North Star Reveal More Rangers Of Shadow Deep Sculpts
April 13, 2019 by brennon
North Star Military Figures has shown off a few more miniatures for Rangers Of Shadow Deep, giving you an insight into what they have been working on.
The first of the miniatures showcased was this brilliant looking Ranger drawing forth their sword. You could imagine this Ranger has just found themselves embroiled in the middle of an ambush, having to fight in a desperate struggle. I love the addition of the mask over the lower half of the face too, perfect for someone wanting to paint a shadowy Ranger.
Next up we have the first of the Female Rangers with twin swords at the ready.
I think she's probably going to end up as part of many people's warbands. I love the pose once again, aiming a challenge at some evildoer. I'm looking forward in particular to how people are going to paint these miniatures. I could imagine that there will be a lot of black and grey in here but also a few splashes of colour too, maybe with deep reds and greens.
Finally, we have another Female Ranger with Bow. She is looking rather cool indeed and hopefully, we'll get a bow armed male character too at some point.
This is a great new set of previews and it has made a lot of people diving into Rangers Of Shadow Deep very happy indeed.
I am looking forward to seeing all of the Rangers and I might end up painting quite a few of them!

Those look really nice.
I’m hoping they will do a plastic kit of rangers, or at least make any metal sculpts one piece, because I hate gluing metal together…
This appears to be the same sculptor who did the Oathmark humans, and all of the metal character models are one piece.
I for one am glad that they are metal. Call me old school if you want but I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for metal minis.
I think the lady archer looks best.
These look great. They will need to make sure they go for poses you can’t achieve already easily with the boxed NorthStar sets for best sales. Be interesting to see what comes out.
I’d like to see more Gribblies but these look great
Nice enough, but I’m firmly of the opinion that CAD stuff < hand sculpting. I'd have preferred traditional sculpts. These look too clean and clinical. It's the difference between early CGI and real life. There's stuff you can do with computer graphics and CAD that you can't do with real life and real sculpting, and that's all well and good, but nothing beats a real life green, just like beats a real-life human being. They both have soul, while nothing coming out of a computer does.
I completely agree, in most cases. Take the WizKids Pathfinder and D&D minis – too much tiny, cluttered detail. It makes a visual mess. But there are a few 3d guys out there who I think do a decent enough job, and this guys is one of them. I still prefer to look at a model that’s been hand sculpted, but these aren’t bad as far as 3D goes.
I’ve got my Rangers … well some are assembled, all are bought. I’ll pick these of though oh yes.
Nice.
I love this game, and I love their models. I’m just going to have to win the lottery, that’s all there is to it. I want all the minis and all the games.
Well this will be definately being purchased when they come out….
