Caster be? A sort of bulky but still serpentine wingless dragon.

CreatureCaster,

I know I saw an AMAZING Rot Demon (that's what we will call him) you all did somewhere. What is the word on that guy?

I think you ought to stick to some of the oldie beasties, CreatureCaster. The Balor, Glabrazu, and Vrock are great starters, but perhaps you might think about a Chasme or a Marilith, too?

Or, should you be so inclined, perhaps even a Pit Fiend, or a Demogorgon - I would love to see your take on some of these old favourites.

the Demogorgon. if we're going to nerd, let's nerd correctly!

My my my...

Minions, Dragons and Trees? OH MY!

Wow, a very big update. Later tonight I will be announcing what is involved with the Minion unlock.

We hit 140K and I unlocked the first dragons rider'less kit upgrade. To avoid people asking if the next dragon would have one... I unlocked it as well! I can do that. I work here


I love these kits, and now these dragons can really do anything other than be completely naked, which is something we will consider for future dragons down the road.

Plus, we see that the next unlock is actually a stretch goal model?! We must be ahead of schedule. Here is an even sneakier sneak peak just for you.....

Hail to the queen!

Love the willingness to listen and adjust to feedback. I'm going to have to add one of those Treewomen for sure.

and now these dragons can really do anything other than be completely naked,

Was that little barb directed at me?

I think that was meant literally- they can have a rider, or no rider and be slightly armored, but not be fully naked. So, they work for anything but that, and he'll consider that for future designs.

The tree woman sneak peak looks very promising!

Ah see I was referencing my earlier quip.

What if we just want a naked, riderless dragon?

How about an asian dragon? I kind if referenced it earlier with the differences between the power levels could be different head styles AND different number if toes. The emperor dragon was the oh one to have five toes/claws, any peasent with a symbol with five was executed. Four toes is a powerful dragon and three is your run of the mill garden variety eat your of dragon.

Hehe, silly.

I suspect there will be some further iterations that the Treewoman will go thru, and that is cool to. We are only done sculpting the model up until it is sent to the printers.

Theophony, I am impressed with your lore. You rolled a natural 20. Actually, I am going to be avoiding dragons of the asian persuasion since my friends at Arcane Factories have one planned, which I am very much looking forward to seeing.

I just looked them up , they have some neat concepts, but nothing that grabs me. Of course they have a kickstarter coming up , there will probably be cool stuff there as well.

Okay, no Asian dragons, how about some Egyptian colossal god avatar like things . I'd love to see your take on Anubis, Ra, Set or other members of the pantheon, you could model them on fallen plinths or obelisks. Or if that's not your "thing", how about You Get all medieval us and draw some inspiration from Catholic Church artwork and history. I haven't seen a good take on the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

Fair enough. I can certainly respect that mentality.

@Jeremy (Creature Caster)- Any chances of a Rat-like daemon?Probably not doable in this campaign, but maybe for the next one?

Zwei, back in your box.

Jeremy, allow me to introduce you to Zwei, a fellow who tirelessly courts controversy, apparently to try and generate clicks for his blog.

He is best handled by ignoring, or highlighting the massive holes of logic in his arguments, although the latter may result in your having to witness an inordinate amount of wriggling, contortion and goal post moving, so if you don't have the stomach, just let him shout at a wall til he gets bored.

Exalted cause this is highly amusing

my reaction to waiting for you to announce a centipede-one.

I am liking the look of the silhouette for the tree-woman

Does that silhouette look a lot like the ultraforge treewoman he made previously, or am I imagining it?

The pose does look familiair, but we can't really say much until we see the actual model I suppose. Clearly the head area is different, and who knows what else might be. I think the treewoman looks very promising! Might have to consider changing the spider demon for a treewoman. Will the treewoman have unlocked (kickstarter only) parts as well?

Currently, the pose is similar to the Ultraforge Treewoman, in regards to the fact that she is kneeling. She also has a claw option, which makes her similar as well. That is where the similarities end. This new tree creature has a different approach to the "skin" where her bark becomes the segmented 'lame' of her segmented 'armor'. She is much more grizzled and battle scarred, while seeming even more elegant and feminine.

Many will say she is the same because of the pose, even tho the pose is different, it might not be different enough for some. This is completely fair and justified, and I understand. The pose is a work in progress and it is planned to evolve the pose away from the Ultraforge Treewoman.

Hey, join me with the Chillers and we can talk about everything that has popped up in the conversation and more. Showtimes are on the graphic below, and links will be on the Facebook once the show airs.

Poses like this are an example of what I am talking about, but we will go thru about a dozen silhouettes before settling on the right one. The concept art is really a start and not an end.

Ha. Wood. He he he.

I am really liking that pose for the treewoman, makes her loom over her targets and gives it a more dangerous feel over the kneeling down protective pose of your previous treewoman.

I agree, I would definitely prefer the looming pose! At least, just based on silhouettes, can't wait to see the actual model . The "segmented armor" and "grizzled and battle scarred" while still seeming elegant all sound great

With that armour piece I'll have to get the emperor dragon....
And that Treewoman...
I'll have to rob a bank before this is over , Sigh ....

I am glad the looming pose has support. I will show you a bunch of silhouettes once I unveil the model. To be honest, I usually start my designs from safe places and then branch out from there.

Branch? hehe

I see what you did there

I think you're giving GW too much credit.

I didn't, but then again I never can see the forest because of all the trees .

Now we just need a stone golem so there can be a "sticks and stones will break your bones" pledge

Back on topic as were getting into the weeds again , I wasn't able to do the hangout because of my final exam today, eagerly waiting on the pics and news .
