Tale Of War Send Punishment From Above!
December 27, 2013 by brennon
Tale of War, who make some brilliant looking miniatures from a variety of worlds have got something epic on the cards. See what you think of their deadly looking Punishment Angel!
Now that is a mega looking piece. If you are fans of the Darksiders games then you might see a passing resemblance to Death from the second game, and it immediately makes me think 'when are they going to do War?'.
The detail looks great, although we can't really tell from this distance, and those wings are awesome. I actually think he might even look better without the wings but then I suppose he would cease to be an angel.
What do you think of Punishment?
Looks badass !
I like theTale of War style…
First thing I thought was that he does indeed look like Death from Darksiders 2.
Since the series has been cancelled for the foreseeable future, I wonder if they’ll do all the horsemen. Or something similar to them. Since the concepts exist for all of them and their once planned games.
I remember being amused that the only female horseman in the series was Wrath. Would’ve loved to see that.
Yes, I thought so as well ! It wouldn’t be the first time Tale of War does an hommage.
Amazing looking angel!
Nice centre piece for an undead army.
Needs the abyssal armour 🙂
It’s more than a “passing” ressemblance it’s one of Darksiders’ concept arts ripped off (search google images for darksiders 2) and their biggest creative effort here was to add a pair of wings.
Tale of war has talented artists and they created lots of original nice models. They can do much better things than plagiarism.
I think the passing resemblance comment may just have been slightly sarcastic. Just a tad. A smidgen.
OK… again, when a sculpt looks like something, it’s not necessary plagiarism. What you mean here by plagiarism (and is in fact mere image theft) is when one does something not just to imitate, but to replace and profit from an original work, passing for something official. This is not the case here, as the sculpt is clearly an hommage, like many of their other sculpts. no one can confuse this miniature with the original, and everyone knows it’s not official. The goal of IP theft and plagiarism is to deceive, this is to flatter. I see these words “plagiarism”… Read more »
