More Dark Sword Miniatures Masterpieces For June
May 28, 2013 by brennon
Dark Sword Miniatures have a whole bunch of new releases for the end of May and beginning of June. Check out the six new models below ranging from the Song of Ice & Fire series to general fantasy heroes...
First up are the two model from the G.R.R Martin collection. Old Nan and the Queen of Thorns might look like doddery old women but they have a lot more power than you'd imagine in the world of Westeros.
Next up we have some general fantasy heroes for your tabletop role-playing. Of the three here I am very much behind the Male Mage and the Female Rogue but the Knight of Roses is a little too old fashioned for me in terms of his look.
The Female Rogue though is fantastic looking and pretty practical by fantasy standards. The Male Mage might also find a spot in my collection as I have been looking for a model for D&D Next.
Last but not least is the Thief of Hearts shown here on an amazing diorama. She really is a great looking winged warrior woman and the paint work that has gone into the cloak is superb.
I love the wings too. It always seems like wings get badly done, and even with me not being an expert on these things, I reckon those are very well done.
Will you be grabbing one of these models?
The Ice and Fire sculpts are by far the pick of the bunch imho
Yes… Although Elmore has his fans, the old fashioned Dragonlance style is a little too quaint for me ! Still, beautiful sculpts every time.
Many of them look nice with that expert painting on them. I just wish that they did them with slot bases or rather true round bases so they could be used in games.
That is quite possibly the best representation of a female rouge I have ever seen in a miniature, no thigh highs, no wonky pose. A shame the knight is indeed a little old fashion.
The rogue is my favorite sculpt of this particular bunch, but I don’t think she looks very roguelike. I don’t want knee-high boots and leather bikinis, but I really don’t see how she could run very far in that skirt. Maybe more of a charming rogue, who uses her charisma score to beguile and fool people. But probably not much of a fighter (in that skirt at least) and definitely not acrobatic. Also, that thing would get caught on every tripwire the rogue is supposed to disarm. It’s a lovely sculpt (one I’m sorely tempted to buy), but I just… Read more »
I love classic Dragonlance art so those DnD sculpts (including classic Knight of Roses) are great in my eyes. I also love that Thief of Hearts as thats one exelent sculpt in my opinion.
