These guys need to put out some sort of playing system. They easily look far better than anything GW has put out.


(if they already do I apologize, I do not follow them that closely)

I actually kind of like the paint job. There's a certain amount of realism to it.
I'm just not a bog fan of the actualy model.

There have been models (even excluding those showing their testicles) that I haven't really liked. Even those models were well done... they just didn't "call out" to me. This is the first model that I've not been impressed with the quality on.

Still a fan, though!

I actually like it myself. It reminds me more of those ancient amphibians on things like Walking with Dinosaurs than a Lizard like Hydra which definitely brings home the eldritch abomination/ancient fiend lineage. It also looks like how I've seen a lot of art for the Nernean Hydra Hercules bashed in.

WARNING TESTICLES! (and a man-rodent weener)




















Some BaneLegions news (you can get regular updates on our Twitter page in my sig)

Ophias the Gorgon Lord and Nagausith the Black-Elf Standard bearer casts are now and the paintjobs will be ready soon. Ready for a Sept release alongside Ornung the Bone-Orc Shaman.

Painted Flint-Fang pics are ready



And his box cover shot.





For the none-genitalia inclined it's the work of 2 secs with a pair of clippers to eunuch him up real good.

This guy is BIG! That's a 60mmx100mm base he's on there.

Available to order here http://www.maelstromgames.co.uk/index.php?act=pro&pre=mae_blg_bnb_mon_014_000 released the 6th of August.

Their heads look kinda goofy, maybe the way its painted

Disagree - they look fantastic!

After the slight disappointment of the Hydra, this is a fine return to form - well don!

Well quality wise it looks better, I just think the head and eyes have this weird look to it

Still dont understand what genitals really add to the model. Offended? Nah but it doesnt add much. Guess I dont particularly enjoy painting balls either

The Hydra is actually not a new release, it was released the same month as Euryalia about 3 months ago now, I think someone just re-posted it in this thread a couple of days ago. Flint-Fang is our latest release and he'll be followed by Ophias (a Gorgon so his lower half is reptilian he's genital free ) next month.

Gives "Fix it" a double meaning!

I like the sound of a Gorgon, are you going to do a female version (Medusa) as well?

I am a fan of everything Skaven-like, but, as you certainly expected, I have to pass this one because I play in a family friendly environment.
You have your principles, I have mine.

Well, fortunately some flush cutters or a greenstuff loincloth with take care of the issue for you.

You might find that your abomination suddenly has an unquenchable desire for chocolate, however.

Edit: meant to add that I really like the model as a less over the top rendition of the HPA or something similar. Granted, I like most of the different abomination rat type things I have seen, but it is good to see one that is relatively understated, just a big scary monster.

So i bought the Rose of ker-ys witchling model today. Can't wait to paint it. I'm really liking the models this company is putting out. I still cant understand why people get bent out of shape over testicles on a model, i don't think theres anything wrong with a little realism.

Mikh only works on a few sculpts per year so we're really pleased to have him working on our range. Rumour has it he's turning his hand to a BaneBeast soon................

I like the Black Elf a LOT.
Cloak on the Orc is interesting, too.

::heads to check out website::

Nice Dark Elf. Took me a minute to realise what the banner is.

Quite cool. Isn't it?

Eric

Continued sexiness all around... I could do without the constant need to put junk on every monster bigger than an ogre though lol

Alternatively, you could make them a separate piece that could be added or not to a model during assembly or left off.

But then my bits box will be fulll of ... bits!

I actually lolled. So then I exalted. Excelsior!

Oh wow, that Black Elf is gorgeous. Loving the wing standard as well.

Very nice minis, both! Nothing particularly stunning, but both solid.

I would actually love to see a BaneLord take on a Vampire Count. I've been leaning on AoW for one as well, but I think - having seen the Dark Elf - that you guys could do a stellar job with it.

Loving the big monsters in this thread... apparently I'll have lots of options if I decide to get more big stompy things (which I probably won't, as that's about all I've gotten so far and am looking for a change in playstyle, but still awesome).

Nice Black Elf - I might have to get one when/if AoW gets around to releasing their plastic Dark Elves.

The Shaman would make a nice Orc Necromancer.

We have a Vampire Lord planned for later in the year Oct. Remy Tremblay (the same guy that sculpted our Vagrant Knight) has sculpted him and he's done a great job. He will be previewed the month before release, 1st Mon of the month as usual.

In fact, October will see us release 4 BaneLords!

I love the Dark Elf, but her sword is lookin' really long to me.. almost unwieldy..
