Title: Fantasy Monsters released!
Post by: Leon on 20 December 2020, 12:51:54 PM
As we trundle towards the end of what's been a pretty terrible year, we've got a few batches of shiny new releases to bring you a bit of Christmas cheer! 

First up we've got the initial wave of our Fantasy expansion, containing all of the big boys!  We've got Fire and Stone Giants, Storm and Plague Elementals, Forest Trolls, Blood Demons and Terror Birds!  These monster types are all big sculpts, coming in at between 25-32mm tall generally, so they'll work for all manner of Fantasy games outside of 10mm as well. 

And then.....  BEARS!  You've asked for them for years and they're finally here, in normal, armoured or saddled varieties.

Holiday?!  No such thing!

We're 'officially' closed from tomorrow but I've got some releases to get out before Christmas and then I'll be spending the break working on CWC2.

Ian......I 'sculpted' some of those more than a year ago....at least.

I hope some of the fantasy bears are to to your liking, chum.

You wouldn't believe how close to certain dogs ! (German sheppards, especially) bears are, head wise, until you play with the ears.

Honestly.....you wouldn't believe it  !!! :o

Leon? On holiday?    Ooh look.....a flying piggy. ;D

Cheers - Phil  :)

Cool, great to see these available in the metal - and good to see the bears.

Are the rhinos new, or a re-issue of the older ones?

One original and two new sculpts.

They are all great sculpts - Techno excels yet again.

IT might be worth producing  the bears and Rhinos in other scales. I found a very limited choice of "Normal" bears when lookikng for one in 28mm to go with my Frostgrave warband.

I'm always tempted to expand the animals into the larger scales as the sales on them are good, but it's a lot of outlay as we move up through 15's/20's/28's.

No plans for it just yet so you're OK for now!

All very nice. Particularly like the Storm Elementals.

But . . . puzzled why rhinos and (un-armoured/un-saddled) bears are thought to be fantasy monsters?

Very nice work and a good mix of monsters 8)

Nice releases... though I'm not much of a fantasy person.

Having said that... I'll have those Terror Birds!  ;)

They're a bit bigger than usual so would be a bit big next to regular 10mm figures.  They're perfect as 'heroic' monsters for the Fantasy crowd though!

Great to see them out an in production chaps - well done - a particularly good start to 2021.

More to follow I suspect  ;) :D

now all we need is Techno to produce riders for the bears  :-
and Im sure the Dark (and Nasty Elves would love a terror bird mounted cavalry  =))
just a few thoughts to keep Techno busy  ;D I know he gets bored in the wilds of Wales especially they are now in Lockdown.

I'm not sure about the bears.....But I know the Terror Bird is earmarked for at least one range.

The Nasty Elves have got one particular 'cavalry' mount, which is done......But that doesn't mean that there can't be a bit of mix and match later on. :-\

I've got enough to keep me busy with the Israelis and their foes for quite a while........Thank you so very much !  ;)

Cheers - Phil. :)

These look great!

And thank-you for putting in their height (saves me having to ask) as a result I've already thought of a home for the Terror Birds and the Trolls, possible the Stone Elementels too.

Merry Xmas and try to take at least a couple of hours off!
