Gentlemen,

Below are some fine miniatures sculpted by TMP's Whiffwaff. [Cheering and shouts of 'Whiffwaff rocks!' can be heard in the background]

What poses and equipment would be useful ?

They both look excellent!

For both, it would be great if there was a variant using a heavier weapon.

Redroom02 May 2009 2:42 p.m. PST

I would add some running and aiming poses. They look great

StarfuryXL502 May 2009 3:05 p.m. PST

Whiffwaff wocks!

In regards to the armored troopers. Much like Ivan, I would like to see one or two heavy weapons and some form of officer. Everyone has their own ideas about how to package groups of minis for sale, but you could do them individually if necessary.

For the desert raider, more poses, but also maybe some form of special weapon. Something generic that could be used for a net gun of scatter gun etc would be nice. If these sell well, a lizard rider or two would also be welcome.

Thanks a lot for working on these,

Jeff

How about some sort of a bug raider ? ;)

Works for me since my Spugs need Allies.

More cowbell . . .

JRacel03 May 2009 7:48 a.m. PST

More cowbell . . .

Now stop that with your SNL references . . . . we are having a very serious discussion about little tiny metal people and hope that you would show some respect! grin

Jeff

Ravens Forge Miniatures03 May 2009 8:44 a.m. PST

Oh, sorry, didn't realize this was a very serious discussion about little tiny metal people!

I will say that the first fig looks like an original BSG cylon, and I'd like to see them in firing poses and advancing poses, also with close combat weapons.

The second might be reminiscent of tusken raiders, and I would like to see them in the same poses as above.

Heavy weapons would be cool too.

Plus more cowbell and possibly an amp that goes to 11!

Sorry, feeling a little silly today – perhaps too much rain and mildew in the brain, or perhaps I was struck by lightning and didn't realize it. We are on our third straight day of thunderstorms here!

That desert raider could use some practical things: shovel, backpack, good old fashioned radio set, metal detector… that sort of thing would make for a useful mysterious ally.

Henry V03 May 2009 9:26 a.m. PST

Some 15mm troopers armed with laser cats would be really nice.

Pole Bitwy PL03 May 2009 9:42 a.m. PST

Laser cats Henry V ?!?!

Henry V03 May 2009 9:45 a.m. PST

Another SNL reference PL. laugh

But seriously those sculpts are really nice.

Pole Bitwy PL03 May 2009 10:55 a.m. PST

Ravens Forge 'Not BSG Cylon' ? He looked familiar to me… I was thinking rather 'Not Clone Trooper'…

All the better, as the saying goes two greys with one stone. :D

J Womack 9403 May 2009 11:44 a.m. PST

They both look great. I am more partial to the desert raider, personally.

Kinda looks like a Fremen, if ya ask me.

Need an officer type, replete with handgun and scimitar or saber. Also, more poses of basic infantry: advancing, firing, and charging. I'm not super-keen on kneeling or prone figures. A special weapon would be good, too, maybe some sort of squad automatic.

The bug rider idea is a neat one, but you'd have to be very careful of that stinger… a worm rider would be good, too.

Ravens Forge Miniatures03 May 2009 12:08 p.m. PST

Pole – I was thinking clone trooper, but then I went and looked up Cylon and found this:

Missing the skirt and has some additional armor, but still a good sculpt either way.

jwomack – Fremen? Maybe so – I hadn't thought about that.

I still think they need more cowbell!

JRacel03 May 2009 12:35 p.m. PST

I was thinking BSG bad guys, but wanted to not say the IP infringing name since some take offense. I have plans for them in silver and gold!

Jeff

Pole Bitwy PL03 May 2009 1:41 p.m. PST

Fremen, now why didn't I think about that :D

JWomack, the bug stinger is being reworked into a beam 'shooting' weapon as you can see in the following image, but there is going to be another, at least twice as long tail with multiple weapon choices [pincer, stinger or some sort of bug acid squirt weapon].

The 'Fremen' could also herd the floaters into combat…

Ivan DBA04 May 2009 6:28 a.m. PST

I'm not keen on the bug, but the floaters are cool.

Pole Bitwy PL04 May 2009 8:08 a.m. PST

On the other hand, the evil Fremen ;) could have summoned a horrific living space anomaly…

Cheers OttoMunoz,

You will find them very soon on my website at polebitwy.pl, but send me an email [ sztab@polebitwy.pl ], so I will be able to post you a sample, once I receive them from the caster.

For the desert raiders, I would like some some savage attack poses as well as skulking ambush poses (also useful for scouts, command, etc). Would it be possible to do a rider without a beast so that players could mount then on whatever they wished?

For the trooper, some troopers with rifles and in neutral poses would be cool.

Hope these are still in the pipeline!!!

Pole Bitwy PL11 Jun 2009 3:34 a.m. PST

RighteousRude: Still planned for production. Currently awaiting weapons and other add-ons. July and latter, they will be joined by several specific vehicles.

Thanks !
