I'm not digging the blade on the underneath but I'm not sure why. Other than that though, it looks great.

Windsurfing on spiky boards! Love it :)

Is she holding on to the sail with both hands? It's a bit tricky to see what's happening from that angle.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Stygian command figures too, especially after seeing how well the Sisterhood ones turned out. I'll be preordering some as soon as they appear on the website.

I like it, it's different enough, but silly too. Other than that I'm not 100% sure what the appeal is for me. Other than I just like it.

I'm a fan. It has an element of sillyness in it that is awesome and offers a very distinctive visual

What about a smaller, simpler, surf board thing?

I'd get some - I like both.

How about a pose like this (with Halberds too, natch):

It looks more like it's in motion.

And yes, I don't know how to cast that. That's why you get the big bucks and I just watch in awe :)

I like both but I think the biggest issue with the first one is the pose of the person riding it, back pressed against the sail with both hands splayed like they're crucified? Doesn't seem very...martial and the gun on the front looks unwieldy to use in that set up.

Is there any chance you could get one slanted at an angle like it's turning sharply one way? To make it appear a bit more dynamic and 'in motion'?

I prefer the first one and like the underneath spike- they do need a CC weapon of some kind. Viewing angles is a problem though - they wouldn't able to see much to their right. I'd suggest moving the sail back or them forward so their head can see over it to either side.

Sorry, but the windsurfer just looks silly. To me at least :)

Nice, I like the surfer with the "sail" but if I were to build an army I would take the surfer with just a board...
Good to see some more Stygians! :)

Although the first ,to me, is much more artistic; the second looks much more functional and would be the one I prefer.

What about a design similar to both, with two smaller wings off to the side, angled like the larger vehicles, on the surf board (pic 2) and the pilot between them holding onto a control with each hand, and a weapon on the bottom?
