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

In fact you could sell the "bits" separately, maybe offer a variety pack. I know a few Slaanesh players who would be all over that.

Of all companies, Maelstrom might be the only one actually doing this

While that might actually be pretty handy, the notion of selling them as extras instead of just having people clip them off is sort of silly. Anyone who grew up on a farm knows that clipping off the jibblies is a lot easier than putting them back on.

They also generally don't get bent out of shape at seeing an animal's junk, but eh, small steps.

This could lead to dark places..like chaos gribblies made ENTIRELY of unmentionables. Imagine that coming at you out of a dark alley...

Actually don't. Its probably a criminal offence to imagine that.

We will indeed be offering a bitz service at some point, but not for a good while yet.

Willy jokes aside, some of the components have masses of conversion potential!

I think I get the thrust of what you are saying. You guys are really on the ball(s)!

Is there any way one can become a member in your line up?

... ok, I gotta stop... I need to go teach kids in a few minutes for Slaanesh's sake!

New BaneBeast pics up!

Impressive... I'm rather amazed by how well your sculptor translated the sneer from the concept art to the actual model.

Rather burly fellow, isn't he?

Yes, we wanted some 'roid rage on this guy! Read his backstory, he's really not impressed with the world. ;-)

I'd call it more if a disdainful amusement than a sneer, really. Either way, it looks nice.
The extra arms do something weird (but necessary) to the torso, making me think I'd have preferred him as a 2-armed monstrosity, but I really do like it.

I stopped buying stuff just because I liked it a long time ago. If I ever have a need for something remotely similar to this, however, I would easily rank it at or near the top of my list.

Excellent execution of detail.

Awesome model here - very Fulgrim-esque!

Your line continues to impress!

Interesting... That Gorgon lord might fit in quite nicely with a little project I've had bubbling away here...

Add some Gothic Armor and general Sci Fi kit---would make a good Siege of Terra Fulgrim

That Chimera is sooooo sexy

I'm impressed you guys manage to put out something this impressive so often. Other game companies with full lines don't get close to matching the quality and quantity of output.

Awesome piece but as to be expected from Rackhams former number one sculptor. Very reminescent of his work with the Ophidians and Apostates which is where I'll try and proxy this guy into.

Thanks! - It's hard work hitting the monthly deadlines, but we're doing well so far and are doubling the BaneLords output in October so there will 4 BaneLords released that month! The BaneBeasts, being larger are much more work so we'll be sticking to one release a month there (for now!).

Indeed, when we drafted the concept for this mini, Stephane was the guy I had in mind as the sculptor. His Ophidians (snake body and scales), Molochs (winged deamons) and the light elemental (feathered wings) ate all aspects he was familiar with, Stephane is a great guy and a wonderful sculptor.

The final result is more heavily muscled than the concpet - that's intentional, there's a big gap time-wise between concept and sculpting and in that time we decided to beef him up!

Wow! Didn't know that, but no that you say it, it completely makes sense!

Any chance he'll be sculpting some of the BaneLords?

I will get one, but there is 1 thing I do not like - the armour (and i assume the torso underneath if he was real) seem to broad below the chest. Giving more like a regular body builder physique, i think, would have looked better where it's broader at the chest but tapers down a bit to the waist. Some of that may have to do to support 2 extra arms though.

Think you could add something like this into your mix?

Your 20% off UK RRP discount voucher ends on Monday the 8th of August 2011 at midnight (GMT)

I really wish you guys would extend your voucher times a little longer - they always end just before I get paid, since I'm one of the many out there who get paid fortnightly. If they finished a few days later on a Thursday I could budget for purchases and pick up a whole lot more...

That is the best Daemon Prince model certainly for Slaanesh I've ever seen. The combination of beauty, strenght and elegance is exquisite. I have to say it's the finest model you've produced.

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.

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!

ffers you mocking laughter:

Foolish neophyte! Don't you understand that the internet is a place to control, not a place to advertise your miniatures company! By not only showing pictures of what you sell, but also telling people when and how they may be purchased, it shows that you clearly have no idea how to run a successful minis company, and I look forward to your demise.

Advertising indeed!

Simon also sculpted Cynuise for us (the undead standard bearer). Plans are afoot for loads more work from Simon in the future!
