FANTASY REQUESTS

[squirmydad]

Here is a list of model sets people have requested over the years. Feel free to add your own. The more people request the same kind of sets means that artists will put it at the top of their to do list.

Witch Hunters
Battle Nuns
Centaurs
woodland creatures
Wolfmen
Praying Mantis
Anthropomorphic characters
Non-human spellcasters
Villagers
Horse Nomads
Mercenaries-Free Lancers-Sell Swords
Great Orcs
Oriental style Snakemen/Naga, evil types with Ratmen as the good guy alternative.

How about some Fey critters - not monsters, aliens nor humans but just a one sheet of Fairy like critters.

"Fluffy" Balls of light
Wicked Imps (not demonic) - Nightmare weefolk
Plant folk (sexy Vine Nymphs) - bound to pot plants or trees
Insect Winged little folk with legs that are more Grasshopper.


Prehistoric stuff
Cavemen
Cavewomen
Sabertooth Cat
Mammoth
Raptors

Woolly Rhino
Giant Sloth
Giant Cave bear
cavekids (children)
Yeti/bigfoot
dinosaurs
Triceratops,
T-Rex
Ankylosaurus
Stegosaurus
Brontosaurus


Wizards - a sheet of wizards with different styling.
Warriors - Adventures not military
Thieves - Standard Pickpockets and knifemen
Priests - Clerics and Battle Priests
goblins but all undead Skeletons
Giant
skele's of a variety of races like dwarves, elves, gobbos, orcs, ratmen, lizardmen
pirates
peasant mob (or medieval civilians page)
Marie Antoinette, King Louis, Robespierre, The Scarlet Pimpernel, all manner of angry revolting peasants, and maybe a stand-up
model guillotine?

Large Scorpion & Spider
Gelatinous Cube
Xorn
Griffon
Basilisk
Wyvern,
Medusa
Genie
Gorgon
Treant
Harpy
Gnoll
BEHOLDER.
Sphinxes with different heads, a manticore with a spiky tail, a griffon
Fighting Fantasy illustrated the races, with horned lizardman, red wearing two-headed lizardman clerics and both legged and no-legs versions of the snakemen.

Horses and Chariots
spell hurlers and clerics be female
drow priestesses

Stuff to add....
I'd like to request that some of the spell hurlers and clerics be female. In particular, I'd like to see something that will work for drow priestesses of Llolth; but I could modify an elven priestess to make it work if need be.

It would be really great to see some of the new 4E races as well - stuff like Dragonborn, Goliaths, Warforged, etc... Right now it's easy to find dwarves, elves and humans but it's tough to find these new unusual races.


Do woodland creatures include fauns and satyrs?

My 5 year old daughter is heavily into Narnia at the moment, I've just read her the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and prince Caspian so some Narnian folk would be good: Centaurs, fauns, satyrs, animals (talking creatures are slighty larger than non talking ones in Narnia) such as leapards, wolves, tigers, dogs, mouse swordsmen and of course a rather impressive lion!!!! Oh and don't forget the 4 children!!



Fairy princesses, good females, fairy or Elven queens. Actually these are requests from my daughter who loves the Golems set but doesn't think there are enough 'girl' miniatures. I suppose I could put dresses on the brigands but it's not the same thing.

Don't forget Godofrandomness' request for dragons. It was moved with the Fairies.

I got a request. I have been trying over and over the past month or 2 to draw a 2D dragon. I am never happy with the final designs. I have tried everything from tracing art, to stockpiling a bunch of "how to draw dragons" books (some are ok, but drawing for a mini and drawing for a piece of art are 2 totally different styles), to even attempting to trace over photos of WoTC's dnd minis dragons. I have even attempted to adapt the 2.5d dragon into 2D but the proportions just dont seem to come up right. It's getting to the point that I just want to take a pic of a dragon that's flat footed and reflect the image.

So my request is a 2d dragon or 2 (or just even a pile of parts) of big size. That way if a smaller dragon is needed instead, it can just be scaled down without quality loss.

[onemonkeybeau]

Yup!

I second the call for more dragons!

Hey someone thought of me! I feel special!

[squirmydad]

I think it might be worth my while to start establishing some dragon designs, al least some clean thumbnails designs so I can figure out how I want to stylize them. If I get time this weekend I want to thumbnail out a bunch of future sets ,just like how am doing the elementals. It works out well when I can take breaks between revising the designs.

[onemonkeybeau]

That's a great idea Jim!

I have a feeling there are a lot of dragon fans out there!

[buckwiley]

My only request would be to move the fantasy villagers up in your schedule. I know you've got your "100 set goal" firmly in your sights, but it'd be great if the villagers were in there sooner rather than later!

