The World Of Twilight

Salute is closing fast and I've got a bunch of announcements for the next couple of weeks  ;D

First up I'm excited to present some master casts of a new civilian from Mark Craggs. This cute little fubarnii is quite the dandy, with a mighty fine hat and a paintbrush.

If you are lucky enough to be going to Conpulsion this weekend then Pyre-Studios will have a few early release copies, otherwise you can wait a couple of weeks and get hold of him at Salute, or from the Pyre store. There are only a limited number of copies available at this time, but he'll be on full release later this year! I hope you like him :)

Very characterful and a lovely sculpt...but where is her easel?

HN

Looks great inked up.
I did muse over an easel but thought that would mean he would need a pallette not a pot, and more brushes. In the end I decided to go this route as more like a sign writer.

Awesome!

Maybe shes painting the side of a building. Mural artist for hire!

HN

I could imagine him with an easle, or painting a mural... He needs a set of painting bowls in lots of different colours scattered around him.

Today I've got a new Devanu to share. This is the first Twilight mini sculpted by Aaron Brown, based on a sketch I did for Geckilian a couple of year's ago.

When devanu jenta reach a certain age they are kicked out of their tribe and they either die, latch onto another tribe, or on some occasions particularly powerful young jenta will pull together a group of other Jenta. These bands are particularly dangerous as they are often more desperate and less careful than the more established tribes. Rules for this guy are very much WIP, but he'll allow you some new options for your Devanu, or you can just use him as an alternate hunter. Please let me know what you think!

She looks good. I like the improvised weapon. I'm interested to see what the new options for the Jentas will be.

HN

I've just posted that I'll bring my forces with me to salute. By the looks of these I'd best be sure to bring my bank card too..... great looking stuff all round!

Nice Jenta and artist there Mike! I'll certainly be interested in those, oho.

Nice Jenta my outnumberd Devanu need all the reinforcements they can get

Nice!

I love the artist, very fun figure.  I need to pick up some of the fubarnii civilians for scenario use, this guy's definitely high on the list.

The jenta looks good too - I love Aaron Brown's sculpting and he seems to have done a great job with this model.  Fits the other Devanu very well.

Too bad I'll have to wait a while to pick these up, since I live state-side, but I'm looking forward to it.

I really really like the stalking pose of that jenta! So menacing and full of character! Great stuff

      From what ive seen I say you have been busy, and for the best reason, man there are certain things which just happen World of twilight is the future of games Id throw myself in head first to explore the psychology behind being happy and playing these amazing games.

     When ever I have tried to keep my gaming habits in order every thing out side them just got harder, I raise my flagon to those wanderers who have ever tasted the victory of wet rain on the face after a dark night of adventuring gl hf gb !!!.

 

These are my big release for Salute this year. They've been on pre-release at Pyre previously, but they are ready for full release now!

These Dhogu are little multi-part models, with a main body and separate heads and arms. This is the first time I’ve had a go at such variable models. They assemble reasonably easily, look good (in my opinion) and give lots of options, but they are a bit of a pain to pack! So far I’ve got variants with spears and bows. I’ve also done a pair of knife arms for the ‘skinner’ (a scout and guide who is never seen without his skerrat hunting beasts) and a hookstave for the leaders. The Dhogu are also supported by Yirnak riding cavalry, who I am particularly pleased with. I hope you like them too!

In case you are interested, here’s a bit of background: The Dhogu are natives of the Setir mountains, who live a migratory life in the snowy conditions. They have a well deserved reputation as bandits and raiders, descending from the snow to ambush unwary travellers. Recently they have also been seen alongside the Delgon forces, guiding them through difficult conditions to strike in force where the Empire is not expecting.

Oh, and here's a little composite Ben (Emberbreeze) put together based on my painted models...

I think these guys are probably the best minis you've done...but then I love snow & winter so I'm a tad biased :D

Looking forward to painting some.

Any news on the rules?

HN

I have playtest rules for them... I'll share them in full shortly, but as a very quick summary:

• basic troops are 15pts with Ranger and a single stone combat recast.
• The bows lose the recast, but have a short 2-stone ranged attack.
• The Yirnak are a bit tougher and have Charge.
• I'm unsure of the captains yet, but they'll have slightly better stats and possibly Scout.
• The Skinner (2 knives) is a beast handler accompanied by skerrats. He will be good in combat and have Scout, but I'm not certain of the details beyond.
• Skerrats will feature quite a lot in the Dhogu force - fast moving little critters that will be useful in support.

I hope that's a good start!

Really nice figures once again. Will have to have a chat about bulk buying deals... I'm already thinking through the options for a Delgon force to oppose my Fubarnii, along with the Fubarnii reinforcements.... and now these too! So many models, so little chance of smuggling them past the GF's watchful eye...  ;)

Love em......want em....... ;D

Merci sir! :D

I'm intrigued to see what the hook-stave is capable of.

HN

Two thoughts on the hookstave so far, but not fully decided yet...
1: hookstave as a sign of leadership. A bit boring, but neat.
2: hookstave denotes a beast handler - possibly lose the combat recast but gain beast handler and some sort of beast-related ability.
Or something else...

...some kind of sweeping decapitation attack?

HN

A great looking set of minis! Will they have mercenary rules?

I think you could come up with a reason they would fight along side Delgon or Empire troops

I see the dhogu working primarilly as a stand-alone force or as Delgon allies (although they won't work with greater or lesser authority). However, you could also use them as empire allies for a more northern clan, or as mercs that have relocated in the south. I'll eventually do some guidance on forces for different regions.

HI Mike - two of the guys at the Guildford Club were asking me last night if WoT was going to be at Salute this year as there's no note of it on the website as such, only the linkl at the top back to Salute 2011. May be worth putting something up? They are now of course fully informed and will be popping by - I trust you'll sell them copious quantities and get me some opponents where I've been failing!

A request has been sent to the web guy (Tom), so hopefully there will be a few updates on the site very soon!
More than happy to show your friends the game :)
