We are actually coming out with a larger female demon that you may like for only 60 or 70 bucks in about two months. She will be released with two large wings but will have a non-winged option on month after her initial release. Will have WIP pics up on the site in a few weeks.

Consider your page book marked then, Codex: Daemonica is on the way in may

That plaguelord is cast out of win putty and putridity. MUST HAVE ONE.

And yeah, great timing. May you prosper with the new release schedule!

If this is in reference to my post... Don't sweat it. That was on ME, not you.
I was looking from work, where P-Bucket is blocked.

Sophia wrote:The 'PlagueLord' and the 'Pleasuredemon' are both relative in scale to the other two demons, and make use of the same scenic base.

The problem is that we don't know precisely how big those are, either.... at least, I don't recall seeing any measurements here.


Any chance you can tell us where, say, a Space marine would stand in comparison to these models, so we know what the basic size is?

Oh... and I think more "glands" on the "Pleasure Demon" would have looked better... more like what she's SUPPOSED to represent... or, I should say, will most often be USED to represent... but I understand the potential legal troubles you could face if you got too close to the looks of a "certain company's" product. She looks a bit too "porn star" for me, but it's still a NICE model.


Thanks!

i just wanna say that i actually like the old treeman. he makes me think he's saying something like "blargrahbVahc" which is funnier in my head than in words

Unfortunately I didn't take a scale reference pic of the new greens. The are now all packed away and ready to be sent to get cast. I do however have this pic that show the first two demons with a 28mm mini. The Lord of Pestilence and the Pleasuredemon are both relative in scale... about three times the sizes of a mortal man.

Thanks for those pics!
I just saw that you accept paypal.
I have to see how much shipping and that stuff is.

Those models look great. I know you mentioned creating wings as accessories, any plans on having some that fit that Khorne-ish looking one (the one on the right)?

If you look close at the demon on the right you might see his spiked back pieces are separate from his body. You glue them into place if you prefer an un-winged demon. If you want wings, simply place the wings in those ports instead. All of the demons will be for sale with a winged and non-winged option eventually. Unfortunately I do not have any pics of the winged demons but will take plenty when I get the minis back from casting.

These new sculpts are absolutely fantastic! Any chance of you doing a giant female Space Elf walking molten statue...or something similar??

I'm ordering one of those plague lords as soon as it comes out.
Shipping be damned!

The hooves!

Really looking forward to completed pics of all these new demons. Great stuff, Ultra folks.

Sophia,

Could I make a suggestion for your website? I would find it helpful if you added a picture of the unassembled models.

Thanks

These models are amazingly detailed. I got my Treewoman today in the mail and I love it .

SoG

ah the good old lord of pestilence.. I still remember the happy day I had when I ordered one and found two in the box. I still feel tempted by the new version you are working on though, so maybe I can have a trifecta. Papa Nurgle would like that.

As for his size, he is a bit bigger than the current terminators. Mine are off being painted though, so I don't know for sure just how accurate that is. I remember them being about as tall as if they had daemonic stature, but just barely.

Keep up the fantastic work, i plan on buying up and painting the baddy on the left in the 28mm comparison, for my death guard. i'll make sure to paint him up all nice and shiny and will surely drop your website url around my local gaming store! And as for the pleasure lord, she can surely have my mortal soul any day, don't change a thing!

Holy jumping Jesus on a pogo stick!
Those are PERFECT.

I don't know that I'll be getting the one that resembles something Khornate (face is too human for my tastes), but I can guarantee I'd by IT before buying the FW Ang'r'ath model.

As for the LoP model.... Oh, yes. He WILL be mine.... and he will be winged.
In some ways, I DO prefer the FW model but, overall, YOURS makes that one look like sh!7!

Thank you for the comparison image. It is PERFECT!

I'm not trying to be too demanding... but I can't help but ask... Do you happen to have a picture of the rest of that scythe?


Eric

Unfortunately I do not have any more pics of those minis since they are all packaged up and on their way to being cast. Suffice it to say that the scythe is suitably rusted, pitted and decayed and well suits the mini in my opinion. If you did not like the scythe then you could clip off the long handle and stick a weapon on each hand.

We are considering doing an alternate head and weapon combination for each demon down the road, so that would be a chance to get two huge rusted meat cleavers in his hand! That would also be a chance to do a 'Wardemon' face re-sculpt to make it look more animalistic and demonlike, and get some hair on the 'Pleasuredemon". This would not happen for another few months tho.

the Khornate one would be perfect for Angron.

Has anyone from UK ordered before? I'm not gonna get stung by customs am I?

