Nice work on the list, Paul.  I'm surprised that you can't find a centaur mini, though!

I was just wondering who sculpted the giants?  Was it the same person who did the idol?

Yes, it was Paul Muller.

Howdy All,


Just back from KC - saw the Dead Sea scrolls exhibit - waheyyy cool!

I edited my list a bit. If anyone has a lead on a proper mini for any of them post away!

I have all of the Reaper ones that match so far. I have yet to see a really good purple worm (9' in diameter) or a properly scaled giant slug.

I mean has anyone ever sculpted a purple worm miniature that is 2" diameter and 10" long? Reaper's most recent one, which lacks eyes, is only a sub-adult, being merely 1" or 5' in diameter. (The plastic one by Wizbro I have not seen in person so I can't comment on it's scale.)

It has to be the all time classic of titanic D&D creatures but it has never had a properly scaled miniature!

Also, I have never seen a giant slug, like the one that appears in the Monster Manual or in D1:



Now those slugs are as big as houses! All the ones produced so far have only been as big as a horse at most.


Futures Bright,

Paul

I like the cleric trying to turn the Giant Slug.  Nice one mate, got any holy water?

The Hill Giant and Stone Giant are now available for sale here:



eBay listings



MDC have (again) done a cracking job of the casting, and the figures are a real pleasure to paint.





HILL GIANT





STONE GIANT



Future plans include a Frost Giant and a Fire Giant, but I'm not yet sure whether we'll do the Cloud and Storm Giants.  Also on the way is a small range of old-school D&D-style Pig-faced Orcs by Bob Olley.

Absolutely, especially if you offer a "buy the set discount" for folks taking a beating in the dollar vs. the pound exchange rate

I recall some piggy orcs from back in the day, will have to go digging now to see if I ever bought any....

A series of golems, perhaps, to follow the giants?

I like the idea of the "pig faced" orcs. However, my vote is still for an MM Ogre Mage. Also think a Type V Demon might be cool.

And a succubus, Fraz-Urb'luu, Iggwilv, and Drelnza, of course
