Hi deadon,

Regarding the different poses, how hard would it be to allocate poses proportionally rather than randomly? Most of my tengu rigs are of the same two poses despite having 4 packs of them. I haven't checked the others yet. It's not really a problem for the rigs as most of the posing is in the arms and they can be easily reposed, but I imagine it being a bigger problem with the infantry. Especially for the command-type figures - if there are 25 figures and one pose is a sergeant, I probably want 5 sergeants.

awesome idea! Glad to see those bits aren't going to waste.

With my older caster, going through each pack and checking for equal distribution was something that would have cost a lot of money. The new caster does not have such issues and is much better at making sure there's a good mix in each pack.

If all of your packs are like that, let me know, and I'll fix it.

What a week ! Whole family got the flu, hard drive crapped out on me and had to be replaced... ugh.

Anyways - here's a couple of VERY early wip shots of the Phantom and Revenant Barges. NOTE: All I'm doing right now is flushing out shapes (see the early pics of the Juno to see what I'm getting at). The idea is to kick around ideas of very basic shapes and ideas for the minis. Thoughts?




(thats a 20x40mm base)

Good basic start!

Will the gunners be plug-ins?

I like em! Very neat. I am generally not a huge fan of open vehicles like this, but I get the inspiration, as such within that inspiration these are great.

Honestly, I'm not crazy about it. I think it looks too much like DE Raider. Unfortunately, I can't think of any specific things to change.

On the other hand, I am unlikely to ever buy any stygians, so I'm not sure how much my opinion should count.

Great start, love the basic shape/overall look. Look forward to see you Stygianise it more.

Looks like a good start.


I disagree - if you compare the two of them, this looks pretty different. Similar ideas in some ways (sleek pointed skimmer with sails), but executed in different ways, places and shapes. I'd prefer it to stay along the lines it is now, if it goes for a very different design I wouldn't be interested in buying it.

How is it meant to work? Will it have engines that thrust it forwards while it uses the big sail rudder to steer left or right?

I assume the riders are just to demonstrate where they would sit and the finished version will be empty apart from crew? I wouldn't want riders on there.
