February and March release poll
🕑 Added 2022-01-13 20:54:27 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
So you've been quite resourceful on Discord and quite frankly this poll is going to be a hard one for me. I ended up curating your ideas into seven possible release bundles and the top two are going to end up being the February and March release. This means that five out of seven will not get made which will be a bummer. I will try to shoehorn them at another poll down the line I suppose.
- Giff spelljammer crew. The militaristic hippopotamus are just screaming to be made into miniatures especially with WotC recently making them an official playable race. I would approach this release as a mercenary group, crewing their own spelljamming ship. This would include a Captain, a couple of Giff deckhands, a heavily armored giff, a heavy weapon giff and the most important crew member - the cook. The adorable Hadozee have also been pitched (who are also becoming a new playable race as it turns out) so since they are so keen at sailing I'll add a couple of flapped monkey deckhands.
- 2. Jungle Adventures - A release that would go well with the 'Tomb of Annihilation' campaign. The bulk of the minis would be various Grung tribe members from the lowly green warrior and hunter grungs to the majestic gold grungs. The release will also include a dinosaur pack or draft animal and a giant Frogemoth for good measure. I havent been able to find any connection between froghemoths and grungs but, hey, they are both frogs so why not?
- 3. The Inevitable - These Sentient robots from the Nirvana of Mechanus are some of the most powerful creatures in all the planes. These will be fairly complex models so I'll keep this release strictly at five models. In the first image you can see from left to right a Zelekhut, a Kolyarut and a Marut, Kolyarut. In the second image the Quarut is on the left and the immensely powerful Varakhut on the right. The quarut is definately going to get a redesign if this option gets picked.
- 4. Medieval fantasy cavalry and retainers - This release would flesh out the Cormyrian Purple Dragon knights and their retainers. I am a big fan of Jason's channel Modern History TV who is an actual horse trainer and medieval history enthusiast so I would be thrilled to go over some of the things I've learned from his channel.
- 5. Dwarf ram cavalry vs Orc Bear riders - This is just an opportunity to sculpt some increadibly cool and characterful models. I dont have any particular ideas on where such models would be used but god they'd be awesome!
- 6. Githiyanki / Githzerai - Another popular planar race that I've been itching to sculpt for some time now. Ideally I would also want to make an entire skiff for them but that's probably out of the scope of a single month's release. However, I am going to try to fit a red dragon rider in there.
- 7. Simian village - This was a late adition to the list. I have a strong fondness for great apes and as a child I came up with many characters based on my numberous ape fluffy toys. I am hoping that there are enough great ape enthusiasts among you to send this choice to the moon. The miniatures in this release are going to include both male and female characters, sporting tribal yet intricate gear. The image below gives a good idea on how I am imagining these guys and gals.
So fire away!

That's great to hear. I don't need any D&D stuff (I thought I had several hundred but at last count it was more like fifteen hundred) D&D modles but I actively play necromunda (the only GW game I do at this point) and malifaux.

Awesome, I'm a huge house Goliath fan so this months release was great (stim boss). House Van sar and AmBots are also bad ass :D

Oooh, nice! Absolutely fitting and hilarious at the same time :)

There definately will be in the future. I have started pretty heavily on Necromunda thanks to the guys at house Bharteth with whom we've been working together for a while. Even though another sci-fi release will not come before May, I might still add necromunda stuff here and there for my patrons. An escher clan chymist is definately in the plans because I just added one in my gang and dont have the mini for it :D

I'm a huge fan of anthropomorphic animals. I want that Hippo Captain!!!

more Necromunda stuff maybe?

If the Giff do win for March, could we see a female mini? As much as I like Victorian military regalia, I'd love to see a lady Giff in her finest dress toting a black powder musket!

The inevitable seem to be the winner for February's release. I am going to give it five more days to see if the Giff remain in 2nd place and earning the March release.
Tsipis K
Wow, the inevitable are a lot hotter than I expected
