Chairman Aeon Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Miniatures as is more than one with repeating crossbows. They've become a new favourite of mine these days and the Dark Legacies setting I'm getting into uses them a lot. Iain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Adcock Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 More Egyptian God statues. I'm using the newer Stone Golem, with some small modifications, as a Statue of Ptah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Adcock Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 A second Frost Giant pose would be greatly appreciated. I need a total of two different Frost Giant males for my diorama based on Robert E. Howard's "The Frost-Giant's Daughter" -- I've got Angus Stormhand for Conan, the Ice Queen as Atali, but I need two nordic-looking giants. Great minds think alike, Brother.....I'm doing a diorama on that scene, too. I'm also using Angus Stormhand for Conan, and the Frost Giant(duh ).....I'm going to attempt to convert the Fire Giant into the second Frost Giant, and I'm using Alura the Succubus for Atali(minus the wings). Hope it turns out OK. I plan on taking it to Howard Days this summer and entering it in the silent auction held to raise money for upkeep on the Howard House. I'm actually thinking now I might convert the IWM's Ral partha Frost Giant. It's more barbaric-looking than the Reaper Frost Giant. And I really like the idea of Alura as Atali. Wasn't there a dancing girl, Jade of the Veils, a while back who'd also work? Someday, I will get to Howard Days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexxenhammer Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Speaking of giants... I'm about to run "Against the Giants" and I can't find Stone Giant minis anywhere. No one has any. We need Stone Giants. And another Frost and Fire giant pose. And some Cloud giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe use the Reaper as the Frost Giant Jarl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Adcock Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 I don't know how big it is (presumably smaller than the Reaper one, or else in a pose easier to cast?) but even if it's smaller than the Reaper one, that's fine by me, because Two-Gun Bob didn't specify their heights, he just said they were giants. The Biblical Goliath is generally depicted nowadays as being about thirty feet tall, but he's described as 9 cubits and a span -- about ten feet tall. To scale, he'd be a little bigger than a 54mm figure. Conan made the Frost Giants a lot more aerodynamic in a handful of paragraphs - presumably, then, they weren't too much bigger than Goliath. Smaller giants will fit better on a CD, anyways, without crowding. (I can swipe all the free AOL mailer CDs I want from work - there's always a big stack of them on the magazine rack in the hallway, and if three or four find their way into my bag, nobody's the wiser!)

Moderator Froggy the Great Posted December 27, 2004 Moderator Share Posted December 27, 2004 We need 15mm-tall frogmen in a variety of poses, and a more regal-looking 30mm frogman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Hi all. New to the boards. The mini that I would most like to see made next would be for the L5R line, specifically a female pirate from the Mantis Clan...simple trousers and shirt, sash, kama either in each hand or tucked in her sash, barefeet, long hair.

Bill_Adcock Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 A giant ape-man -- about 40-50mm tall, grotesquely overmuscled, very hairy though not as hairy as an ape, longer legs than an ape, with longer arms than a man, monkey feet, a tail, a crude kilt (like what the Neanderthal Champion is wearing) and carrying a primitive double-handed cleaver. We've got miniatures of Thor, Hercules, and statues of Anubis and Bast that could be painted to represent the gods, now how about more gods? A few ideas from the peanut gallery: the Aztec god of the underworld Mictlantecuhtli and his wife, Mictecacihuatl, perhaps packaged together -- a lovely couple, their skin stretched tight over their bones, with huge staring eyes and grinning like maniacs. His liver should be dangling freely. Maybe have him standing and her kneeling. Athena, with a helmet, spear, shield, and owl. Zeus, looking very cranky and holding a thunderbolt like a javelin, about to throw it. Odin, with a spear and a raven on his shoulder. Beowulf, mentioned by Tommy the Skip, would be cool too. Maybe Perseus, with winged sandals and holding Medusa's head in one hand. How about a Minotaur in sandals and Greek garb, not holding any axes or clubs or anything, but bare-handed. Kali from Hindu mythology would be cool as well, but since that's a faith that's still practiced by millions, maybe that wouldn't go over too well.

primeval Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Bill, Eastern Front is going to be releasing an Odin like you described, but I think he is pretty big, more like 54mm. They are doing several god and demon types that are larger than character figures. Also, in regards to your Frost Giant request for your diorama, I just got a commission to do a scene from the story too! Between you, me, and lionmane we could have our own forum for scenes from "The Frost Giant's Daughter" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Adcock Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 I've seen their Neptune. He's like 100mm tall, $20 at the War Store. Of course, between my tiny disposable income, and the fact that I just started dating this girl, it may be some time before I get to pick him up. Priorities and all that...yeah, I know, I'm a bad wargamer, have my priorities all screwed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
