"1/72 exotic Orcs, Dwarves, Elves and Humans" Topic

Hello community, following the post: link i wanted to share the full 4 factions sculpted for 1/72 or 1/58 scale (we will produce them in 1/72 firstly).

More pictures and info here:

Dwarves

Orcs

Elves

Humans

Creatures and commanders comming next! :)

I LOVE these guys, but 1/72 is just not my scale currently. Will eagerly await the 1/58 versions! But this is completely fantastic stuff and a welcome departure from the norm.

I have no questions about making different figures than the typical. I am curious about why call them dwarves, orcs, and elves.

Oh, I see you have your own names for them, too. Do you use the other names just to give people some connection to familiar things? I don't see the attraction of taking things from one folklore / literature of one area and plopping it somewhere else with a change of seasoning. But I could also see that people might not respond at all to "Akkinian" and "Uyghur", so maybe that's why the link to tropes?

They look great!

I will say this. In 1/72 scale, why not keep it more familiar? There is a relative dearth of fantasy figures in 1/72 scale as opposed to 28mm.

Also, why not horses? Seem most are riding draft animals or large wolves.

Nice sculpts! To be honest, though, they all look too much alike to me -- spears, pointy helmets, and round shields. I'd consider taking the helmets off the elves and making them thinner and taller; adding Viking-ish horns to one faction's helmets; changing at least one faction's shields to an oval and another to a Tudor-style drop point; modifying one faction's spears into glaives or ranseurs; and so on. Otherwise, it will be difficult to tell them apart on the table other than by color scheme.

Taking other comments in consideration we may choose making them in 28mm first.

Joker: there will be generic horses option for the all riders :)

That warms my heart to hear.

That saddens my heart.

I guess you have to go where the business is though. I do understand.

Yes, is that, as you said about "making them more familiar", right now making "exotic" models and, in a different scale, would be a very strong hard to swallow "meal" if you get the point.

That is why, what has to be "familiar" in first place, is the scale.

That is why i made nordic humans, they were the "familiar" faction", but i wanted to make the rest "special"

So, with earnings by selling the 28mm versino, we will ivnest in the 1-72 version.

At the same time we will be selling the 3D files of the showed model, meaning that anyone with a 3d printer or that knos how to send to print 3d files to sites like shapeways or i.materilise, will be able to print them in any scale!

The norse humans have already been molded in 1/72 tho! :D

For our upcoming crowdfunding campaign in October -that will help fund the production of the 28mm troops of 4 factions- we found that it would be interesting to sculpt and offer as addon (and freebies) a set of cult/religion 3D printable terrain, relative to each faction..

We started with the classical "viking" humans, but there will be a set of arabian (hassim dwarves), persian/assyrian ( akkyri elves) and mongolian (uyghurd orcs) terrains.

And of course, with each set of terrain: a Priest! to acompain the warriors and bless them (or buff) before going to battle and defend the homeland!

3D printable "cult place" terrain set for the Hassimi dwarves!

and priest:

Here i made the "Akkirian" Priest/Channeller + the "cult place" (steles) , a faction that clearly has assyrian references:

Front view

Perpective:

As the humans stone/rune, the Akkirians stele tells the same story, the back face of the stele has the tree of life representation.

Salutes! :)

The Uyghurd orcs have their cult place and priest/shaman :)
