They aren't air bubbles - they are tiny pits/indentations/weathering on the scales that are present on the sculpt. Similar to the scales on the Rackham dragon actually (I have that mini in my collection )


Ah, perfect! I ha a feeling it would be something like that as I don't think I have seen a single imprefection on your models so far.

Heh, I have the Rackham dragon also, great sculpt!

Thanks for clearing that up!

Nice. Nice interview as well. Some highlights on the upcoming game's 'sides' for the work blocked

Banelegions wrote:
It should be noted here that each “race” has a number of “factions”, all of which will appear in the wargame, but upon first release only one “faction” from each “race” will be playable. (I'm inserting them in quotation marks because they won't be called such in the game, but it's inevitable that that's what people will call them). For example, the Anglian peoples also included the Northumbrians and the East Angles, but they are reserved for future productions, along with the Saxons, the Franks, the Dál Riatans, the Frisians... I could go on.

Anglians (Mercia) - residing in central Angle-land, the Mercians are led by their pagan king Penda the Bloody-Handed, who still believes in the old gods where other Anglians and Saxons believe in the new God, brought to them by the missionaries of Ilkolmkill. The power of Woden runs through the Mercians, and you can expect lots of wolves, bears and boars along with the Wild Hunt and the shape-shifters.

Brythons (Gwynedd) - from the north of Wales, the Kingdom of Gwynedd is ruled by Cadwaladr ap Cadwallon, the famous “Red Dragon” who boasted that he would kill every Saxon man, woman and child. Uneasy allies of the Mercians, especially since Cadwallon's death, Cadwaladr must protect his people from the marauding Northumbrians as well as the Fomorians and the Norse and his cousins the Ysians.

Albainn (Fortriu) - these guys are, essentially, the Picts, although they will only be known as such by the Byzantii. The north of what we call Scotland is their home and they revere the Oghu stones that power the earth and the sky, so much so that they carry them to battle. These guys are wild and savage, woad warriors that constantly defend their lands against pretty much everybody else.

Érainn (Uí Neíll) - the Irish, at least those Irish that oppose the advance of the Fomorians directly in a bloody conflict that could lead to their extermination or subjugation. Distracted by the sea devils, the Uí Neíll are also under attack from the Norse, the Brythons and the Atalantes, and many amongst them are shunning the cross and returning to the old ways of Eriu, the ways of the Fianna and the Earth Goddess.

Fomorians (Baalor) - the Fomorians are a declining, decaying race of sea creatures that subjugate humans and beasts alike to keep their flesh alive. Led by Baalor, the Eye in the Ice, from his island fortress at Toraigh in the northwest of Eriu, the Fomorians use fog and ice and snow as harbingers of their advance and delight in turning earth-bound men and beasts against their kin. Their aim is simple: to destroy the world above the water.

Norse (Scylfings) - you will know them as the Vikings of Scandinavia, and whilst it may seem a stretch to bring their raids forward a hundred and fifty years it actually isn't, for the Vikings did not suddenly explode upon the coast of northwest Europe; they were known of for hundreds of years beforehand. Composed of savage, wild warriors and the Jötnar (the Giants) who find themselves in an uneasy alliance, they are beginning to harass and raid the coasts of northwest Europe in their longships.

Ysians (Ker-Ys) - the Ysians are a degenerate, decadent race of Celts occupying what was known by the Romans as Armorica and Dumnonia - Brittany and Cornwall. In our setting, the city of Ker-Ys was built by the Cornish as they fled from the advance of the Saxons, but it has quickly become - under the Queen of Ker-Ys, Euryalia and her Drunes - a despicable place that worships the Horned God Kernunnos and creates all sorts of weird and wonderful creatures to extend their holdings in Frankia and beyond.

Byzantii (Legio II Var) - the immortal Emperor Constantine III of Byzantia (the eastern Roman Empire) covets the power and glory of his western ancestors and will stop at nothing to recover the lands and the strength the barbarians took from them. He believes that the Romanii were eclipsed because of their new found faith in the one God, and has allied himself with an even more powerful pantheon opposed to Him. Thus, the legionaries and demi-daemons and auxilia are marching north and west with nothing but conquest on their mind.

