Frothers Unite! UK

Are fantasy football games popular in Europe? 'Cause I've never even seen Bloodbowl played here. Anyway, three separate teams by three different companies are now available.

Willy Miniatures is crowdfunding their Chaos Team. Nothing special so far, just renders of beastmen in some gladiator-style armor.

Kraken Miniatures is crowdfunding their Secret Weapons - Halloween Carnival team. Yet another take on silly orcs and goblins, it looks like.



If they make it to $5500, they've got designs for four more.

Gaspez Arts is crowdfunding their Psyco Pigs team. I think they're very rough for Gaspez. They're only previewing models after they're painted, but you can see the lot of them behind the annoying question-marks.





Revealed stretch goals include a medic and cheerleader.

That's the first time I've seen Spiderman ripped off for a goblin.

Clearly falls in the parody segment though, so it's fair use.

I'm not getting sucked into it. It's already $245 to get at least one of everything except the resin pieces. Still, I might watch fleabay after it's delivered to see about picking up some bits here and there.

I'll see you there.

Better make a note in next year's diary then; delivery November '13

Not directly figure-related, but for sculptors looking for a manikin that you can properly pose, this looks pretty interesting...

IIRC someone on planetFigure was using something similar - a super-articulated 'blank' action figure. Looked well good, except it was some OOP thing that had to be imported from Japan.

I can buy a manikin similar to that in the Art Supply store downtown.

New concept art for some more of the bonus figures for Blackwater Gulch

Here we have The Outlaw Clinton Wales (may change his pose to "Do ya feel lucky, varmint?" or "Get off my tumbleweeds"), Doc Emmitt, Father Al and Nevada Dave

With this project we'll be able to produce 4 new miniatures. These miniatures have already been sculpted and are ready to be sent off for moulding and put into production. The miniatures will be cast in a durable and highly detailed plastic material capable of capturing all the detail of the master just as beautifully as the normal lead alloy used in other Imbrian Arts miniatures.
