New Slann miniatures project?

blitzers

[J_Bone]

J_Bone, for me (hopeful hint hint! ), I imagine catchers to be like Red-eyed tree frogs and Flying frogs as they are slim fragile frogs (ST 2, AV 7) with long limbs (2+ leap/ MV 7) and massively webbed feet (natural base ball-style catchers mit!)

Haha... Maybe they will... Just maybe.

I like the solid-looking frog in your illustration. Most Slann are ST3 and a lot of ST3 players are heavily muscled.

From GW standard most ST3 players are much thinner, this represents better a tough player (there is no toughness stat) of AV8 instead of AV7, like dwarves and orcs without armor.
I also like the concept art.

I see your point but most Slann are AV8 as well

That's why I think the concept art is spot on if it is not representing a catcher, in my opinion you make the miniatures thinner with armor (like Calasins from Impact, dark elves, humans...) or tough as those without armor to represent AV8. The catcher should be more flimsy.

Very good concept! Looking forward to see more of this team!

Good luck and enjoy the creative process

While I am not interested in a full Slaan team, I would be highly interested in the two Slaan star players to complete my Lizardmen team because that concept art is fantastic!

Time for another concept reveal!

THE BLITZER!



We are looking at doing these with a variety of helms in order to add customisation options as well...

nice! personally, I like head #2.

I like head 2, but the eye slits on head 1 give a better 'frog' impression.

amusingly enough, the eyes are why I like helmet #2 better.

Supercool! The helmets remind me of 2nd ed skaven blitzers. I will be buying this for sure.

That was my initial though too. Head 1 looks more 'froggy', and is a bit less directly evocative of the skaven blitzer, so that's my vote.

If there's going to be 4 blitzers though, there's lots of room to fit both heads.
