It sure looks crazy, new Eden mini, it has some potential for the display mini, plus it has some Empire vibe, I mean for the 9th edition

Why does he need two dudes for securing his legs?

It's hard to tell if they are putting on his armor or just fawning over him. In any case that is one seriously disturbing miniature.

I have been to the Kingdom Death miniatures website - this doesn't phase me.

For what it's worth, my first thought was that they were putting his armor on, which I thought was an odd pose for a gaming mini, who should probably be suited up before the battle. Fawning seems like it would be less awkward (if only slightly so.)

Proper fawning should be made up front.

Looks more like the minions are keeping him from collapsing during his delirious incantations, judging by the oddly bent left leg.

At first I thought that was an angry child with a crossbow. Halfling works better. Really a nice sculpt in that context.

For some reason the Kingdom Death stuff doesn't bother me.

I'm honestly not "bothered" by any of it, and I think a lot of it is quite good. I just think some of their critters are a lot more bizarre than that priest/Krang.

Getting that halfling for sure when it is released!

I am bothered by all humanoid figures which look like they can't wipe their own butts. That's my yardstick.

You use a stick, from the yard, to wipe your butt?!!? What else do you use it for?

FROSTGRAVE Fantasy Wargames in the Frozen City

We are officially announcing now the next project between North Star and Osprey Games.
It's called Frostgrave, and it's a fantasy wargame set in a frozen city.
Here's Ospreys description
of the game:

FROSTGRAVE Fantasy Wargames in the Frozen City

In this fantasy skirmish wargame, wizards battle amidst the frozen ruins of an ancient city, in the hopes of discovering the treasures of a fallen empire.
Players take on the roles of wizards from one of ten schools of magic, and build their bands of followers. While the wizard's apprentice will usually accompany his master, more than a dozen other henchmen types are available for hire, from lowly thugs to heavily armoured knights and stealthy assassins.

Wizards can build their magical knowledge by unlocking ancient secrets, with the potential to learn up to 80 different spells. As players gain power and wealth, they can develop their headquarters on the outskirts of the city, turning basic locations into bastions of their art and equipping them with alchemical laboratories, mystical forges, astronomical telescopes and other magical resources.
While individual games of Frostgrave are quick and can easily be played in an hour or two, it is by connecting these games into an ongoing campaign that players will find the most enjoyment. The scenarios given in the book are merely the beginning of the limitless, thrilling adventures that can be found amidst the ruins of the lost city.
FROSTGRAVE Fantasy Wargames in the Frozen City The release date is July 2015

We will be producing a range of metal wizards and apprentices, 20 in all, for the game. We will also be making metal specialist soldiers, and for the first time ever, a box of plastic figures. The plastic figures titled Frostgrave Soldiers will allow you to build your own customised henchmen to explore Frostgrave. More details to follow of course, at the moment we're showing a Wizard a day on our Facebook page, make sure you have a look.
The release date is July 2015
The big thing to look out for in May is the Nickstarter pre-order program for Frostgrave, lots of great stuff exclusively for you guys who get in early.

@ FROSTGRAVE: The miniatures don't impress me to be honest.

Has anyone heard any news about the Pro Gloria / Warlord Games plastic Landsknechts lately? It has become awfully quiet. I have checked their facebook site and their forum, but there hasn't been a single update regarding them so far.

Midaski · « **Reply #2639 on:** April 14, 2015, 04:47:55 PM »

If I remember I'll ask on their stand at Salute - I have them bookmarked for a visit.

Frostgrave: not bad aaand metal

These minis would certainly make sense in the 40k faction, sci-fi civilians, once the kickstarter finishes:

I just asked about them and it looks like they will not be sent for tooling for at least a year and only a portion of what was originally planned will be released. Fewer figures and fewer options.

Yeah I know. Still, I think the one year thing is from the point where they acquired the figures so part of that time is run. It's a damn shame Pro Gloria didn't get these out on their own.

Midaski · « **Reply #2645 on:** April 16, 2015, 08:11:16 AM »

I quite like this one - would fit with my Sisters

Have you not read what she has on her scroll, though? That's just rude!

commandant · « **Reply #2647 on:** April 16, 2015, 02:05:06 PM »

except the scroll os kinda floating in the air under her hand, like she dropped it

Timbor · « **Reply #2648 on:** April 17, 2015, 01:51:50 AM »

Apparently it is supposed to be floating.

ZeroTwentythree · « **Reply #2649 on:** April 17, 2015, 04:02:04 AM »

Magic! Go figure.

I do like that figure.

Disappointing about the ~~Pro Gloria~~ Warlord landsknechts. Not that it will take a while to hit the market, I don't mind that. More disappointed at the more limited kit.
