Cross Blades with the Latest Releases of Anima Tactics
June 25, 2013 by dracs
Three new miniatures are appearing for Anima Tactics, ranging from a heavily armoured ornate warrior to a monstrous hound from the depths of nightmares.
These plastic sculpts have tons of detail. The intricacies shown on the armour of Mijhail is particularly impressive. Anima Tactics have some of the greatest sculpts in fantasy gaming and these three plastic models really highlight this quality.
I think we should definitely get Romain to paint some of these up. The excellent designs of the armour worn by both Dagger and Mijhail should provide plenty of painting opportunities.
What colour schemes might you choose for these models?

AT + Plastic?
wow
I hope this brings the price down. They have been getting rather expensive of late which is off putting for me. That and all the unfinished models. 🙁
Don’t have any Black Sun or Azur but the Wanderer Mijhail is on the want list!
I tend to be rather conservative and go more or less with the artwork for AT
Just makes life a little bit easier for me, plus the fact that the artwork is usually pretty darn fine with good colour combinations that work well on the models.
I can’t compete with Angel Giraldez… but if the cast is good, i’ll give it a try ! 🙂
the 2 ‘men’ are ok, I don’t think the picture does them any favours, but that hound is horrendous. It looks like a kitbash from an 8 year old who has just found his dads Vampire Counts bitz box and a tube of UHU 🙂
No it doesn’t…. It’s just zoomed up too much.
How you gonna tell someone what it looks like to them? That shit DOES look terrible. FOH
” It looks like a kitbash from an 8 year old who has just found his dads Vampire Counts bitz box and a tube of UHU ”
“No it doesn’t….”
That does not look like telling someone what it looks like to them/
Really, saying the model does not look like it has been made by an eight year old with leftovers and UHU is not telling someone else what it looks like to someone else.
It doesn’t look like that to me. Or are you saying I should think that it does. In which case you are being extremely rude and hypocritical.
Anima Tactics comes out with some of the very best sculpts. I have never been disappointed, and I would say for anyone who has ever been privy to owning some of their outstanding models; you will know they are brilliant! Bad presentation, but that does not diminish the models.
Seems like the hound is a bit of a Marmite figure. Love it or hate it. The Art is great and very freaky. Position of model on all fours with its oversized jar jutting out looses the freaky feel for me and makes it look a bit gormless….
Absolutely love the humans. Must admit I have flicked through AT minis a few times because I wanted a wow fix. Dagger is awesome. Mijhail fantastic BUT find the slightly daft spear tip draws the eye away, easily replaced though and would make a great back banner for somebody.
Actually the more I see the hound the more I like it.
It fits with the anima style and the sweep of the lines is very stylish
The skull looks to me to have been based on a pug nosed dog such as a bulldog, which 5 secs of Googling confirms.

Pug….yes it does look quite like the jaws in those links. I’d love a version with it howling to the moon though.
Howling at the moon? Looks like he’s about to devour it! lol
Think that could have been a really cool model
If one company could use a Kickstarter to bring more to the world faster, this is it. I do hope we get an Anima Tactics KS soon!
