Danish WIPS

[mminiatures]

I've been working on more danes with the goal of making a full range of figures (though its along way off). Here they are--

Danish Sorcerer



Another Thegn who will have some sort of face mask with chainmale covering the face.


The first Sword dane--plenty of work remains here


My idea is to create a range of minis and possibly a game based on the Norse system of mythology. The factions will be Asagrd, the Nordic Heaven, Midgard, which is earth, and Niflheim, Nordic Hell. I have plenty of cool stuff planned, most immediately standard Danish soldiers, sword danes, bowmen, and possibly spearmen, and then some horsemen (my casting people have informed me that my castings of horses are ready so I can begin to work on these). I also plan to make what I believe are the basis of ents, Ask and Embla, Nordic tree people who were supposed to be the fathers of man. Then there will be Asgard with heroes, valkaries, and men of valhalla, and Niflheim with undeads.

This is all real ambitious and may never be completed, though what do you think of the ideas?

Great work mminiatures. The only problem I have with them is the sorcerer's legs look wierd to me. I love the cloth though.

Look forward to seeing this mate! I'm a big fan of Norse mythology so I want to see these done!

Looking good mate, but might I be so bold as to suggest that the sorcere's legs are a little out of proportion to his body. Very nicely sculpted so far though.

[mminiatures]

Well, if two out of three people say the sorcerors legs are off its probably true. I like the torse and head though so I'll have to get to work on new legs--bear with me as I've never sculpted bear lags before and I'm stll getting the hang of it. Critisism like this is good, keeps me from casting a mistake.

Hey,

looking good, though you still seem to mis-proportion alot of your models. What do you use as anatomical reference?

This may be of some help, but your bound to have similar things:
