Well the new releases for October are up for pre order. I am informed that the figures will be in hand no later than the 5th of October.

The intent was to have about four more figures but they just were not going to make the deadline for October so they will have to go in with the big HelsVakt expansion in November ( it IS coming!! ).

At any rate this month I have;

Bruiser Gus, Sleeper in the Alley, Puller of Corks, Cracker of Skulls.....ever needed that hard to find Half ORc thug? This is your figure. Big, ugly, dangerous and slightly ridiculous looking he will strike fear into the hearts of any bumpkin unlucky enough to get lost in the Big City back alleys.



The Ever Wonderful Epierre the Entertainer. The perfect Elf bard figrue sure to capture the hearts of all the lady adventurers and bewitch the dumb beasts of dungeon, cavern and woodland alike. ALL adventuring parties need an entertainer to lift their spirits in the dark of the dungeon deep, ALL taverns welcome a Dandy entertainer. A great piece for display or gaming yo uar esure to find a clever use for such a figure.



Zyrava............



Herbert Hedgewyrd, Far Wanderer, Candle in the Shadows, Finder of the Lost Ways, Fox Whisperer, BeeSinger, ThornWalker, Brewer of CherryMead, Friend of the Hill Folk and Keeper of Finiuimgreimclcoh. What adventuring party can't find a place for a Halfling Illusionist / Mage / Druid??



Mad Angus The Red Bastard of Blythe'sCliff, a bloody savage to some, a great hero to others. This is fighter sure to wade into the thick of his enemies and leave a wreck of red ruin in his wake. Foes BEware, he is fearless and a longswordsman without peer.



Hefty Hamish Hillander abroad, graciously in service to his presumed Majesty King Ulbrecht of Aengland. Well known from the tavern to the battlefield Hamish is a stalwart fighting man as loyal to his mates as he is fearsom to his enemies!



Finally the encounters range of RBG expands with the initial units of undead. There will be more to come, undead of various danger and type. But this first issue hopes to offer enough to begin populating your crypts and haunted keeps with enough mace fodder for a great little game.

WraithKnights........ hovering ghostly and malicious these dark summons are sure to prove the mettle of any band of adventurers unfortunate enough to trespass upon their protected ground. ( Stupidly not pictured here, is the two handed weapons sprue that is included with this multipack. 2 longswords, 1 flanged mace, 1 ball mace, 1 battle axe, and 1 hammer. each is universally interchangable - except the two long swords with one particular wraith knight. )



Lesser undead. Animated like marionettes by the ethereal malice of dark magicks the shambling undead shuffle forward mindlessly to mob and mangle any living creature that draws their attention.

Did you replace Zyrava's other boot heel? It's still missing in that photo.

Those Wraithknights are all kinds of amazing. Very useful models.

Very nice, as always. I always look forward to these threads.

I especially like the Wraith Knights. I play Cryx in Warmachine, so I'll be picking up some of those for sure, heh.

Oh, a question I'd be meaning to ask before: are you likely to find a large-ish British distributor any time soon? Or have you already and I've missed it?

Tre, your work is amazing. I wish PP would hire you.

Interesting, I think these are the first "not-Privateer Press" models I've seen in the market. Regardless, they look very nice.

Privateer Press


Also, I love the "shambling horde" undead. Most sculptors don't get the "shambling" right, and you guys seem to have hit it on the head. Nice work!

Great bunch as always. My favorite is Mad Angus. I'm not sure I get from this picture what the deal is with Zyrava's sword.

I really love the wraith knights' heads. They are clearly skulls, but you have played with the structure so that they convey emotion. I like the robes underneath the armor for all but the leftmost wraith. I think there's not enough swirl. But as part of a unit I think he'll be fine. I want to see them with full weapons in hand though!

I'm normally not much of a zombie person, but your zombies are easily the most shambly ones I've seen. Well done!

Those zombies are really amazing. They look like zombies. I might need to pick up a few just for the models.

