Super cool Gynormous Base (must see)

[MadNes]

But more importantly, how huge is the model that goes on this monstrosity

It should be noted, the model being dwarfed on the left is a human sized 28 mil fig.

Due to the mob of humanoid things trying to claw out of the pit, I'm going to guess its a deamon
The whole model will be unveiled at gencon... Just 1 week away.

I'm not impressed to be honest. The detailing looks soft.

 

[MadNes]

Yeah, I've heard that a bit. I will hold my judgement for when I see the model and base together.

Either way its a neat concept, and the size of this figure is going to be mammoth

P.s. I'm guessing a miasma of souls attempting to escape The pit of hell may intentionally to look blobby. I did notice some of the detail is quite crisp, like the feathers on the angel wings for instance.

A good casting job on a so-so sculpt.

Definitley agree with Roger here, detailing looks poorly defined.
I also have to say that I'm not that impressed with the whole thing, as a base it looks like a whole load of things just randomly slapped together and rather childish in "concept".
But perhaps I've been spolit by looking at Jarheads bases.

@dr, you know sometimes jar's bases have figs on them? took me a while to figure it out!!

what company?

What? When did this happen?

The name of the company is bastion studios. It is for a table top war game. Called ex-illis.

I disagree that it looks like a bunch of random things slapped together. To me, it looks like whatever big fella is on top, killed a bunch of stuff, and niw he is collecting... Souls that is.

 

[supervike]

Interesting. I'd like to see what it's intended for. I agree the details look a bit soft and not well defined. But, maybe paint could change that.

 

[MadNes]

They've released a new photo. A bit more polished, I would say. I especially like the resessed (sp?) skulls between the bodies.

They've released a new photo.

I don't think that's a photo, I think that's a 3D graphic. And that may be one of the problems with this thing - I think it was created from a 3D file rather than sculpted, with the deep relief from a one-piece mould of this type, see lack of undercuts, it looks more like an extrusion rather than a proper three-dimensional item (design/layout issues notwithstanding).

Graphic or no, I like the 2nd image much better. Very cool looking.

 

[MadNes]

@ einion - im not in a position to dispute the authenticity of the photo. I'm told its a photo, I have no reason to disbelieve.

As to all of the technical and artistic parts, I have no design or artistic background. I just know what I think looks cool. This is one of those things.

 

[Richard Coeur de Lion]

This is a 3D render. But it looks pretty good to me, so many sharp details, the corpse of the angel with his bowels hanging, the skulls... They really went all out!

 

[freakinacage]

yeah i'm with rich and einion, lokos 3d to me. where does it say a photo? just says top down view

shame they seemed to have only used two models for the souls and just mixed them up with a few cuts... also the bricks do seem to be random, no real wall so where did they come from?

 

[leopardpixie]

i agree the second picture is quite crisp. the first one looks like the plastic animals at the zoo they used to make: extruding the hot melted plastic into molds and popping them out for the kids enjoyment, and the parents complaining about over priced plastic bits.

 

[PegaZus]

Just noticed in the first picture, bottom of the curve, it appears to have been cut from a sprue. So, first one looks to be the real one. Not sure if the second picture is computer generated or not.

 

[MadNes]

As long as the base looks like the pic when I get to GenCon I'll be happy. But more importantly, I'm amped to see the gynormous moster that goes on it.

Be aware of this - one of the main functions of this site is critique and sometimes something I have loved got panned. The aim, has for the most part, been to aim for better and better outcome and is well intentioned.

 

[MadNes]

I can G for that. My whole point is I cant get technical with the artsy stuff. So I cant talk shop with those who can. All I knowis "I" like it. My hope was to share it with others who might appreciate a mob of souls being drained into "the pit"

People who don't like, that's ok too.

But remember, its not a stand alone thing... I mean it is a stand... but it doesn't come alone..... Nevermind.

There is going to be a big honkin monster ontop of this thing at gen con. If for nothing other than SiZe its going to be raw.

I wonder if we can do a cage match of gen con exvlusives. Whatever this animal is vs Lord Chompy Bitz
