Stumbled upon this while surfing about.  As far as I can tell, you control a band of up to 10 characters while battling other warbands across a multi-dimensional hellscape.  Perhaps there are factions, I can't quite tell, but definitely some categories of human / demon going on.

I leave it to you to scroll about and find pics of the great models - the Arabian stuff is my favorite, and what led me to the site. 

 I also leave the French up to you too

NICE!

So very nice.  I may have to pick up some of the figs just because they're so interesting  (I especially like the large woman in the apron).  I hope they have plans to release this in English.

Interesting that they're using GW paints...

All sorts of news about the game on TGN including some translations of the site

Ahhhh so, thanks for that Pixelgeek and TGN. Looks like 4-5 factions, starter sets of 10 models (enough to play), release date late May or something? And a gallery and preview link from TGN:

Pity that gallery doesn't show the newer, and IMHO better, models, but you can see those wading through the TGN posts or the helldorado blog.

I have been watching the site for a while, hoping for more naughty slaneeshi minis...

Too bad it looks French

hehe...

The gypsy girl and the arabian minis are my favorites.

The Chams al Majid would make a pretty cool daemon prince.

Yeah, I really like the gypsy girl too.  Something about moving like that, in a dress...

Damn them French know how to sculpt.

I thought those were concept drawings for a split second -- then I saw they were casts.

I love that stitch doll. I'd buy one, but I'd be afraid of what would happen when I
finished painting it.

Well what do we have here?  It seems this young lass is wearing what appears to be her skin as an off-the-shoulder chemise.  How charming.

It's Hellraiser meets Slaanesh Daemon Princess! Squee!

Better than the daemonettes GW makes, that's for sure.

Personally the only gore I like to see is what left on the weapon after it takes some ones head off. On that note its a great models that with a little bit of paint can fix my personal problems with it. What scale is this going to be in anyway? It looks like 25-28mm but I thought I ask.

I just noticed that, the succubus does have the flesh around her shoulders flayed back into a saucy, plunging meat-line. That's actually a bit disturbing.

I won't be getting that model, but there are some real winners in there. If they are the proper scale, those spanish conquestadors and that gypsy model are going to quickly make it into my collection.

I'm getting a very Rackham feeling about this. And this is only speculating, but I imagine a clumsy game and gorgeous models. I have a number of Rackham models but they find little time on the gaming table. I'm always trying to invent ways to use them in my games.

Also note that her hips and abominal area has been flayed and that her nipples are held up by piercings. Oh yeah, very, very Hellraiser meets Slaanesh.


(But I still like GW's daemonettes! Those figures and the other daemonic creatures that came out around that time are some of GW's best ever sculpts)

I personally love the concept.  "What?  Indecent exposure?  But I'm not naked - I'm wearing my skin, am I not?"  That's messed up.

The humans are nice and all, but the daemonic thingies are truly Not Right.  Awesome.

Where can I get them? Lovely models. And the demonette, Nothing I like more then flayed flesh

Nothing I like more then flayed flesh

aka ... BEEF!

Hypothetically these aren't released until May 27th, if I read the site right. I wonder if TheWarStore will carry them at that point? Neal is pretty good about the imports, with Infinity, Rackham, etc.

- Boss Salvage

If  not TheWarStore, Fantization is almost guaranteed to pick them up. They were the first shop in the States to carry Rackham and MJB.

These minis are THE SEX (and also the best thing ever)!  I must have them.  THIS I COMMAND!!!

The think with the flayed flesh is that the way they made the model you could paint the exposed musles in the color you are using for the skin and the tourn flesh as leather from her armlets and boots. Its a clever (not cleaver) effect that allows people who like Beef to enjoy the model along with people like me. All it takes is a coat of paint. It will be perfect for a friends Slaanesh army.

Edit: Make one little mistake and they are all over you.

 Its a cleaver effect

Cleaver, scalpel, or maybe just a jagged piece of broken glass - I don't think these ladies would care.

Does anyone know when these are coming out?

Well nothing was news to me until I clicked that last link!  Wawaweewa!




GOLD.  Pure GOLD.  Well the girl at the end isn't perfect, but has some cool robes to paint.  The two things before her are great!

Thanks for the link!

That quote was on the same page and only five posts above yours...

So when are these coming out?

I'm not sure, I think Jester locked them in the closet.

Floating Woman will be a Banshee in my Vampire Counts army, I swear it. The murderous toys are cute, but the Hellraiser Succube just isn't doing it for me. Sometimes less is more, I guess.

Didn't that guy(gal?) Croc used to work for Rackham? Or am I thinking about another Croc??

Well, the Hellraiser Succube is certainly doing it for me!  I'm not entirely sure what "it" is, but I think it involves trying to eat my own face.
