Maelstrom Games Reveal the June BaneLords
May 8, 2012 by brennon
The final set of miniatures for the world of BaneLegion have been announced and here are the four BaneLords capping off the June releases...
Blunt-Claw seems to have channelled the spirit of the Skaven with a rather pallid and fleshy visage. A nice stance to him and plenty of weapons means he could be a rather nice addition to the Undercities finest.
Aanchuth the Cursed is another bestial opponent. I like the different sword design and the carved tattoo across his chest. A great Bray-Shaman model or role-play figure for the world of Warhammer.
Most of you will have seen the serpentine Svrill. The overwhelming consensus was that while it was a good model the way he is reading the scroll was a little odd in its positioning.
And finally another 'Boobs and Broadswords' miniature from BaneLegion in the form of Ygerna. A blind warrior woman who will be distracting her enemies with her body before cutting their heads off.
Do any of these June releases spark your shiny syndrome?

From those I am liking most from Aanchuth and Ygerna althought those are all well sculpted and nicely detailed.
Maybe it is just me but these seem to be losing some of the pizazz of the earlier releases in the line. They are still sculpted magnificently, but the concepts aren’t wowing me as often.
The snake guy would be very cool if he weren’t distracted by that pretty cloud that looks like a bunny.
He is an aeroplane spotter, and that is the Scroll of Ian Allen with all the registration numbers
The Beastie and Skaven look ok.
The blindfold on Ygerna ought not suppress her sense of balance howevver, as she will fall flat on her face if she continues to relax in that position.
Unless she is leaning on the Wall of Invisibilty.
The blindfold is also no excuse for going out only wearing boots and belts.
Put some clothes on you hussy, you brazen Jezebel you!
*however. A howewer is something completely different.
The best of them is Blunt Claw. The rest I can pass on. Not my cup of tea.
Ygerna seems too much like Kingdom Death’s White Speaker to call it truely original. Otherwise I like the sculpt, but it doesn’t really capture the concept art’s character’s balancing pose. Might be the angle of the pics.
Aanchuth the Cursed is the best of the bunch.
Nope, it is just incorrect I’m afraid.
If this was a person, the right leg is bearing the whole weight of the figure.
But the whole torso is leaning over the CoG which is why she looks unbalanced.
Generally speaking with such a pose the weight bearing foot should be in a line directly under the head.
The right leg is too vertical, and extending the line up, it is level with the outside of her shoulder.
Love the Broo … sorry showing my age – I mean beastman
The Boobs’n’Broadswords’ that where so last decade in my book
Blunt-Claw looks very brutal – he’s bald and fleshy and he’s carrying not just a big cleaver but a selection of pans to cook his victims – he’s a cross between a rat and an ogre Butcher so a blood-caked flesh paint job will work wonders. The undeniable proof of his evil comes from the half eaten torso on his back being a woman, even more heartless to a human observer as they are the ‘gentler sex’. That’ll goad people into attacking so he chooses the terms of the fight…very cunning. Aanchuth is clearly enormously strong if he can carve… Read more »
