CREODA, GÚTHWULF
Sometimes within the memories of Creoda are reflections of his previous life, his life amongst the humans he once ruled and now barely comprehends, but those memories are fleeting and never remain. Sometimes, his descendants say, he can hear and understand what is said to him, what is needed of him, for he recognises his children the most, seeing – perhaps only vaguely – they are his kin and that they need him and his ever-increasing strength. Perhaps, as the whispers go, he understands, too, that he is but a few turns further along the path that Cearl and Penda now tread, and thus sees himself at an earlier age. Even his children, however, cannot control him. They can only ask of him what they will, and Creoda will listen or he will not. It is, as the Wiglereas suggest, impossible to predict which part of him is dominant, for the power of Wōden gains greater ascendancy with each passing day and it becomes more and more difficult for a Gúthwulf as advanced as he to be a part of anything but the hunt in the wilds, the herald of grief and desolation, the call of the Old Gods in this age of darkness and ruin. Ere long he will return to Wōden himself to repay his ancient debt; until then, he answers to the call of war, of slaughter, a call that becomes ever greater as the needs of his sons grow.








Creoda comes with a 50mm base and is up for pre-order here http://www.maelstromgames.co.uk/index.php?act=pro&pre=mae_blg_bnb_mon_022_000 More info on our blog here http://banelegions.maelstromgames.co.uk/?p=812

Did someone say.... Thunderwolf?

Personally, I'm psyched for this release, I think I'll be using him as Scylla for my WoC, he looks perfect to fill that role.

Someone mentioned using a wherewolf as a varghulf recently. Talk about getting lucky lol.

Woooohoooo. Finally! Can we please get some hints for the ones that come on Monday as well? I need to know, if I should postpone my order till then or go for the wolf now!

Glad you like him guys.

Æthelglyth, Warrior-Maiden of Mercia and Vilthiss, Champion of Khthon will be unveiled on Monday.

Cheers

Rob

Since you are in your answering mood , I remember that I had seen somewhere the concept sketch of yet another wolf. Is it true or am I experiencing post-werewolf-OMG-stress?

Could you please re-post the picture here and let us know when to expect the second beastie too?

You mean this guy:



As for when... sometime this year!

Cheers

Rob

Holy molly!

Some more questions:
-Early this year or laaaaaateeeer? Give us a date to feed our addiction.
-Is he gonna be as big as the guy released today or humanish size?
-Are any more guys from this faction coming (preferably wolves)? And are they the ones who ally with the trolls or not?

P.S. : I lost my Ld check, I am putting an order later today, when I return from work.

Haha. You're looking at May or June, something like that, although he could be available at Salute. He'll be monstrous, larger than a human, on a 40mm base.

Yes, the Anglians of Mercia will have lots more miniatures, including wolves; the Trolls are Norse, so they're most definitely not allies!

Cheers

Cheers for the heads up! Whip your sculptor and force him to have the other wolf-guy ready for March. Take my money before I spend them for food, rent and these kind of trivialities.

Allies or not of the Norse, I am going to buy the Jotun with the huge hammer. Any clue about when this model in coming available?

P.S.: I have mentioned it before, but you REALLY need to publish an artbook with the concept sketches.

Gators! When are they getting some love?

Oh my sweet dark gods, those are GREAT! Grrr... I must resist!

That big wolf is getting rules written for him though...

Anatomically the guthwulf doesn't make sense to me: Wolfish hindlegs that are not adapted to upright walking plus human arms/shoulders/hands that are not adapted to walking on all fours. But then again, most of the recent releases don't appeal to me.

CREODA, GÚTHWULF = a really nice release.
Will buy!

Yea, now that you mention it, I don't see why he is supporting himself on a fist instead of on his finger tips or palm. It seems to me he should move more like a wrestler and less like an ape of some sort.

And if you took all of that away, it would just be.. a wolf.

That Creoda is pretty nice.

And if you end up making any female werewolves at about that size, you might just push me over into my first-ever Maelstrom purchase.

Fist to floor/ground is also used by many Sumo wrestlers. Doesn't bother me.

First Monday of the month and here's Vilthiss, Champion of Khthon!
















Up for pre-order here http://www.maelstromgames.co.uk/index.php?act=pro&pre=mae_blg_bnl_cha_024_000 Full news item here http://banelegions.maelstromgames.co.uk/?tag=bnl-024

So... much....AWESOME!!! This thread makes my wallet weeeep!

Wow.

I like this one!

Is that a bat'leth?

That is all kinds of awesome!!!

Valete,

JohnS

Question for Maelstrom Guy:

Will there be a 3rd Troll model soon to go with the other too?
Same question for a 3rd Minotaur.

Also , you mentioned that a shaman goat man will come eventually , some news? Concept?

Thanks!

snake? SNNNAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKE!

Sorry, had to be done. I will definitely be making Vilthiss my first bane legion mini!

Glad you like Vilthiss guys - we think he's awesome!

Okay, some answers to various questions...

Praetor24:
Mjagnir is coming over the summer, he's in progress now. As to a sketch book, I tell you what - you pay for it, we'll publish it, how's that? ;o)

AgeOfEgos:
'Gators? We're not doing any 'gators. If you mean crocodilians, well, Megálávra, Krokodar Slaughterer will be unveiled next month.

Bobilero:
Yea, there'll also be a fourth and a fifth Troll - but that will be towards the back end of the year. The Tarvax question gets the same answer, and the Gabrax Warlock will be released at some point in 2012.

Hope that helps guys!

Cheers

Rob

Thats nice!!

I really hope you can keep Allan doing the Trolls, because A) Allan is god , and B) It will be nice to keep them all with the same style.

Same for Tarvax guys

Yup, the rather skillful Allan will be sculpting the other 3 trolls and Benoit will be carrying on his awesome work on the Tavax.
