Chairman Aeon Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Figures in the style of anime/manga, with a particular nod to Hyung-Tae Kim. For those unable or unwilling to follow the link, the art is a mix of traditional fantasy with some modern sensibilities ... ie lacquered breastplate and pleated skirt. Might be better suited to the Master series line than Dark Heaven or Warlord. Iain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendercrazy Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 My creative juices are flowing as usual. :) I'm a huge fan of giants. Most mini companies tend to make the stereotypical versions of each subclass (i.e. hill, fire, frost, storm, cloud ect.) and stop there. I'd love to see more varied prestiege class styled giants (both male and female) like we see with player characters. For example... I can't say I've ever seen a mage spell casting giant or a rogue archer giant. This would be something my wallet would lose some green over! I'd also really love to see a killer take on a nightmare (steed). Flaming hooves, wicked arched leathery wings, wild mane, flared nostrils, grimacing muzzle and the evil eyes. The whole works. Two versions (like Sandra did with the Pegasus)... one standing and one reared back on it's hind legs. A running version would be cool too. :D I believe these would do well for you guys. I've a ton of original ideas too. I'm finally getting around to illustrating a few of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kheprera Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Definately the Nightmare, Hendercrazy. Could there be anything more evil than a foxhunt with Nightmare steeds and hellhounds? I second that! More familiar/normal animals: A parrot or large macaw (for the pirates, Yar!), Three-Toed Sloth (or even a Dire Sloth), mangy mutt type dog... And some more monsters, like a horse with curved dual horns (instead of the normal twisted unicorn horn), and claws instead of hooves, sharp pointy teeth, a short, cropped-style mane and a tail similar to that of a zebra. and a spider-legged goatskull, please?

Spike Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 How about sets of various sized and types of wheels for scratch-building one's own wagons or other rolling-stock? We don't always have the luxury of proper scale models to cannibalize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dargrin Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 How about sets of various sized and types of wheels for scratch-building one's own wagons or other rolling-stock? We don't always have the luxury of proper scale models to cannibalize. If charots and wagons are not possible I like this idea as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Dagger Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 How about doppelganger god minis? like doppel-Hades or doppel-Zeus or something like that? Minis in the form of gods etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodhi Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 How about Jenny Greentooth and other monstrositys that are less "fantasy" connected and more "Old midvives tales" - connected? A brownie or two would be favourite as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooseyjoe Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 How about some characters (or minis that look like them but aren't copyrighted) from everyone's favorite campy movies. the guys in leather and the vampires from beast master anything from willow various characters from the princess bride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Dagger Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Hey, In addition to latin gods, how about sirens? I would defientedly buy a mini like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abngi Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 More of a general preference than a specific model type: useable weapons. I would like to see bows that don't have the string going through the arm, swords for grunts that could actually be wielded, etc. I don't mind suspending some belief for the purposes of fantasy miniatures, but I also don't see a need to do so just for the sake of doing so.

skavenbabe Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 a male Gnome cleric. More gnomes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan Devalis Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Perhaps soem dwarven Battlerager-esque minis, female dwarves, and halflings or elves on dinosaurs. What can I say? I love some of the Eberron artwork! Thenm again feral elves and more female dark elves wearing ornate, but practical plate armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairman Aeon Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 More monster from antiquity (harpy, lamia, ...) Heck more heros from the Bronze age as well. Asian monsters. More pirates and swashbucklers of all races with guns. Iain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgmaranda Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 I think we always have a disparity for characters that are blemished. I don't see many barbarians that have scars (I know I could paint them but not all friends have the patience to do more than paint, dry brush, then wash). I also agree with people requesting weapons be closer to scale. As for actual specifics for characters: Dwarven short-bowmen. Dual wielding Dwarven Rangers Additionally (although the warlord line might alleviate this) Mounted heroes of both sexes and mixed classes. The warrior isn't the only person that rides a horse; I have played with a mean Mongolian-style halfling archer. Finally and it may sound silly but in terms of D&D characters their are people that occasionally play a gnome or halfling Barbarian. These small warriors are indeed underrepresented. Edit for clarification I am not only asking for gnome barbarians but small "standard race" warriors in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
