Stalkers of Caxuatn WIP - Pics of all poses (page 3)

I see I am not the only one who doesn't care for round/oval bases. Stick to the basics! Square bases all around!

Quit being modest, the model looks great! (Although, being a bit of a perfectionist myself, I do understand. )

 

You're definitely not alone.

Or better yet square bases "not-a-round"

 

Ba Dum Tss! Schooled

 

Thanks a lot guys, its really motivating.

About bases....

I originally wanted it to come with a merged base, like Woogitys kroxes, but then realized it would take away customizablity from whoever wants a set.

Its not up to me to decide what base its to go on, especially not as I think it will be used for other stuff than my homecooked rules.
Then again: I think its bad service if there isn't a base.
its not like its expensive to get of ebay, i'd rather just save customers the trouble (yes, I am considering making a Minitature webshop, have Beastmen concept coming up next)

Question: Would it be a dealbreaker if not bases where included at all?

 

i wouldnt say a dealbreaker but i think some kind of base should be included

 

message received

 

the rounded bases just look better from a showcase point of view to me at least if you field it as a singular model then in my opinion its just gonna look better than a square base

edit: not that theres anything wrong with squares of course

 

Not to be the pointy finger, but i'd rather have the discussion of what bases are best somewhere else

As I am a supporter of 9th Age, I will try to provide 50x100 bases for these guys.
I, however also prefer oval bases for showcasing

 

So, here are pictures of the 4 poses I have fitted out.
I had another more dynamic one made (pouncing forward) but do to an extremely anoying (and very well hidden) flaw in the sculpt, I consider it lost.

These guys needs a little retouch (see shoulder of pose 3 and 4), but then I consider them ready for production.
One of my friends is going to hook me up with one of his friends, who appearantly have exactly what I need to get these out!
And its even in my own city!

 

Nice. I quite like the middle two. What did you use as a reference for your poses?

 

Thanks SP!
Due to the original theme of Huanchi, I still imagine them as scaly cats.
I tried to capture how Jaguars and Tigers move,
Pose 2 lashes out with its Paw like an angered cat would, Pose 3 is getting ready to pounce

 

Awesome, Phatmofo
I'm glad you got refocused.
are you still tweaking?

the first is stalking
body pressed low to sneak up close
strikes without warning

pose 2 is my fave
I would raise the claw a bit
- just before the strike

three about to pounce
should have body back a bit,
hind legs coiled like springs

make pose 4 leader
head raised to look for target -
the pack's next victim

May Caxuatn,
God of Hunters bless you with
plenty of orders

Did you just review my sculpts with Haiku?!
Stupid question! you did!

This should be a thing!

 

I'll look into it

Well, I am waiting for a response from a guy in my city who can help me out.
When Ive spoken with him and come to terms, I will get a test-print to see if everything is as I want it to be
If it is and the rest of the poses is done: THEN!

 

Depends on the guy im waiting for ...actually.
It could actually very well be tommorow if I hear from him today

 

i am very interested in getting some of these. Great work. Been looking for a model to use for the monstrous cavalry in the salamanders KoW list
