Isbiliya – the PRELUDE I am always excited when a new release comes from Pedro Fernandez and although Isbiliya is an older release it is stunning! The packaging always oozes a level of class not always seen in our hobby, with the parts nest;ed within wood shavings in a sturdy box. The release also comes with the story booklet written by Pepe Gallego which sets the tone for this beautiful character. The kit consists of 7 polyurethane resin parts along with a rather attractive scenic base. First impressions are very good although I can see several mild lines that will

ROMMEL – the PRELUDE ROMMEL is another in a smaller scale line of historical busts released that are aimed with the inclusion of a “how to” PDF to help those wanting to make the transition into painting larger scales and busts. It consists of just four parts, torso, head, cap and goggles, so the focus is on getting the piece to the painting stage as quickly as possible. The kit arrived in its small, sturdy, black box, the parts nestled between shaped layers of foam with the clear acrylic goggles attached to a small sprue. The presentation as always is

Orc Raider – the PRELUDE This 1/11 scale Orc Raider, as hinted at in the title, is a crazy figure, it’s big, brutal, beautifully cast with a ton of options. I first became aware of these figures some time ago, back then the company were considering, selling the digital files for people to print their own, thankfully they changed their idea and now there are a whole series of brutal looking goblins and orcs in different scales. The initial figure costs $55 and comprises 14 digitally printed, Polyurethane Resin parts. In addition, you can add various other elements such as

Dzhur-Ghul – the PRELUDE Aradia Miniatures have been super busy of late, on the back of their successful Dante’s Inferno KickStarter, we have seen little of the original Aradia range, the most recent release being Dzhur-Ghul the robber. I fell in love with this the moment I saw it, although it clearly has similarities to Maxim Verehin’s “Shark Day” concept that was brought to life by Wonderlands Project. The Figure is based on the concept art by long standing collaborator Stefano Moroni and sculpted by one of my favourite sculptors Joaquin Palacios. The kit comprises of ten hard Polyurethane Resin

UFGAR – the PRELUDE Ufgar the Collector is a six part, polyurethane resin bust depicting a demon, heavily based on the concept art by blocsanchez and the illustrations of Victor Varela. No other than Raul Garcia Latorre was trusted in bringing the demon to life with incredible results by the master sculptor. One of my biggest regrets was not getting the limited edition, which sold out almost immediately, so I thought I would show you the regular version. The kit arrived in the distinctive packaging of Hera Models along with a “playing card” depicting the artwork and a cool looking

Siren Miniatures – the PRELUDE As many of you will no doubt know, Siren Miniatures and I go a way back, mutually supporting each other pretty much from the start. It is always a pleasure to develop such a relationship, today I want to show you another of their figures, Idan the Eagle Knight. This small, intricate figure came in the customary blister pack, a render shown adorning the lid. The kit consists of three parts and comes with a round slotter base, nestled between layers of foam. As always first impressions are great, I am always amazed by the

Succubus – the PRELUDE This is a new bust in 1/10 scale from NutsPlanet titled “Succubus”, sculpted by Jun-Sik Ahn. It arrived in the customary, blue, sturdy box adorned with the box art by Myeong-Ha Hwang. It comprises of seven polyurethane resin parts, sealed in ziplock bags and nestled within layers of shape foam for extra protection during transit or storage. In truth I was pleasantly surprised by the beauty of the piece, first impressions are very good indeed! “A succubus is a Lilin-demon in female form, or supernatural entity in folklore, that appears in dreams and takes the form

Banshee Workshop – the PRELUDE Did you hear the one about the politician, the gangster and the prostitute? No? Well I guess you haven’t been privileged to attend an Alfonso “Banshee” Gilraldes Colour Theory Masterclass, a Banshee Workshop.. The three characters above are how he described the relationships between colours. The blue of authority, conformation, the yellow the gangster or dealer, working with whoever whatever it needs to get results. Red the whore, the passion, the brothel. The place where all three are likely to be found together. A RELAXED DELIVERY Alfonso delivered a relaxed, straight from the hip machine

Rotten Factory – the PRELUDE Rotten Factory is a newcomer to the market and a small, independent creator of figures entrenched within the genre of fantasy/horror with a nod towards all things Nurglesque! Rotten Factory hail out of Poland and the owner, Pawel Jakub Gorecki, designs and sculpts everything himself. The figures in general remind me of a more adult version of GW, approaching the design ideals say of Heldorado. There are things here to remind me of the Art of Adrian Smith, films such as Silent Hill, clearly these are some sort of chaos warrior faction, the fine detailing
