Great news!

I'm always on board for some of Tre's work. These barbarians look great as usual. Looking forward to the KS.

OK I have been at it this morning trying to get it right.

What do yo uguys think? Don't spare my feelings! I cannot correct problems I do nto see!.

I have no negative comments - what you've done so far is really great.
However I was wondering if you have a copy of this book:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Anatomy-Horse-Dover-Artists/dp/0486234029/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1401305374&sr=1-1&keywords=george+stubbs+anatomy

Not sure how I missed the previous ones, but this looks awesome. Certainly loving the previous up armoured guys, really liking these new ones too.

This horse looks so much better.

I agree, I like this horse better. One constructive criticism regarding the horses from the prior campaign was they were a little too static. For example, compared to the WIP model on the left of this pic:


I also think bubber's linking to the book may be his thinking the musculature could use to stand out a bit more? I agree with that, rather than having a bit of a doughy/chubby horse.

Can't wait to see where you take it, hope the above is helpful since you were asking for feedback . I really like the horse armature you have posted above.

Thanks yall!


Well whislt I was waiting for the armature to cure I decided to make good use of my time and VOILA!!!

Craven....this is the first of three Helsvakt Archers planned.



New Gynnade troops.....1 of 3 or 4 planned. Thes won;t be as modular and won't cost me as much money to produce.

If I may, maybe this would be a good idea to have in mind for horses of barbarian cavarly

Thanks Corgan! Yeh the Drune were pretty bad ass eh?

Good News!!

Kickstarter Campaign is approved! I am now just going over the details once more to make sure that everything is worded properly and that the pledge descriptions make sense. I should be launching later today.

That is good news may have to drop another ks to back this if the shippings fair.

Shipping is as low as we can get it for both international and domestic and it is included in each pledge level.

Cheers Tre, do we have a countdown to start

Bless you, Tre! Less logistics for all, I really prefer to pay my shipping with my pledges

Launched!!

...and pledged.

Dumb question Tre.

How big would these guys be in comparison to those Bugbears you did for Reaper? Comparable?

Pledged also!!

Tre's reaper stuff is larger than his red box games stuff. Hands and heads especially.

Tre,

you should edit the first post to change the title to show the KS has launched

(or maybe one of the MODs if they're feeling generous ?)

Generous indeed!

Title updated and link inserted into first post!

Highlord........ Well these guys are noticably smaller than the bug bear, being that the Bugbear is huge even by Reaper standards

Thanks Yall!

Fair enough. Bugbear's are supposed to be big anyways, so maybe that wasn't a good comparison.

I just can't seem to get a handle on human figures. I don't really have too many- just some of the female figures Reaper's done in their Bones line.


Other than that, I've got some of Mierce's Ysians, and that's about as human as the bulk of my collection gets (outside of the few random dudes in power armor of various sorts).

Would they be a close approximation size- wise?

I really like the guys when they have the full helm, not so keen on the bare heads but that's just style preference than a reflection of the sculpting because I think both versions are well done.

Any chance of the Heroes having alternative head pieces?

All praise the wise and generous Alpharius (wonders what the hidden master plan is......)

Isn't generous a contraction of "General Grievous"?

Well I'm in for two sets, really hoping we get at least those two heroes!

I'd like another weapon option for the infantry weapon sprue. A hammer or something. I might be in for 2 or 3 sets, 50/50 at this point.

Thanks everybody!

There will be a hammer weapon option on the sprue. The weapon options will be 2 swords, 2 axes, 1 mace, and 1 hammer and perhaps 2 spears if I can figure out how to make them work on the figures and sprue. I had considered sprues for each weapon type but that just creates a nightmare for cost and fulfillment management.

As long as all those helmets are closed off and I don't have to paint any eyes, I'm golden!

Sounds like we'll have plenty of weapon choices to play with!

It sounds like each set of 6 comes with 3 closed helmets and 3 open, will it be possible to get all closed helms?
