I'm working (slooowly! on Fantasy Heroes Project. The idea is to provide couple (series?) of sets dedicated to most known/used/archetype fantasy characters and applicable "professions": mages, thieves, paladins (please submit your most vanted / favorite ones!) - just to name the first ones/most popular coming into my mind...
So the basic idea is to "cover" most common characters and their specs!
For example: MAGES
There can be human, orkish, ..., and undead mage. Then mage can be holy, shadow, ..., and dark/black, then there are mage-school specs (warlocks, wizards, ..., whitchess, necromants?) etc.
So there should be just ONE "basic" character in set but with some additional specs plus variations (various posing, accessories and colour schemes) in one set. As there are possible many options/versions for each basic "hero" so MOD-KIT's should be possible as well - so you can for example mount mage on various mounts (ie mundane horse, flaming-horse, raptor, unicorn, lizard etc. - basically all PERMES mounts but obviously other/your own ones too:)
Regarding art-style I'm heading towards detailed, darkish style with some blood/cruelty when applicable; with lot of accessories, rich textures and special efects including sound light/shadows; so no manga or lollipop symplistic style in this case!
Here is some work in progress (draft) preview:
Dark/Undead Mages (or warlock/wizards perhaps - btw are these different?) -- mounted on a fierce flame-horse and raptor. But then "holy" mage (white/bluish robe, looong white beard, holy-wand etc... mounted on white horse or unicorn could be possible as well).
Actually the "basic/pure" flame horse (no saddle etc) and mage figurine could be possible in MOD-KIT -- so you can experiment/change and use these components as you need/wish.
Keep in mind that this is only a taste of what is to come and there is even more in warehouse - still some things are supposed to be changed or upgraded (in this case there can be various wand-flame effects including none!, various mounts (including mundane and/or separate "flame"), wands, robes, shields, amd general colours schemed. Actually I'm strongly willing to experiment!
I'm also curious - what kind of sets would you like:
-strictly premade figurines
-or mod-kits (separate mounts, figurines and accessories)?
-or perhaps "standart" figurines but with layered colours and/or some accessories
Obviously each version has some restrictions and cons and pros as well so ultimately I'll have to pick/compose some "standard" for the whole series but at this stage there is a lot of possible options!
Anyway any comments, ideas, suggestions?