Atalantes (Ilioses) - The Atalantes reside on Atalantia, a land slowly crumbling into the sea around the northern Bay of Biscay in the Atlantic Ocean. The Atalantes are an ancient race of sea-farers and raiders with a long history of trade and war but they, like their lands, are crumbling and devolving and may soon return to where they originated; those still with their wits about them employ forbidden magic from the stars and unearthly weapons to keep their culture alive, but many believe their race is doomed - at least, upon Gæa.

Khthones (Gorgones) - The Khthones were once the slaves of the Atalantes (indeed, some still are) and they have taken their opportunity to revolt against their cruel masters in a fight for survival that can only end in destruction. A myriad of anthropomorphs created by the Atalantes from the abundant reptiles of Atalantia, the Khthones include the Gorgonars (man-snakes) led by the Gorgon known as Ophius, the Krokodars (man-crocodiles) and the Sávrars (man-lizards), among others.

Good news. This is the best time in the hobby. Full of promise. GW lets us down each time and we know it but secretly we're hoping that this is the edition that GW gives us a balanced game that can also be played competitively at tournaments. I'm loving it.

I'm a little late, but is it ever too late to complain?

I also don't like the new sword maiden releases - mostly the nakedness, oversized bust and the silly poses. I do own a lot of naked models, including the Wytchling from BaneLegions, but I'd never buy this, sadly.

Just like to say I was lucky enough to be show an actual glimpse of Daniel Cockersell sculpt of the Vore by Rob at Maelstrom Games... and it is absolutely fracking awesome looking thing. It exceeds the concept art by some margin I might add!

Also there's a chance to win one of the things over on my Blog:

No I'm afraid not. The reason I am able to offer the Vore miniature as a prize is because Rob Lane was kind enough to offer it as a prize. Rob asked me not to release pictures of the miniature before BaneLegions go public with it, and I'm going to honour my promise to him. I'm really sorry I can't share the picture I've seen, but I hope you can understand why I'm not willing to show it. I gave my word.

Thanks

Argh, don't tell us if you can't show the pic it's like teasing!

The Vore art does indeed look sweet... quite tempting if the model looks anything like it. Not sure what I'd do with it, but it's cool!!

Yeah sorry bout that

I just wanted to let people who liked the concept artwork that the finished product, at the very least, lives up to the original idea. You won't be disappointed when you see it. You won't have to wait too long to see it either as it's due to be announced on the BaneLegions website any day soon I believe. Not sure exactly when... BUT it is soon. It's a big bugger too from what I can gather!!!

bobilero,
The answer to your question is "yes" although "soon" is possibly a stretch too far. Sometime in 2012 for Tarvax, probably 2013 for Trolls.

SirAngry (and anybody else after a pic of the Vore),
BNB-027 - Blood-maw, Vore - will be unveiled on the 1st of June... a week on Friday. So not long to wait, really. If you think the Vore's awesome, just wait until you see Dan's next miniature for us. It will blow your minds. Hopefully...

Bizarrely (because the Vore is AWESOME), more exciting for me personally is Galhwch Lladd Llaw, Pendyndraig of Gwaelod, revealed on the 4th of June. Our first Dyndraig. If you know Welsh, you'll know what that means.

Even more bizarrely, that's my birthday ;o)

Wait until you see Ben Komets' work on Mjagnir, too!

There's some simply awesome miniatures and concepts coming. I am intending to do some previews - including showing concept art - and a general progress update at some point in June, so stay tuned...

Cheers

Rob

Sometimes we produce a miniature that is so incredible there are no words to do it justice. Suffice to say, Blood-Maw – drawn by Christophe Madura and sculpted by Dan Cockersell, his third masterwork for us after The Terror of Fortriu and Krull – is one of those miniatures. Enjoy…
