Title: Some new Fantasy figures!
Post by: Leon on 08 March 2011, 02:03:40 AM
Forum member capthugeca has been busy working on some Minotaur conversions for us, which arrived here at Pendraken HQ last week.  They add some nice variety to the three poses we have already, and there are also two new figures, a chieftain, and a rather nice shaman!

Now you can make a proper Minotaur horde!

I've also took a couple of pics of a piece I've been working on for a while, as requested in another thread.  It was originally a plastic Mk I Male master, which I've drilled out and added some bits to.  It still needs a bit of tidying up, but it's supposed to be a Hill Dwarf mortar carrier!

I'm liking the look of those new minotaurs - I think they will be finding their way onto my wish list 8)

Good job with the Hill Dwarf mortar carrier Leon - though I'm undecided about the sponson cannons ......

Cheers,

Kev

Those minotaurs are great...I'm a bit worried for that stunty: the recoil from that mortar's going to get him in the knackers  :o ;D

Yeah, I'm not sure either.  Dave suggested putting some of the SYW 12lb'er guns out to the side, and putting the gun in the pic facing to the front instead?  Don't know yet.

The new minotaurs are awesome. Very impressive.

yep like the minoataurs, like the mortar carrier, but also not sure about the sponson weapons,  personally  I think it would look good without them

Hmm... possibly.  I was thinking loads of spiky, bang-bang type stuff when I started it.  Not so sure anymore.

I'm not sure, as it's not quite finished yet.  The earliest would be in the May batch, along with the Minotaurs and the new Fantasy race.
