I like both giants, though they approach the concept from very different angles. The old one looks like something from a Disney movie, a big fat baby-eater. The new one has a story.

Wow, I love the new giant beyond mortal reckoning.

Stunning models. You should be proud and although I had never seen the previous models it's obvious your talents are better focused on gritty realism compared to GW cartoons.

I will be picking up a Plague Lord (Or whatever you decide to brand him) as soon as he's available. Awesome, horrific looking sculpt.

Dang!

Simply amazing work!

What size will the Plague Giant bw when finished? Will he be 40K Daemon Prince scale or bigger?

Lovely sculpts - I particularly like the look of the new daemon. Speaking of Daemons, are there any plans of you rereleasing the Daemon of Rage - I tried to buy one for ages before you closed your shop.

Shame on me, for stupid posting.

Looks damn nice.

And there goes the neighborhood!

Duuuuude, why? Some people may have thought it but why post it? Why conform to the sterotype "hur hur girl hur hur she has boobies hur hur me want but cannot escape from mothers basement" that seems to percolate throughout the hobby. Never thought I would get that word "percolate" in a sentence not about coffee - hopefully I have managed to spell it right. Anyway, back OT. She is obviously talented and has come her looking for an opinion on her talent and ability as a sculptor - there are other sites where you can appraise someone on their physical attributes. We are hopefully at a mental age where we can control those impulses on a message board about mini's and sculpting. Oh, and by "We" I am obviously excluding you - just incase you needed that cleared up.

Why not? Im out of sleep having to finish my diploma (?) for Thursday, nervous as hell, and so on.
And I too find the figures very well made.
But to be on topic:

A very little criticism about the two WIP demons:
I think the armour on their left arms looks to similar, I mean those overlapping parts, which are almost the same shape.
Now back to the basement, playing with little plastic toysoldiers. I mean drawing monsters.
No really, I do monsters.

Yeah, I think my english was better once.

So, because you are "out of sleep", you have a right to degrade someone?

Lets watch where we're going with what we say here people.

Dont ment to degrade anybody, so sorry when I offended someone.
Will stay on topic from now on.

And Im not only out of sleep, but also out of time, nerves and anything a human beeing needs to function propperly.

Of course you meant to degrade her. You can't step back from what you clearly asked for in your earlier post. And then, the first response that called you out on it, you never denied it. In fact, you "justified" your request by saying that you are "out of sleep" and that you were "nervous as hell", "finishing your diploma". None of those are acceptable responses, nor was your initial request.

One can't make degrading requests of woman, then claim they are not degrading. It's ridiculous and completely disingenuous.

Is that like when someone uses "I haven't had a cigarette"
as an excuse to yell at everyone at work, when really we
all know they're just being rude?

Let's get this back on topic, folks.

The Plaguelord looks awesome.
Are the old giants still for sale? I really like him and I hadn't heard of Ultraforge before this thread.

Edit: I realized why I don't like the new giant quite as much. His face looks very clever and smart. I prefer giants that are very simple and stupid. Otherwise he looks great to me.

You might cry over the old treeman, but its still better than the GW one that they released. I have yours as part of my WE army and its a 100 times better.

The new giant looks AWESOME. I cant wait for it to arrive. Its much better than the old one.


I'm glad your back in business. I really cant wait for those demons to be done so I can get some. Thanks.

I'm seeing extremely creative and beautiful sculpts being sold at realistic prices. This is starting to worry me. Somebody please pinch me.


And for what it's worth, the new stuff is amazing, but I still dig the old treeman. I'd grab one just to hang some nooses from for a centerpiece to an undead WHFB army...

Painted up in undead type colors the old tree would look nice, especially with all those nooses and stuff!


I actually just put some new putty onto the old Treeman. I am redoing his hands to make them a little more like Edward Scissorhands. The old one is nice but I want to try this out before re-releasing him. He will probably be ready in about a month or two.

I think I am also going to include a Treeman tutorial on the website and show how easy it is to add a model railroad tree to his stumps to make him look even more like a real tree. I am also doing up a springtime Treewoman with some model railroad trees as well. So easy to work with as they got all their branches and leaves ready to go.

I am not sure if I am going to re-release any other 1st gen Ultraforge minis, but I am going to be doing a re-sculpt of the ever controversial Lord of Pestilence.

Thanks for all the comments and criticism everyone. I am learning lots and am excited to make future Ultraforge minis even better.

He wasn't asking YOU, Malfred.

Duh!

Can't you read?

He was asking "firstly" to marry him. Gawd!

I don't know who "firstly" is, though. I looked through the directory and couldn't FIND a member with that name.
Maybe he misspelled it?

Eric

silly me, how could i mess up so badly, i meant to type: "MagickalMemories will you marry me"

I remember that paintjob, made for one of the coolest treemen ever. Spooky glowiness / Glowy spookiness =

- Salvage

Cleaned up some of the inappropriate comments from the thread.

Call me crazy, but when I first saw the New Giant, I thought. Kratos. Your Giant is a Kratos minus the Greek theme and tattoos. I mean no offence by this, but he screams "I just drank a $l-l17 load of Kick 455!"
Seriously Beautiful stuff.

Those new sculpts are quite simply amazing - OH YEAH!

Well, now. THAT'S uncomfortable...

I really want both of these models!

and the ones to come... stunning! I always like to have unusual minis as centre pieces in my armies.

Do you ship to UK? how much postage would i be looking at?




edit...nevermind your websit says $8! wow, will be making an order come payday

Like the greater daemon of Slaanesh from FW cost me $275 and this looks much better.

Damn these are beautiful, I just need to convince myself I need a woodelf army

You know... it would ALMOST be a sin to do it....

You've got a good point, even if you didn't realize you made it...

The "Treewoman" could be converted into one HECK of a proxy for the FW Slaaneshi Daemon "Lord."


Eric

We are seriously serious about value and after seeing what other big companies charge for their large resin cast minis we feel darn good about it too!

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.
