I´m looking forward to seeing more of them! Love the moody lighting in all of them, though I´d prefer the colours to be slightly less muted for the monsters.

I've already mentioned several times that I cannot wait for your artistic hands to get a hold of Obi Wan and General Grievous, those paint jobs are going to look sick But, after seeing this video and being reminded of kingdom Death, I would give up a kidney to see you paint the Gambler

@Sorastro 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks a lot! I did back the “Gambler’s Chest” ages ago; do we know when it is due to be shipped..?

@MrKogarou 4 жыл бұрын

@@Sorastro It's part of the wave 3 that got delayed a year. The Gambler's Chest and Campaigns of Death are the primary causes of the delay. The Gambler's Chest has grown to (beyond?) Core Game box size, and is now thematically linked and canonized into a full 30-year campaign expansion, with lots of content and models already added, including The King from the famously-cancelled Lantern Festival expansion. I'm not sure what previous timeline it was delayed a year from, but my expectation is that it'll be getting shipped or at least all game components finalized by the end of 2020. Personally I can easily wait; there's still so much assembly and game content (90%+) I've yet to experience. For the modelers, Poots has been selling "naked" models (ones from upcoming expansions). The huge Black Friday event just closed, but I think there's still some sort of fresh mini batch sale every month?

While beautiful, I'm not sure I like the NMM work here. While perfect in concept, I just don't understand where the light is supposed to be coming from. I get that his halberd has a lantern on it, but it doesnt really feel like a lantern, so it looks like the light is coming from off his base. The lantern light also seems very dull, and mixes too well with the gold/OSL off the halberd, making it difficult to differentiate. Still a beautiful, virtuosic work.

@Sorastro 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you! I'm certainly no expert with NMM so this was quite an experiment for me, and I'm sure won't be to everyone's taste, but regarding the question of where the light is coming from, it's a combination of yellow light from the lantern, plus a generic, cooler light from the environment. :)
