Razig and his crew were, unlike the other factions, all and strictly about the dead dudes - think Pirates of the Caribbean. Nefsokar was more mixed - everything has a very strong Nile river valley theme to it (pharaohs and alligator monsters, animal-headed avatars and scorpion-men and mummies... lots of mummies), and more than one figure bears a striking resemblance to some of Eddie's more Egyptian appearances. I'm wondering if this isn't the influence that Reaper is drawing from - if not a direct linkage to the Nefsokar, than similar lineage of inspiration.

While I wouldn't complain if Reaper were to tone down the skulls a bit, Reaper's skulls are generally placed appropriately. By way of comparison, though, if you bought a birthday cake from GW it would be skull-shaped with skull-shaped candles burning skull-like flames and emitting skull-smoke. It would be served on a skull-plate, eaten with skull-spoons/forks, served with skull-flavored ice cream. And you'd eat it off a skull-table while sitting on skull-chairs in a skull-room. 2 1 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping for a wow there. I'm in the same position. There's no 'must have' for me at the moment, but if Hakir contains enough then I may be in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaper puts melons on anything that is female. Reaper does like their skulls and undead. Won't really put them on figures that they have no place being on. 6 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So an orange dragon it is! 😂 I think you’re thinking of Charizard. Orange with blue wing membranes. Someone on discord posted a great Narthrax or Kyphrixis as Charizard. Dragonite is more of a tan/yellow color, IIRC. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the influences, but the sculptor is the same. Julie Guthrie did most of the Nefsokar faction, and the wall and column has her look and feel to it. Very likely her husband Bob Ridolfi is involved, as he usually does both skeletons and terrain pieces. They did the huge Dragons Don't Share pieces (dragon and castle) and Bob's done several sarcophagi, crypts and altars with similar textures. 7 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charizard is a somewhat darker orange, though the coloration is not all that different. I really wish I didn't know that, or that I had no idea what we are talking about, but I have kids and here we are. 4 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish I didn't know that, or that I had no idea what we are talking about, but I have kids and here we are. My youngest (8) thinks the owlbears in the encounter set are the different evolutions of a pokemón. The chubs evolve into the adult, and the totem is the final EX form. It’s a ground/fighting type, apparently. I told him it’s an owlbear, and he nodded sagely with a finger to his lips. His assent is magnanimous. I’m getting two, so I can paint one how _I_ want. His is gonna be blue or orange or something. 6 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
