Bought the RPG, I like the show so much. I like the serpents, Jabbro. I have the RPG too. Could you make sense of the game mechanics or was my set missing something?

I really like them ! They bring me fond memories of Al Quadim games fifteen years ago, and they make me think of Simbad tales

I still jealously guard my Al Qadim (no 'u') collection and dream that one day I will use it again....and since I'm starting off a new AD&D 2E campaign in a couple of weeks, that day may yet come

Afet, I had not thought of treasure piles. I am not sure if I can fit it in this set. I'll have to see if I have a blank space in the layout when I am finished. If it doesn't, I can always add it to the next set. Do you know what size of slots the FD treasure pile set uses? I can probably stick it on standard 20mm. Hrmm, Sounds like missing the Pirates of Dark water RPG may not have been a bad thing. I still have an Al Qadim Monster Manual. I should probably go through that for some more material. Not that I don't already have enough, but it couldn't hurt. ;D Thanks, guys!

Everything I've heard was that the mechanics stink on ice, and were somehow related to one of the versions of D&D.

OK, I think I fixed the Man Scorpion for the pose. Let me know what you think. I am finally finished with all the inking.

I've told you in person I like the hand with the sword on the first better, and I like the scissor hand on the second version.

My vote is on the second one. I think it looks more dynamic than the first one's pose. Great job! ^^

Not sure how but I missed the update, I'm liking the 2nd as well although the first with the 2nd's scissor arm would also look good if you need two

Thanks, Anita, Sirrob and Xtea. I'll play with the outlines when I color him in and I'll probably go with a configuration of the two. This helps.

After a bit of side projects and other stuff, I've started the coloring process. Here are the Bandit and Assassin. They have not gone through my color tweaking process, but at least they are to scale.

Oops. And here I was gonna come kicking at your door wondering where the updates were...and here missed the update as well. 2nd Scorpion has a more dynamic pose. Looking good Jabbro. ~F

Thanks Floyd. Every now and again I need a good kickstart. Thanks for the vote on the scorpion-man. Here is the latest: Desert Worm and Dancer

How great. some weeks before I played the Legacy of Fire Adventure Path which is a module in a desert and there I could need your arabian minis. for the set I miss a camel, a belly dancer, a bedin raiders on horses and some more elemental guys. (jinns, jannys, shaitans etc. Of course the grafical concept you presented till now is formidable.

Post by jabbro on Nov 24, 2009 4:53:46 GMT -9
Enpeze, thanks for the ideas. This set is already pretty packed. Next Arabian set I make I definitely want to stick in some camels and desert traders, with some raiders as well. I'll probably put in some of those magic elemental characters, too.

Post by enpeze on Nov 24, 2009 15:04:53 GMT -9
fine. So I can looking forward to your second desert pack. BTw: do you know already an ETA for the first arabian set? (hopefully) will it appear this november on rpgnow?
Another question: do you like to make other "ethical"-inspired fantasy sets too? I guess there is a kind of "gap" for this because I could not detect such minis.
Like saracene, indian or far-east paperminis? (I think the many players could really use a good monk, shugenia or ninja, some indian sikhs or indian elephant demons (blood red ganesha!), zulu warriors or saracene palace guards with shield and spear) Or how about a roman or bycantine inspired mini set?
I am really exited about your arabian knights set. Its a wonderful idea to have a cultural mini set. I think its a fresh and inspiring view from standard fantasy.

Really liking the colours and looking forward to the set. Only comment: the brown under belly and then the brown bit inside the worms mouth, looks a little deceptive when glanced at quickly my brain keeps wanting to try and place the brown bit in his mouth outside his mouth...optical illusion but maybe a different colour for the inside part?

Enpeze, I really do not have a firm ETA on the Arabian set. Holidays have thrown everything off. I am not even at may house now. I'll try and get this done as soon as I can, but November is not looking good. Sirrob, the brown bits on the worm are actually connected. I don't know if you can tell so well from the screen shot, but the sand colored bone is more like an armor, and the face is acutally on the brown part. Maybe I need a higher contrast on that one?

Jabbro!
I've been away for a while... these are looking great!
I especially like the Desert Worm... just AWESOME!

Ok, I hope you will find your time for finishing soon. I am looking forward for this set (for the next with more elementals too, IMO we dont have alot of elemental minis now). BTW just bought your egypt set. Phantastomatic - already build several of those pharao thingies to let them loose on my poor players. (clockwork anubis, muhaha....)

wow! nice work Jabbro!
I really like the man-scorpion too, although I wonder if the giant swords aren't overkill and take away from the greatness of the scorpion. Maybe it would look better if he just had claws or pincers instead of swords? Have you tried that?

Post by jabbro on Nov 30, 2009 5:59:45 GMT -9
Thanks Epenze and Beau.
Requiem, on the Scorpion, the huge sword was my sneaky way of stabilizing the stinger so it is connected to the rest of the scorpion. I kindda liked it. Does it look that bad?

Post by requiem on Dec 6, 2009 3:21:26 GMT -9
Ahhh, I see. In that case, no problem.
It looks good, I just felt it changed the feel of the unit from a scary beast type creature to man with a big sword and scorpion rear. The sword makes him more human and less scorpion.
No biggie tho, he looks awesome.

Maybe you can swap the hands.... the "scorpionish" hand, raised, can "attach" to the tail, while the human hand can be positioned as you see fit.

Post by jabbro on Dec 10, 2009 6:03:41 GMT -9
Thanks Requiem and Parduz.
I doubt I will put too much more effort into redesigning the scorpion. I really haven't been putting enough time into this set. I'm going to try to get back into the swing of things.

Sorry gang. I did not realize it has been so long since I added an update. Oh well, here is the latest three miscreants. Evil Vizier, Free Sword (Yes, in ancient Arabia or Persia this makes a difference), and a Djinn. Someone got me into a certain game that has me pretty enthralled at the moment. The last thing I remember saying is no, "I never get addicted." Next thing I know it is like two weeks later and I still haven't slept a single 8 hour night. Blasted DarkSpawn!

WOW as usual! Now you know why I call my figures "Imperfect People." Dryw the Harper

Post by jabbro on Dec 17, 2009 5:21:34 GMT -9
Dryw, I would not call them that. They have a lot in common with my first figs. Besides, you churn them out a lot faster. Given the choice of your figures, and the eventual release of mine, yours win hands down. Matter of fact, I have been leaving your thread flagged so I can remember to download them when I am on the home machine.

Dryw draws more with the hand and jabbro does more with the computer, But both are absolutely great and a live saver for those who want to get rid of their plastic mini addiction.
I have over 2k prepainted WotC plastic minis, bought the last 20 months. Everywhere i am looking in my appartement there are those plastic dragons and plastic lizardmen and plastic orcs (even in our kitchen) there and there and everywhere.
But now its enough. In the future I just use only paper minis anymore. And most of them are from you both and onemonk. So many thanks and best wishes to you all for allowing this.