Thanks, Jim! ;D

[squirmydad]

I have updated my "What I'm working on" with the forthcoming projects, Villagers included.

Brand new here, loving the One Monk approach to minis so far. Ironically, what seems to be missing is the Monk!

I've just started up a Castles & Crusades game with my kids and one of them is playing a female Monk - I *could* go to Precis Intermedia for one but she would stand out from the rest as being patently different.

A ninja would do...

[tumbleweed1025]

How about some Fantasy Football type teams? 16 or 12 players per team, 4 or 5 types of players. Add-on packs with support players, coaches, medics, cheerleaders, etc.

Have you tried looking in the monthly HOARD files? They are all free, might be worth checking out.....if I come across anything suitable in my collection I'll let you know where it's located.

[deep]

How about some "standart"-Animals, like

• Spiders
  
• Rats
  
• Boars
  
• Bears
  

I made some rats, but they are pretty improvised:

Does anyone know of a paper mini for a Displacer Beast?

[cowboyleland]

I once downloaded a free cat from the canon site. It is 2.5d and it wouldn't take much modding to stick some tentacles on. Then there would probably be some scaling to do. It is called e_bengal_e_ltr.pdf-pages-2.0 if it is still there. I might get on it myself if nothing comes up this weekend, but I can't promise.

[Dryw the Harper]

If you need something quick and dirty in the way of a displacer beast, and have no intention of publishing it, you can probably use the following image and mirror it, and then cut it out.

Hope this helps.

[cowboyleland]

I started a new thread for this. Anyone with ideas or issues feel free open a discussion.

[josedominguez]

Here's my panther....... just stick some tentacles on him

[kiladecus]

Nice one, Jose'!

Hey, there's an idea... Mirrored clip-art!

I may have to do some digging today... sure it won't look great (with no backs, and all), but hey... cheap and easy! I like that...

I mean, INEXPENSIVE and not DIFFICULT... (I better make myself clear)...

[hellfire6a]

OK. I know this is going to sound weird....

My Group keeps going back to fantasy setting, but it's Byzantine/New Rome. Cataphracts and Orcs oh my.

Any body have any good Byzantine as well as eastern paper minis (saracens etc) Crusades may be good, but given the fact that the PCs are Byzantines the Crusaders are probably as likely to be villains as they are to be good guys.

Having Rus and Bulgars etc would be cool as well as Varangian Guards. The images of the nobility and the peasantry with their eastern flair makes them particularly attractive, because they are not so over done. Meaning they are not just another bunch of dark ages knights/peasants/nobles.

[dragonshine]

hello all, newbie here! I've been looking through the site, and did a search for Dwarf hero's but can't seem to locate any. I'm not a good at gimp, and other programs yet. If some one could lend me a hand on finding some, at 30mm scale, that'd be greeeat! Thank-you.

[algoesnext]

Try www.oversoul-games.com/oversoul_download.html there's a load of stuff in their Dungeon Plungin sets

[dragonshine]

Yea i saw those. Their cute and all, though i'd like to find something a with a little more realizem to them. i'ze DL'd a lot from this site in the Hordes. And well, just looking to bolster an all Dwarven hero team.

[cowboyleland]

I was sure there were dwarves here. The leader was standing on an anvil. Were they maybe only 15mm. Anyone . . . Beuller?

[Tommygun]

I think you are looking for one of Ken's projects.
I think he has it on hold until he get a few things straightened out.

[cowboyleland]

There are also some dwarves in the Feb and March 2010 hoards. And probably some other hoards too.

[sammo]

Slick's Miniatures at RPG now has two sets of dwarf infantry

www.rpgnow.com/index.php?manufacturers_id=2865

Well worth the 2 bucks a set. Plus I think there is a moded set in the hoards somewhere that gives them different weapons or something (I can't really remember).

[josedominguez]

spears and a standard bearer ... definately in the hoards.

[mirtexxan]

hello to everyone!
i'm looking for a DRAKE paper mini!

Thank you very much

[aftershock567]

Pathfinder seems to be a very popular setting/system at the moment. Paizo puts out some miniatures for their adventure path lines, but many of these minis are low quality. They only have front art, the basing is terrible, they lack cut files, and they are not outlined to allow for easily making cut files yourself. The art is not as good of quality as what I see from one monk, and they are slightly more expensive I believe.

With this in mind someone needs to take a close look at pathfinder monsters, races, classes, and make miniatures that could easily be used in a pathfinder game. I bet you could make a bit of money!

How about a 2.5d tarrasque!
