No offence taken, bob. Though perhaps I should have do an urban dictionary check on the name!

RAR! Here's the barbarian for my group of fantasy adventurers. This is the 3D print and it will be going off for moulding shortly. The other characters are printed too. I'll get some photos of the wizard taken soon, though the dwarf and elf will have to wait as I can't assemble the prints due to parts being on sprues. These figures will be going on sale after the Pulp Alley and Statuesque Asylum figures, so hopefully around February. He's a big bugger; unashamedly 'heroic scale' and around 33mm tall.

He really reminds me of the Barbarian from Warhammer Quest.

Honestly, I think he's just a bit too heroic in proportions. His leg -to-torso ratio looks similar to a Mantic dwarf. The bridge of his nose also seems to blend directly into the slope of his forehead, and his entire cranium can fit in his mouth.

I love the pose, the expression and the clean sculpting style, but I wouldn't buy this model for anything above Reaper Bones pricing.

I think it's constructive criticism. Andrew might just not be sculpting to Bob's taste. I find him charming, in a "hockey enforcer way before his time" type of way.

I'm not trying to be mean. I was trying to offer constructive criticism. I'm just not good at sparing other people's feelings, apparently. I've commented on his other sculpts, too, as I am interested in his fantasy range...provided changes are made. Obviously I'm not in his target demographic. However, with the true-scale "Red Box" revolution in fantasy minis, I really appreciate his embrace of heroic scale, although I might just prefer it wasn't a rib-crushing bear hug. And I really am a fan of his clean-lined sculpting style and his characters' expressions. I guess I'm trying to nudge him towards sculpting minis perfect for my consumption, and it's coming across as badgering.

I'll just bow out if that's what you would prefer.

Absolutely not - comment away!

I have to say, you at least do it, as you note, constructively!

Indeed, constructive criticism is always appreciated.

These fantasy figures certainly won't be to everyone's tastes and I gleefully ignored any concessions to 'realistic' human proportions. It was worth it if only for the fun I had sculpting them!

The Barbarian is my least favourite of the 4 heroes. I would go as far to say I don't like it but the other 3 characters are drool worthy.

And here's the wizard:









As I said, the Dwarf and Elf will have to wait as I can't assemble the prints for photographing.

Would anyone be interested in alternative parts for these figures? I'm thinking I could sculpt 'leveled up' parts- the wizard could get a new head and staff, the barbarian a new sword and perhaps a shield in his other hand, the elf a new bow and the dwarf a new axe and shield. Each part could represent a special item found on a quest or an advancement of the character.

I really like both the barbarian and the wizard. They have a very strong style to them, a clean - almost cartoony aspect that I find pleasing.

I'm hoping to get them on sale around February. There's a bit oaf production backlog but I'm trying to get through it assoon as possible.

@alpharius: elf and dwarf, check.



There will definitely be female characters though I haven't settled on a class or design yet.

These look superb together as a group. The designs work beautifully along side each other. Ready to go down into a dungeon exploring.

Statuesque Miniatures is pleased to announce the release of the a couple more accessory sprues for the Resistance Fighter range.



The Veteran Heads sprue can be used to give more individuality and character to your Resistance Fighter force. As with all the head sprues, these heads can be used on any figure in the Reistance Fighter range and a fully poseable.



The Resistance Fighter Veteran Head sprue is priced at £1.90. Purchase 2-3 sprues for £1.75 each or 4 or more sprues for only £1.60 each!

The Weapons 3 sprue allows the Resistance Fighters access to the latest S.O.E. weapon technology. Featuring three Combi-Rifles with integrated grenade launchers and a deadly flame thrower, this sprue is designed for use with the Resistance Fighters, Resistance Cell Officer and Resistance Recon sets. For greater conversion potential, these weapons have the stocks attached. Simply snip off the stock to use the guns with the Resistance Fighter figures.



The Resistance Fighter Weapons 3 sprue is priced at £2. Puchase 2-3 sprues for £1.85 each or 4 or more sprues for only £1.70 each!

For a limited time only you can get BOTH these sprues FREE when you purchase the Resistance Cell set, saving over 15% on the combined price! This offer will run until January 5th or while stocks last.



Not only that, you can also purchase 5 sets of Beret Heads or 5 sets of Officer Weapons for only £5, with even more savings for purchasing multiple sets! Again this offer runs until 5th of January or while stocks last.

Finally, Ezmeralda Tyke have come over all Christmasy (she is an elf after all) and can be purchased at a price of only £3! Get her while you can as she is being discontinued once stocks run out.

Very characterful heads! You must have been a hairstylist at some point in your career

Did I miss an announcement about a release on the heroic scale heads?

Sorry Skarsol, the castings only arrived yesterday and I had to get them assembled and photographed before I could get them on sale.

I do quite enjoy doing different hairdos. The heroic heads are next in the production queue. There's quite a backlog but I'm trying to get through it as quickly as possible.

I love the patch w/ beret and the peaked cap. They are great for characters. I also love the implied ethic diversity, especially in the hair. Those guns are also beautiful in their simplicity and functionality. Would the heads and guns fit on WGF women or Russians?

You know he's got one hell of a post-nasal drip.


To be fair, I'd rather run into him than Lillie Poots. You just know she has that creepy child's singing voice.

"Ring around the rosie."

Put my order in, and it's already marked as being shipped. Very quick turn around. Looking forward to receiving it here in Australia. I think these will be excellent for my Ariadna Khazak force. All female force, go!

No probs. Thanks for the order. Pics expected when the all female force is done!

A couple of folk who ordered between Christmas and New Year had to wait a bit longer than I'd like for their orders to be posted - I had to make an unscheduled trip to the DIY store in order to fix some walls. On the plus side, I can now plaster a lath wall! Level up man skills.

A big box has arrived from across the Atlantic and all the Pulp Alley products have now been restocked.

I know a few people have been waiting on the Fortune Deck so now is your chance. I don't imagine we'll sell out quite as quickly as before but best be sure and make an order now!
