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

I have to agree here.

Me three.

I don't much care for the breasts being large for the sake of being large, but if the rest of the model was put together well I could forgive it. Unfortunately, the centerpiece of the model is her hair, which looks a bit like she got mashed out of the play-doh fun factory.

**SlaveToDorkness**

I don't like either of them.

Big chest big lips ya....Boobies... :-P

The giant looks too clean. The cloth strips are very shallow detail and the dreads look terrible. Also the bones on his belt seem very symmetrical.

**Agamemnon2**

Goddamnit, that naked woman is a hideous throwback, in both sculpt quality and the overall attitude it shows off.

**Nagashek**

Honestly I wouldn't mind a unit of mixed shape females. Ones with more willowy figures or smaller breasts being fully nide, the larger women being wrapped (for balance if for no other reason.) But that's just me, I like all kinds of girls.

**AlexHolker**

I would have no problem with the model if it looked good. Unfortunately it does not look good.

**Johnny-Crass**

I may have to buy the set of brutes though, does anyone know if there will be a 4th?

**Scottywan82**

Have to agree as well. Just seems garish. Honestly my complaint is that it's ugly. I'm all about every female figure being super-model-esque. After all, it's fantasy, right? All the dudes are chiseled looking. But that one seriously is NOT good.

**MeanGreenStompa**

It's principally a bad sculpt, it's also a bad sculpt of a fairly silly concept and the pose is weird to boot.

Not good.

**Baragash**

I love your stuff guys, but I think that is the one model in your range that I wouldn't even consider getting.

**Hoarmurel**

I like the ogre/giant, but the girl is really bad sculpted, is clearly under the level of other miniatures of this brand.

**plastictrees**

The girl is a hack job. Looks like a bad Malifaux sculpt.
Everything else aside how is that hair acceptable on a "professionally" sculpted model??

**skarsol**

"If we make the boobs big enough, we'll sell enough of them to make a profit regardless of how the rest of the mini looks, so don't spend much time on it."

**Chemical Cutthroat**

Well, all you have to do is look at the Most Popular Tags over on Cool Mini Or Not and you'll see what is searched for the most.

I read it to people out loud for a laugh. But really it makes me sad on the inside.

So it's one not-so-good model. I definitely think the rest of the line more than makes up for that. They have some incredible sculpts, and their beasts are honestly some of the coolest Minis (if you can call them that) on the market. Real top notch stuff, balls and all.

I'm okay with just calling it not up to snuff with the rest of their quality. Constructive criticism is one thing, but sculptors have feelings too.

I know exactly what feelings this scultor had when sculpting these Banebreasts

Bristol free painty goodness spotted. All I can say is Shaaroc just made my must have list:

Holy hell that four legged monstrosity looks awesome!

**Dysartes**

I thought he looked nice before, but with that paint job he looks awesome

**Buzzsaw**

I had to look up that 4-legged guy, I either missed him when first announced or forgot him; he's Shaaroc, and pretty damn awesome looking. Not sure he's worth what I can get him for in the US ($86.99 courtesy of the Warstore), but then again, I'm already starting to try and find a use for him!

**Maelstrom Games**

At Salute 2012 (wargames show in London UK) this weekend we'll be discounting the entire BaneLegions range at 20% off rrp - we'll also have limited amounts of some pre-release minis up to July's releases so you can get to see (and buy) some cool stuff a couple of month's early!

We'll be cash only this year as our card reader is on the blink (boo!) - but there's plenty of cashpoints in the Excel concourse for you card-only junkies!

We'll be at stall TD20 which is here

See you there!

Automatically Appended Next Post:

We will also have pre-release minis available this weekend (again, very limited on stock) up to two months ahead of release. Here's a sneaky peek at some of them!

**Hekal Xul**

Very impressed with S.S's new Svrill, Wielder of Khthon sculpt. Much better than the artwork imo. Less shabby looking "Pan-handler of Cadwe - will point stick for food-" more "counts as Ophidian". Will certainly be waiting for this to appear as Banebits (tail section especially) and speaking of which, how long till the Banebeasts are listed? Very interested in the Lion body parts from the Ungefelic, Mantichora set.

**HoverBoy**

Hear ye hear ye!

While I love this model (the sack on his head is kick-ass!), why does he have 8 abs? It's a 6-pack, not an 8-pack.

Or is he just that mutant?

You need to look at some bodybuilding sites, the abs can appear as many more than 6 sections-10 pack not unusuall.

**Kroothawk**

The blunt-claw miniature reaches a new level of perversion. We should think of adding spoiler tags to certain pics and a general NSFW warning to the title.

**Scottywan82**

At least that one makes (some, I guess) sense, unlike the previous topless figure.

**Nagashek**

I'd paint the body up like a very badly made up woman, with smeared lipstick and eyeliner, like the rat beast carted her around like a doll and liked to dress her up in pretty things he takes as his spoils.

All humans have 8 packs naturally, it's just that the 6 pack is much more easily obtained and the additional 2 abdominal sections required for the 8 pack are often not worked.
Also I've never heard of a 10 pack, could you post a pic? I could see it being a genetic defect, because I know that humans only have 8 abdominal sections hahaha

Kind Regards,

Kadamastar: It's a crocodile. I think I'd just go looking for something like this and add my own spikes.

Blunt-Claw: I've got no problem with female nudity in general, but mangled and crucified on a naked ratman's standard? Ew.
