I like the dwarfs. The one on the right is my fav.

Is something going on with Christia's hand holding the sword? Looks off to me. Could be the angle of the picture.

Hostrom Hammersmite looks nice, but I wonder why his hammer is so small?

[Nameless]

cause it's realistic?

[arctica]

The detail is nice, im liking their range of minis more and more.

[sea.man]

cause it's realistic?

but less fantasy!

The Dwarfs are my favourites!

Thansk guys.

About Hostrom's Hammer... I worked in construction for most of my life. Oen of the things I did was build forms fro concrete foundations and bust up existign concrete for replacement. In that line of work i swung a LOT of hammers. I have seen people do amazing things with sledgehammers. I have watched my dad drive one stake after another with one 8 lb maul in each hand without ever missing the top of the stake! REALLY hard to do. But the one thing I have NEVER seen, is anyone use a 12 lb maul for more than two strokes at a time with needing to rest. They are clumsy, unweildy and a hell of a lot more heavy than their wieght might suggest. Also the longer the haft, the more unweildly the hammer becomes.

Hostrom's " Smiter " about the size of a 12 lb maul. I choose to err on the side of realism because I am trying to establish that identity for the RBG line. High fantasy is all well and good, but are more than enough of those lines out there. i want to be a little different without going too far. One thign I am going to be striving for more and more is a very " historical " look to the RBG figures. It will still be romanticized, but much less so than other competing ranges I think.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. ALL comments- positive or negative - are always welcome. Keep a look out over the weekend for the rest of the release to go up for pre order!

Great work and good explanation, personally im a fan of the smaller hammer, it does seem alot more realistic and it is good to deviate from the "norm" and do something different, you'll get noticed more. can't wait for the next releases
