Here he is along with Lowri Lowrisson and the Nameless Elf. As yet, the wizard doesn't have a name either...
I had a lot of fun working on this figure. Considering a wizard of this type is such a common archetype, I couldn't find any wizard miniatures that satisfied me - so I had to make one myself!
He's got the classic wizardly, adventuring accoutrements; nothing too fancy, nothing too 'concept art', just a good, solid, gnarly looking wizard.
I'm really pleased with how he's turned out. As before, I'll keep tinkering with bits and pieces before it's time to go to print.
I've now got to get stuck in to the Barbarian. It'll take a bit longer to finish as he's still in the basic body staged but I'm looking forward to it. I've also got a hankering to sculpt a Halfling henchman with a lantern to compliment the four heroes.
I really like these! The style makes me think of the graphic novel version of The Hobbit, which is perfect. A Barbarian & Halfing would be great. Maybe a female rogue to round the party out if the halfling is going to be a henchman/porter instead of a burglar type, if the halfling could double as a thief then maybe a female cleric: chainmail (functional, not cheesecake), round mace, round reinforced half-helmet, but think the party could use one member that isn't male for the variety it has going.
ReplyDeleteAnything that has to do with HeroQuest deserves applause! Great work! Can't wait to see the barbarian. If you've done them all, I'd like to repost your blog post about them on our HeroQuest blog if that's okay ;)
