Tre Manor of Red Box Games has just posted previews of two beasts included in their next scheduled release. Both models should be available in about two weeks (pending confirmation from the caster).
The Fenris beast (top) is the first strong competition I’ve seen for Tom Meier’s giant wolves (stalking, baying); I actually think Tre has outdone Tom with this sculpt. I hope more are coming, as one of these will not be enough.
According to Tre, the Nether Beast shown here is just one of three in development (the other two are about 95 and 50 percent done). As it’s rather massive (that’s a 40mm base it’s standing on), the sculpt will be cast in resin.
For the past four years I’ve been looking for proper mounts for an old-school goblin/ogre/orc/troll/giant army I’ve been working on, and you can’t imagine my elation when I saw the Nether Beast and learned there were two more in the pipe. Part lizard, part bull, hints of dragon, a dash of human anatomy, built for speed on the back and strength on the front–perfect!
I’m ordering these as soon as they are available (plus several other models on my RBG to-buy list). Expect a review sometime soon.