I'm liking very much what I see and think the female Daemon is just what I need to supplement my Slaaneshi force.

The OTT Californian breasts are okay, but her face seems to lack the expression I would expect from a crouching she-daemon. I envision that pose with a rictus grin, fanglike teeth, and rapturous glee at finding a new prey item.

Still... the whole line Screams "Wow!"

Any word yet on when the next pieces are going to be available?

Thanks.
Eric

I mailed out the masters last week and they should be arriving in Texas either tomorrow or the next day. They should take a few weeks to cast and another week to ship, so they should be added to the store in at least a month. There are no pre-orders unfortunately but I will post here when they do come available.

By the time they arrive we should be over half way to finishing up our next mini.... but this new one is a fairly massive undertaking. I will post WIP pics when I update the website to include the new miniatures.

Sophia wrote:but this new one is a fairly massive undertaking.

Even bigger??

War mammoth? Really really big demon? Or do I smell dragon?

Truly a fearsome creature of the First Age.

Well, I feel pretty good about providing a Dakka exclusive:

The new Ultraforge miniature is a very versatile dragon that includes a standing platform for you to place any commander on (good guess Salvage!). If the dragon dies and you can place the rider on the field of battle and you can also change up the rider depending on which army you are playing with. We are designing it to be the last dragon you'll ever need to buy as it suits a wide range of uses. The dragon is themed for dark and evil and spikey armies... because other dragons out there are just too darn nice lookin'!

This mini will NOT be released with a rider, as we figure you already have an army general that you would like to simply place onto the platform when you decide to use a dragon. This saves you from having to repaint a new miniature, and also from having to find a seated version of a rider that fits the theme of your army while still being able to fit on top of the dragon. This also means you can use the same dragon with many different armies as the mini you place on the platform can then allow it to fit in with whatever army you are using or are going to use in the future.

Jeremy is doing most of the sculpting on the dragon. His style is more realistic and gritty than my more cartoony style. I am really enjoying watching this dragon come to life! We will post WIP greens on the site in a few weeks.

I am curious to your thoughts on the standing platform. It is different than the conventional seated rider and allows for far greater flexibility but looks quite a bit different. Our inspiration comes from a lot of video games and fantasy art. Here is one example of the idea...


The alternate idea is to have the dragon riders legs as a component. This way you can use the upper body of any miniature, glue it onto the legs and have a greater range of possibilities while still using the seated position. Right now we are debating the virtues of each idea and your thoughts and suggestions are welcome.

sounds great!

i got paid today so am sat here wondering what to order?

do i get the giant?

do i get the tree-bird?

do i get both?

do i wait for a funky demon or dragon?

arggghhh

I think the original idea is preferable--after all, there is considerable variation in proportion and style between general-type minis, and I think in practice the legs you provide will not match that many of them.

I'm UK based and I bought a giant the Saturday before last. It arrived on Tuesday this week - total delivery time 8-9 days. He is truly an awesome 'miniature'.

I had no problems with customs or VAT but they can be pretty random about such things.

The model looks to need minimal trimming and filling. There are tiny surface cracks in 3-4 places on the body which should fill easily or due to their size I could probably paint straight over them.

I'll be very tempted to buy from them again if they produce something else which fits with my armies. A big thumbs up on price, delivery time and quality of product.

These minis are "Awesome" and "Win" in resin form. Truly amazing!

I have this image of a Treewoman in an army of Dryads lead by Drycha... and that's one of the simplest but coolest themes I've ever came up with, heh.

Also on the Dragon:
I love the idea, I really do. I would hope that the rider's platform is a little more like a cross between chariot and howdah, and less like an orator's platform (which is what the one in that image strikes me as).

Either way, I'll likely be picking that up when it's ready, depending on how it turns out. I need a good dragon to zombify.

Random thought. You said versatile, have you considered multiple poses for the wings? The flared out, ready to strike, "look at me I'm a big scary dragon" pose is nice, but variety is the spice of life. And a dragon with it's wings folded back before it lunges at your little men-at-arms can be menacing too.


Really looking forward to it!

thanks for that maccwar

well have taken the plunge and ordered a giant.

cant wait to see it in the "flesh" Sofie, keep up the good work.

sleazy, I hope you enjoy your Giant and thanks for your support. We will mark the package as a gift so you will not have any trouble with customs.

I am glad you are satisfied with the Giant Maccwar. Please send painted pics if you get the chance as that really gets us amped!

Thanks for the comments and suggestions for the dragon. I especially like the idea to cross a chariot and a howdah for the riding platform. Chariots looks pretty cool and would suit the mini quite well. I suppose we could also whip up a zombie option for the dragon as well?
