Cheers guys-

BTW Krull does indeed have a pair, you can't see them on the rear angle as that 'area' is in shadow, but rest assured he's packing heat. And of course if BaneBalls (my favourite was BaneSacks) aren't your cup of tea they are easy to remove, tbh once the tail is on you can't really see them.

Are those cuts and scrapes on his armour part of the sculpt, or were they painted on? If they were painted on, then that's amazing work.

A bit of both - most are sculpted on, but Ben has added additional weathering/damage on some areas.

Glad you like the work our guys put in - Krull was a long project of around 18 months from concept to painted fig so we're glad you guys like him - we love him!

WOW !! Creoda looks amazing!!

Hey Maelstrom man , please tell us that Daniel Cockesell is already working on another piece for late this year, please!

Maybe a dragon....a Hydra....

Banesack FTW.

@Maelstrom... you planning on attending any Cons on the North American side of the pond this year?

@ Bobilero

Indeed he is! Something very different that will blow your socks off! Wtach this space........

@jgemrich No plans for US Con just yet (maybe one day! We'd love to come to Gencon) but we do have stockists in North America (as well as free worldwide shipping on our own site) and a certain very large retailer in the US should be receiving a batch of our product any day now - Watch this space (again, just keep watching this space )

Wait so what should I be watching again?

That krull is amazing, man. Tell the painter he's got a fan over here. I'd love to see some more stuff that he's painted. Does he have a gallery anywhere?

Ben's stuff on on CMoN http://www.coolminiornot.com/browse/browseid/964381

And his GD stuff http://demonwinner.free.fr/peintre.php?id_peintre=566 He's won just the 3 Slayer Swords...........

Wait so what should I be watching again?

I can't remember- escapes my mind.......

Today is a sad day, for we are bidding goodbye to two old friends that have been with us for a little while now. Both N’nhaak’chshir and Tygandr are a great example of sculpts from a supremely talented young man, Alex Huntley, and have provided the BaneLegions range with a lot of oomph over the past eighteen months – but all good things come to an end, and after the last twenty-five of each are gone, they’re gone forever.





So if you want to own a piece of BaneLegions history and grab some fantastic miniatures in the process, get one before they’re gone!

Always sad to see miniatures deleted, but I have to say I've never been fans of these early models which, I reckon, were produced before they decided to start looking at producing their own game. The Hydra I reckon we'll see again in a new form though:

AWESOME!!!!!

Hydra Dominatus!

(Had to be said!)

I'm looking forward to seeing this one painted up...

Hmmm... heavily modified into an Alpha Legion Defiler...

I see this happening...

AFter many, many requests to release the 'bits' components of our range, we've put them up for order.

At the mo it's just the BaneLords but the BaneBeast components will follow in due course.

So, if you ever fancied ordering Kraan on foot (or just his big bear!), Guillame on his horse without the foot version or just aweapon arm for that coversion you have planned, well, knock your socks off!

Anybody been able to get onto the Maelstrom Website, it's been down for two days!!!!!

That'll be the 25% sale killing their site then.

No 1st Monday of the month releases this week? I heard rumours of another brute model planned for launch.

I just got Shaaroc in the mail, sooner than I'd expected! Looks great, and Huge... only downside I hadn't really considered is that the severed heads on the side of his body may look a little out of scale with warhammer. I guess they're ogre heads (certainly works for my army). The casting is really nice, no complaints there at all. Came with a long sprue of small spikes that I'm not sure what I'm going to do with, though!

Thanks!!

Update on the way - New Brute is indeed imminent!

The skulls/heads on Shaaroc are all giant sized heads - Shaaroc's two-handed axe is ideal for lopping the heads from larger foes. He is indeed a 32mm scale mini.

We already have a few giant cyclopian minis and more big fellas to come!

Yeahh!! Love this brutes!

And here I was thinking that only the Khthons and Formorians were getting most of the love. Nice to see the Ysians getting, ahem, fleshed out.

Fancing sharing details for when we'll see our first Érainn miniature?

Time for something big....

I totally don't have a use for that, despite how badass that is.

That chainmail looks great.

And that's really taking "Girl Armour" to a whole new level

NSFW is an understatement: You can almost see her kidneys

That Jotun.... Is fantastic

Not a big fan on the execution of Mjagnir, actually.
The art looks a bit thicker in the middle. It gives him more of a squat, "thick" look. The sculpt looks to lean more towards muscularity, which enhances his height. I prefer the concept art on that one.
I feel like there's a huge error on the face, too. To me, he doesn't look like he's yelling intimidatingly. It looks like he's smiling or laughing gleefully. While I could see why you'd intend something like this to laugh gleefully while slaughtering others, the fact is that it looks like he's laughing at someone's joke and (for me) it ruins his face.

I'm also disappointed that his added armor pieces and clothing differ as much as they do from the concept art. It just looks to me like the artist and sculptor were on different pages on this guy, and the sculptor missed the mark.

Eric

The chainmail is so fine! It's amazing! Any finer and I'd think it was cloth!

All in all another great looking model.

Now that's a giant. Stunning. Looking forward to see what Ben comes up with.

Same goes for Alianne, though my only criticism would be she's a bit too big up front. Suggest a reduction on the future Melusine's.

Can I take it that the Brutes and Melusines are the Ysians more regular warriors, considering you mention Champions and Musicians? Shame you didn't produce a version of Alianne of how she'd appear in water, considering the various legends of the Melusines.

While I love Jotun, the Melusine swordswoman seems much too chesty to be an effective warrior. In general, athletic females have smaller busts, so the Melusine just looks ridiculous and pornographic. She is probably the worst model in the line so far.

Sorry to be such a downer,

_Tim?

According to the fluff it makes sense that she's rather titillating.

...

That being said, yeah, physics + swinging that sword = 3 Melee Weapons.

AmIright? *nudgenudgewinkwink*

...alright I'm done with that.

Sorry, but that's a swing and a miss.

I've been a big fan of the Bane-* releases so far, but that one does not fit the range. I have no problem with the nudity (although I'm a bit puzzled by what appears to be a g-string at the back, with nothing covering the front...) when it's well executed, but the over-large, fake-looking boobs and the spaghetti-string hair out this one firmly in the 'nope' basket.

The big troll fellow is lovely, though.
