Title: Sculpt suggestions
Post by: Carcharoth on July 10, 2015, 01:39:28 pm
What would you like to see added to the Twilight range?
A recent comment about the need for an alternate grishak jenta has got me wondering if there are other things you would like to see sculpted that I might have forgotten about... Feel free to use this thread to encourage/cajole/bully me into sculpting things. You can suggest anything you like, either things I've commented on previously or completely new stuff.
I'll probably ignore your suggestions, but I will at least read them first and they might just inspire me ;)

The list:
- Mounted Herder Reyad
- Empire Commander on Enuk
- Nobleguard with crossbows
- Nobleguard heavy cavalry
- Engu shipwright
- trader/elder rider for the belan
- derak on yirnak
- yirnak rider captain (possibly just sculpt a new warlord and demote the current one!)
- single piece dhogu!

One thing that always intrigued my, though I'm guessing you'd need to do a new book volume to do it justice, is the boat that set sail heading to the east and was never seen again.  Where are they now, how have they developed/evolved and what creatures have they encountered.  I know this is vague and not an actual specific sculpt but there must be lots ideas running around in you head about this?

Ooh, now there's something I want to visit properly at some point!

One of the city ships crashed and formed Majorn anis. The fate of the other is less certain... I have a good idea what I would like to do with them, but telling the story of a completely new country will be a big undertaking! At some point there will be hints (as happened with the frenu/kedashi) and maybe in five or ten years time I'll get around to telling more of that story...

(It probably won't involve a man o war scale ship game centred around the floating city itself, although that is something I considered for a while and would have been a lot of fun to do!)

That would make a cool game, a whole different scale.
With airbaloons and sea-monsters :).

The world of Anyaral sure has a lot of growth potential and I wait patiently to see what the future holds.

I love the idea of a ship game though given the Fubarnii fear of the water I imagine any such engagements wouldn't be massive.


Title: Re: Sculpt suggestions
Post by: Carcharoth on July 14, 2015, 12:27:14 pm
I doubt that the ship idea will ever actually happen, but maybe some day... I have a fairly good vision for the Empire ships, but I never worked out a decent set of antagonists!


Title: Re: Sculpt suggestions

From the known races, only the Fubarnii seem to be able to build ships or have intentions to travel across water. So you would be rather limited.
Unless you release something new, but this would have a serious impact on the world as a whole.
Could be there are some swimming/seafaring garkrid though.
I can easily imagine a large cockroach/lobster like creatures with only it's back above the water.

I suppose you might get a certain degree of piracy. Plus, those clans along the coasts might be a bit more 'competitive' given that they far less likely to be operating under the eyes of the Emperor.

Fibrin save the droba? ;)

Other things I've been thinking I should do...
- Mounted Herder Reyad
- Empire Commander
- Nobleguard with crossbows
- Nobleguard heavy cavalry
What do you think?


Title: Re: Sculpt suggestions
Post by: Lost Egg on August 02, 2015, 06:53:02 pm
All good ideas sir :)

How about an Engu engineer? Or at least their version...a sort of shaman maybe?


Title: Re: Sculpt suggestions
Post by: Carcharoth on August 03, 2015, 10:54:29 am
An Engu shipbuilder?


Title: Re: Sculpt suggestions
Post by: Lost Egg on August 03, 2015, 05:37:10 pm
Ooo nice :D:D:D


Title: Re: Sculpt suggestions
Post by: Kryptovidicus on August 05, 2015, 08:20:41 am
An Engu shipbuilder?

Ouh, that sounds like a nice sculpt!
He will probably be another civilian

I like the shaman idea, but perhaps they have a better place among the more savage Dhogu.


Title: Re: Sculpt suggestions
Post by: Lost Egg on August 05, 2015, 08:33:58 am
The Engu are bigger than the other Fubarnii so he won't presumably be another civilian.

I could imagine a ship builder would be a dual character in the eyes of the community...on the one had they are kinda the gate keepers to food and prosperity (no ship builder, no whale meat and so no food) but at the same time its not going to be uncommon for whale hunters to drown. I think they would be respected but feared at the same time.

Hello all.
Sorry for not posting on the Forum recently. Had a major Waterloo project since Salute for the 200th anniversary.
Does not look like I'll get a terrain piece finished. Well done to those who are working on theirs.

