I am not sure if it belongs here but as it is still from CB I will leave it here unless mods will decide otherwise.

CB does fantasy? Ohh now this I want to see! Though seems like its an end of year product line so it will be al ong long marketing tease until them

Apparently they did and soon will be again. I remember seeing the brand over a decade ago but didn't pay attention to it. In fairness though, the same was true for me personally of Infinity for the most part as well pre-N3.

I don't remember the fantasy, but their sculpting has evolved a lot over the years to. Some of the early Combined Army models just looked bad/uninteresting. some looked fantastic and still do today, heck most of Aleph looks great and much of that is still first generation or near enough.

But CA have come a long long way so I'd be really interested to see their take on fantasy.

I agree. While there were some figs that absolutely astounded me almost a decade ago when I first noticed Infinity, most have been redone better in the years since thankfully. The first fig that I remember noticing was this 2e PanO guy that I thought was a fantastic sculpt as an RPG character model. I'm not sure if he's been redone digitally in the years since.

If I remeber right they had a 15mm historical range, id have sworn they had a fantasy range too, before infinity took off.

Yeah, they did some fantasy models back in the day. This is unrelated, though. A friend is working on the setting, and he is quite excited, now that he can actually talk a bit about it ^^.

Yes, Romans, Iberians and other ancients in 15mm. The fantasy line was called WarCrow and was 28mm. You can find examples if you search.

Rumor is the Dungeon Crawler on KS will have the pvc plastic minis. Boo! The regular War Crow minis will be SioCast, or SioCast 2.0. If the minis are PVC, that is a discouragement to pledging for me.

Kirpal Singh was discontinued when the Acontecimento sectorial went "On Hiatus". I have the mini. It is very good. I'd like to see ASA return. I'd like to see QK return too. Ah well.

I don't see a problem in discussing the WarCorw news here, for now.

Quick notes from the Adepticon seminar:
-new stuff for TAG raid. Photos of actual miniatures.
-Raveneye discussion.
-Morat release schedule and previews including the new TAG the Bultrak
-ITS 13, "Frozen Roads" (...take me home, to the place where I belong...) preview with 3 SiCast minis. Fiddler, Sargosh (Jayth) and a Zeta TAG.
-New Code One Battlepack at GenCon with Haqqislam (Bahram) and ALEPH (Steel Phalanx). Okay, now I'm interested. This means all factions except the NA2 and Tohaa will be in Code One. So, next year will be the Year of the Tohaa. Ha-ha. or Ja-ja.
- For N4: - Mini previews; new Shinobu Kitsune, Wolfgang Wolff, Tian Guo (Yu Jing), yet another Uxia McNeill ( ), Bluecoat, Military Orders Curator (Machinist drop-in), Nokken, Karhu, New Marut (Nice mini)
-WarCrow announcement. Game release at GenCon 2023. Kickstarter this fall. I dunno about announcing this 1.5 years in advance of the game release, unless CB plans to release minis before the actual game, which would be cool. There is always a market for good fantasy minis.

Images are in the video, I didn't bother including them in the post.

I actually have a few of the old warcrow minis but they clearly show their age in terms of assembly and sculpts compared to what CB is doing now. Interested to see what comes of this.

I suspect they'll use the dungeon crawl KS to fund the initial sculpts and development.

I'll be interested to see their take on fantasy.

Me likes.

I fething love this company.

So much to look forward to here.

I’m definitely looking forward to seeing CB level designs but in fantasy.

I still have some of the original Warcrow minis. I kept the ones that stand up to other company’s standards. I’m kind of interested but just as wary. I’d love some stylized fantasy minis like the old Warcrow, but a lot of the modern digitally sculpted Infinity minis have left me cold.

Interested in seeing what the adventure game will be.

From the video, a LARP is a non-zero possibility.

I'm not digging the Mass Effect character with a cosplay sword, so I'll look for Valerya Gromoz instead(her real look shown).

As for Kitsune, totally loving the new look. Add a masked head as an optional accessory or an acrylic stand for her camo, and I'm sold!

New video explaining the nations of Lindwurm.

Lunar Moon Knight Humans Faction

Just As Planned Dwarf Faction

Wood Elves Who Bring Forest To You

Human/Orc/Half-Orc Vikings

Techno-Rome Of All Fantasy Races

…and something else probably a Big Bad From The Magic Fog

These cringe videos are not getting me excited for Warcrow...

These cringe videos are getting me super excited for Warcrow!

The videos thus far do not excite nor dissuade me.

It's nice that they're doing them - a sort of designer's notes, but the real "sell" will be the miniatures.

I think they are nice and funny enough, but yeah, miniatures will make it or break it.
If they are over the top like WH:AOS I'll pass.

And if they are bog standard like WFB I’ll pass. Can’t please everyone.

Lindwurm Map

Facebook link requires a login, and thus a facebook account. Maybe someone could post the image here for those of us who are not on FB?

It's nice to see that there are optometrists and opticians in Lindwurm. Even pointy eared people can get myopia. :p

It's rather... lame.

Geez... that map reminds me of the pics online where you're supposed to look at it and record what you see first (either an old man, a boat, or a woman under a bridge, etc) and it's supposed to tell you something about your personality. I think I found Waldo though.

Spoiler:

Danke. The colors, and much else, reminds me of Malifaux art. I guess that the swirlies represent water? It looks very much based on Europe, and surrounding lands, but it is missing the British Isles. Yawn. However, the game will be the thing. The map is really not important unless there is a RPG coming.

It's a made up map. What were you expecting, 80mg of MDMA directly into your veins?
