Thundercloud Miniatures Ride Bears & Worship Dreadlords
June 10, 2013 by brennon
Thundercloud Miniatures are a new company that have produced some interesting artwork for their forthcoming miniatures line. Check out the Giskari Bear Rider and Dreadlord below...
"Not much is known about the Dreadlord, weather they are a native beast of the world or some creation of the shadow remains a mystery. There are some how suspect that the Dreadlords are responsible for the change in temperature, whilst still others believe that they are simply taking advantage of a natural occurrence. One thing all are sure about is that the Dreadlord is a truly terrifying creature, possessing both strength and cunning and takes a sadistic glee in the slaughter of innocents."
“The Giskari are a nomadic people who life an almost symbiotic relationship with nature. They do not train animals to perform tasks but instead work with them for the betterment of Giskari and creature alike. In war the more ferocious animals join the Giskari in combat, lending there considerable strength to the cunning of the Giskari.”
The artwork so far is pretty good, and I especially like the Dreadlord. The Bear Rider also has a bit of the Golden Compass about it don't you think?
The folks behind it have a post up in the forums discussing their work and hopefully we'll see some models very soon.
What do you think so far?
Love bears so of course the bear rider is my favourite here
Waiting to see what the modelling will be like with interest
The Dreadlord has nice strong legs, of which I greatly approve. As you may have noticed top heavy models bug the hell out of me (and I am not referring to Basketball Bertha here! lol)
Not sure what the weapon is and why the shaft is so spindly. Is it a magic item?
I hope that bear rider will be as cool as the pic.