This seems an interesting thread.

My thoughts ...

Engu - need some more variety eg Boat-builder as mentioned. Then I got thinking about maritime communities - tatooists, prostitutes, etc not sure how these would fit into Anyaral though!
Nobleguard also need variety - cavalry, chariots?
Devanu characters, possibly fubarnii captives?
Delgon civilians
Dhogu priest of some sort. Also could the Delgon have given them a gun of some sort that they could mount?

Just some initial ideas.


Title: Re: Sculpt suggestions
Post by: serin on August 05, 2015, 10:19:07 pm
Sorry, should have clarified - I meant the Delgon gave the Dhogu a gun to mount on a Yirnak - they look like they could accommodate one!


Title: Re: Sculpt suggestions

On Sunday somebody asked about at trader to ride on the belan - I really should add that to the list!


Title: Re: Sculpt suggestions
Post by: The Slann on September 01, 2015, 10:26:04 am
Isn't there a pic of an elder riding one somewhere in the rb?


Title: Re: Sculpt suggestions
Post by: Carcharoth on September 01, 2015, 10:41:16 am
Yes there is. I also have that picture on one of my banners, which prompted the conversation in the first place!
I should probably just sculpt a little piece that can sit snuggly on top of the current laden belan.

Oh yeah, that would be cool !


Title: Re: Sculpt suggestions
Post by: GrimSnik on September 01, 2015, 12:46:08 pm
a rider for the belan would be very cool.  and maybe an unladen baruk to help fill out my herds?   ;D   ;) ;)


Title: Re: Sculpt suggestions
Post by: Carcharoth on September 01, 2015, 01:42:59 pm
Out of interest, would you prefer an unladen belan baruk or a new similar sized beast?


Title: Re: Sculpt suggestions
Post by: Ilnar on September 01, 2015, 02:11:35 pm
an unladen belan, but with options for either a rider, or a different cargo set.


Title: Re: Sculpt suggestions
Post by: Carcharoth on September 01, 2015, 04:34:07 pm
I meant to say baruk!

why not both?   ;D  ;)   unladen baruk AND a new beast.  if I had to choose though I'd want an unladen baruk to fit with the already sculpted unladen enuk and belan.....


Title: Re: Sculpt suggestions
Post by: TuffSkull on September 01, 2015, 05:32:02 pm
I'd like to see an un laden baruk, as it makes sense to have spares beside a trade caravan. A young'un would be simply awesome too!

With regards the trader lord type - why mount him on the laden belan - would it not be more fitting, and indeed easier to make fit, literally, putting him atop an otherwise I laden one?


Title: Re: Sculpt suggestions
Post by: Lost Egg on September 01, 2015, 06:27:50 pm
What about a Yirnak transporting goods? I imagine both the Engu & the Dhogu would use them.


Title: Re: Sculpt suggestions
Post by: Carcharoth on September 24, 2015, 03:55:14 pm
Just to show I pay attention to this thread...
I've pretty much finished an elder that will hopefully sit neatly atop the laden belan... I like how he's looking but I'm slightly nervous how the snug fit will survive the casting!
Next up is an unladen belan, mainly so I can give him a rider later  :)


Title: Re: Sculpt suggestions
Post by: serin on September 27, 2015, 08:22:05 pm
I am confused (easily done) - I thought there was already an unladen Belan sculpt. ???


Title: Re: Sculpt suggestions
Post by: serin on September 27, 2015, 08:41:14 pm
Whilst I am in this thread, we have been told to pester, so I shall pester away:

Engu boat-builder needs sculpting
The new Grishak jentas are overdue
A long while ago there was mention of alternative unarmoured Enuks and possibly some young ones to flesh out the herd - they would be nice ;)

Baruk.
Not belan.
Silly names  ::)

Cre and I have been discussing the boat builder. He's slowly getting bumped up the list.
Grishak jenta are certainly overdue.
I hadn't thought about the Enuk for a long while. Good suggestion!

I'd love to see a northern monster...some kind of Snow Beast.

It does seem a little odd seeing her without any goods strapped to her back :D

Just nudging this forward again - one out of three is a start!

Yup, getting there!
Must do those Grishak jenta! I keep getting distracted by new stuff...
Those Enuk are a good idea. Thanks for the reminder. As an aside, there's an unladen baruk with the casters at the moment.
