Aradia Miniatures Green Knight Project Finds Krampus & Mawhi Too
May 10, 2015 by brennon
Aradia Miniatures have been running a fantastic IndieGoGo project to help bring a brilliant looking Green Knight to the painting table but that's not all. The recent success also means they can also make both Krampus and Mawhi too!
It's Coal For You!
Krampus is the companion of Father Christmas during the holiday season who goes around the children of the world who have been bad and chastises them for their acts of ill intent. He's quite the creepy looking creature...
...but he has been fantastically realised by the folks at Aradia Miniatures and I think this is one amazing sculpt that would be a painters dream. While he is generally presented as being black as coal it would be interesting to see some other interpreations of him using his more Satyr like nature too.
Under The Sea!
As well as the creature of Christmas there is the amazing Mawhi The Whale Man. I couldn't find out much about this slow but kind looking creature but I'm sure someone will fill me in.
According to Aradia this model is HUGE. Considering that all of these models are coming in at the 75mm scale ballpark you've got a huge piece of resin waiting for you when you finally get around to making this monster.
I'd love to see someone paint him up in mottled greens and blues as if he's part of the ocean as well as being, well, a Whale Man.
Which do you like best?
‘s a toucan!
That Krampus looks really good while Mawhi is really promising.
Werewhale: Half man, half mournful cry. Or blubber if you prefer.
Super concept.
Did a google from the Green Knight news thread but came up empty.
Not sure what a toucan has to do with a whale.
Guessing by the name and the tropical bird that Mawhi is Polynesian, maybe Maori.
Quite like the Krampus too but the bird is not well done imho
The scale is going to make them too expensive to even begin to consider.
While 75mm is a legit scale I still feel that 54mm would have made the models more accessible and 28-32mm more useful.
That whale man is outstanding. You’re right about the scale @chibi . Just not useful in a 28mm world.
totally agree, that whale man is a brilliant idea for a mini 🙂
and the sculpt is looking fantastically detailed 🙂
based off the original concept art it seems it will be covered in seaweed, shells and barnacles too 🙂
so I’m looking forward to seeing how it looks all fully detailed 🙂
Captain whale man is whallygood!
When you guys report on new crowd fundraising projects
it would be good if you did more journalism on it, and gave a background on the people involved, to make it easier to make an informed decision, around trust and risk.
instead of just a simple, this is so shiny
