The World Of Twilight

Hi Worldoftwilight-forum. I'm from Scandinavia.

I did follow the last wave of releases with interest, mainly the eragu and casanii cultures.

Their original designs and long legs could possibly be used for a neat conversion idea i have in mind.
I think they could make an interesting take on a jumpy vaguely amphibian fantasy football team, which is what i plan to use them as.
The casanii makes me think of a gecko and would be pretty spot on if the hooves where changed into something more froglike.
Of course I will have to wait and see until more different eragu/casanii models become available, but from the pictures I have seen online they look to be about the right size (28-30 mm) and would hopefully work without to much Customization work
(maybe just fix the feet and slap on some shoulder pads and they are almost good to go :) ) ...

Of course I could also be so lucky that one of the twilight sculptors would find the idea appealing and have an interest in bringing the creatures to the green pitch ?
During the last year there have been some very successful miniature campaigns on indiegogo, where small independent miniature companies have received crowd funding to make new fantasy football miniatures. The FF community seems willing to support strong designs financially.

There was a character design competition last year and one of the entires was a mounted Fubarnii sportsman. So they do have a sports culture as well as a trading one. Also I would like to see this kickstarted or indigo-ed etc

My son, Tom, designed the sportsplaying Fubarnii. We keep thinking we should work out some rules for the game!

Hi tusmørke!

I've always had a soft spot for Bloodbowl... No plans to do a 'fantasy football' team, although I have been tempted. The protofubarnii test sculpt I did earlier this year has a much more amphibian feel to it, but it'll be a while before I do many more. The casanii will get some attention at some point, but the new baby has rather limited my sculpting time of late. The Casanii and Eragu are approximately human sized, being quite a lot larger than the normal fubarnii.

I think the Devanu would work pretty much as they are with a suitable paintjob - they already have open hands and scraps of armour so wouldn't need much converting if you wanted a couple of larger players.

I have other projects that would probably get the crowdfunding treatment first, although it's not a bad idea  :)

Do share  ;D

There's a little range of figures that I've got Mark working on - I'm vaguely pondering if a small kickstarter would be a good way to release them. Might work well for the big resin critter.
Then there's Book 3 I want to release, not to mention Twilight Mk2. They are both in the pipeline, but delayed a bit until the baby is a little older and I have the time to do them properly!
I am sending some sculpts off to the casters tomorrow though, so there will be new things to see soon  :)

Ooo coolies, sounds interesting :D

Ok, no indiegogo. then I will have to convert : )
my plan is to use the eragu warriors for linemen and the eragu captain for blitzers.
(when will the original resin eragu come back ? cant see him anywhere on the ebay shop ?)
Roban the hunter could pass as a kroxigor/big guy and the casanii as catchers.

could you possibly post a picture of the eragu next to a casanii and roban ?

The original resin eragu will probably only be available at shows (or if you ask me nicely). He's identical to components used in the metal versions though. They'll be very easy to convert - just one hand to figure out.
I'll try to do you a family shot showing all the different fubarnii (and enarii) races.

Thanks  :)

What I meant to say were that I thought there were 3 different metal eragu sculpts but i can only see 2 in the shop ?(http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/20886_527969197266125_1062097135_n.jpg)

3 different bodies (captain plus two troops), 2 right hands (open and closed) and 3 weapon hands (big axe, small axe and harpoon). They are sold as one set containing a pair of troops and the captain separately. The resin model had one of the trooper bodies and the big axe.
