November Bases Poll: 25 or 32mm? (Patreon)
Content
Hello dear Adventurers and Merchants!
As we introduced the last month, we are going to pause for some time the Monthly Release Poll, and introduce many new quick polls to gather opinions and get inspiration.
For a time we want to try working on what inspire us the most and gather opinion on what, for example, should be an heroic figure, a terrain or a certain weapon set. This will surely lead to more inspired sculpts, as it's not exactly a great idea to have us sculpting a full theme of something we are not really fond of.
For example, at the moment, we are thinking that is better to have some cool Gnome heroes as bonus model here and there, rather than working on a set of Gnomes.
Well, let's get back on the topic now!
As you might know our models are based on the 32mm scale, meaning that the average human is 32mm to the eyes, but some humans can be of course taller or shorter.
In a fantasy world even sticking to a 32mm scale is so easy to have bigger or smaller models, with gnomes, orcs and towering ogres all the way, even mighty (human) barbarians and warriors that often reaches the 35mm to the eyes.
This is pretty common and popular with modern wargames and skirmish games, but we have choosen this scale because it naturally gives better result on any printer!
In our setting, the ancient Alfar heritage makes tall creatures, often surpassing the 32mm to the eyes. However, when we sculpt we make sure your can resize your model to make these sort of "elves" much smaller. We keep that in mind everytime we sculpt a detail.
These guys are often in dynamic wide stances, with the feet that almost don't fit the 25mm bases.
Its clear that we wont change the scale, but we can change the size of the bases (the same thing warhammer is doing), offering 32mm bases when needed. 32mm base would fit perfectly the Sylvan Alfar aesthetic. Also we want to mention that we will stick to round bases, and bases are always separated from the models.
A little bit Off-topic, but we wanted to show you our idea for the Sylvan Alfar Pinup bonus figure. We know you have asked for bards many times, and as knights of the ancient ballads, the Sylvan Knights set is the perfect release to make a Bard pinup!
She will have a modular sort-of-Alfar-Lute and a Sylvan Rapier.
Here a quick sketch to show you the basic idea. Of course we will develop more her appearance in Zbrush.
Please let us know in the comment your thought about 28 vs 32mm bases, we always read everything and keep in mind your opinion.