Awesome as always, Tre. I'm forwarding RBG to my wife for Christmas shopping ideas!

EPIC zombies! Love them. Wish there were plastics that awesome.

Cheers guys!!

beign totally honest I had no idea or intention to tie the wraiths in with anythign PP has done and had never seen those undeady things when i made the original designs...... Funny hwo it worked out though and I am not complainign!

Zyrava's heel is just lifted due to the angle of her stance. No heel neccessary.

I am working on setting up something in the UK but it may be a while yet before it is up and running.

And I have applied at PP in the past...I botched my first attempt LOOOOOONG ago and never heard back from them on the second attempt though. :/

The fools! Maybe we could set up a petition to get you hired.

How do these compare scale-wise with Reaper and GW minis? You have a few models that would fit in perfect with a warband I am making for SOBH.

I have absolutely no use for any of these miniatures...

...but I'm still going to look into getting the Wraithknights, Shambling undead and halfling.

Eric

Thanks guys!

Hard to say Iceburg. It depends which Reaper or GW figs you ar easkign about. Typically my stuff looks small next to Reaper and as well when put next to some GW. the heights are about the same btu as the proportions are " finer " the scale comes across mor eclearly.

I use both RBG and various Reaper miniatures in my DnD game and agree with Tre's assesment that the height is about the same, but the models are of finer proportions. They tend to look a little smaller side by side, but you have to be close to see the difference. The detail on RBG minis is amazing, but you might have to thin your paints a little more than you would for GW's models.

The boob-muscle demon has odd proportions and pose (and the left leg is much shorter: hip down but foot on toes), which surprises me as you are usually a master of both.

The left hip is up, not down, and the foot is on its toes because it is angled out to the side. I think if you inspected it with a ruler you would find that the proportions are nor unusual.


Also, those wraithknights are straight up amazing. If they are a non-outrageous cost, I am buying 40 for my VC Grave Guard.

When will the Barbarian Horsemen be released?

Those undead look neat as hell.

The Wraith Knights look good, I am getting increasingly unhappy with Privateer Presses pricing. If they are competetive I will pick up some.

Great work! Keep it up.

Very nice wraith knights indeed - and the zombies are super too.

It got me to looking around the site - does anyone know how tall/big the goblin bonebacks are?

Great stuff once again, and yes, finally going to have an excuse to pick some of Tre's figs up once 2nd edition Descent comes out.

Can see me getting wraith knights and Zyrava to use as npc's, and will need to dig through the whole range for replacement heroes and other monsters.

Many thanks guys! I honestly did not expect the zombies to be such a bug hit! I am very happy that they are however!

As for the pricing of the Wraith Knights. The pack costs $31.99 which works out to $5.33 per figure included. I hope that you find that a fair price. I tried to go as cheap as possible but the cost to mould and cast that many pieces to sell in a sinlge pack makes it difficult to go too cheap.

The Zombies are so cheap because they do nto require as much metal or as much moudl space per piece.

It never ceases to amaze me what is and is nto popular. Not that I am complaining! btu I had really not expected the undead to be such a hit!

Have dealt with both ebay sellers and they have been very good

Artemis Black is still going, wow, I totally forgot about that place, used it ages back for some Shadowforge figs. Bookmarking that sucker.

Sorry Homenutt, I had meant to reply to your questions earlier.

November....unless a bus sized satellitel falls otu fo the sky on top of me first.

I definately like the zombies from this batch, along with the wraiths.

My only concern would be on how strong/thick/thin the bottom parts of the wraith models are - since they look to be quite top-heavy I'm concerned that if they have a thin connection to the slottabse they could bend and break easily since your figures tend to use a softer metal.

Did you replace Zyrava's other boot heel? It's still missing in that photo.

"You picked a fine time to leave me Lucelle"

It is not missing MGS

Oh, nice, thanks Chibi. I've been buying through eBay up until now, will have to give Artemis Black a go.
