Time for the Great Awakening

Here's an unboxing of a few Awaken Realms Demigods.

As you can see, the sculpting and casting is very nice, top notch!  You also get various options.  

They would not be very difficult to magnetize if you wanted to use all of them.

These were easy to prep, and the resin is a very nice silky texture.  Sometimes resin can be either slick or rough.  Not so here!  It was great :-)

I chose some options, and put them together.

Both of the Demigods are epic, and will be very fun to paint!

I created a few bases for them, each one is 60mm.  Again, these are Demigods, so they are on the larger side.

I want to have some designs on the marble floor that reflects those of the banner and armor filigree.

Lots of vines will be placed on the base, leading you up to that top level.

Yes indeed, bark 'n branch had to be part of the basing on one of these guys.  I think I will see how some of the paper foliage looks on this one.

One more link/reminder!!

The Awakening

As you all have noticed, the last 18 months or so has seen my obsession with new and interesting miniatures grow to ever higher levels.

We really live in a golden age of miniatures, where the choices just get more amazing!

You have seen many examples of those here, especially in the early phases.  Lots of those have been fully prepped, and are being painted.  They have proven to be just as enjoyable to paint as I had anticipated.

Another set of miniatures will be added to that list, as some Awaken Realms figures are on the way from across the sea.

The images of painted figures in this post are NOT mine. I figured it would be safe to show them here, as you also know that I don't use an airbrush.

Here we see a set of Demigods from Awaken Realms.

This montage gives you the best idea of all the pictures, displaying the evolution from concept art, to render, to a miniature that was cast and painted.

I am really looking forward to getting a chance to paint this one.  I have all sorts of ideas for the base, etc.

What strikes me most about each sculpt is the flowing lines.  This stylized look is what drew me in.  It is wonderful for my brushwork, as the larger rounds and filberts will be able to dance across these long, unbroken surfaces.

I will be able to do a lot of blending right there on the figure.

There are also Heroes in the game, such as this character.

Yet another example of the journey from concept to actual miniature.  Again, the unique lines and proportions of these figures should allow for many interesting effects.  I can see a lot of subtle color transitions going on with the armor!

This is just a few of many pledge options.  I wanted to show these to let you know that there is indeed a game connected with all these fantastic figures!

We see some of the early unlocks.  I especially like the one at $40k.  Yes indeed... a must have!!

This seemed to be the best way to give you a sampling of the Demigods and Heroes.

So, once I have the figures in hand, I will do the traditional unboxing post, complete with basing.

Stay tuned, and be sure to visit the campaign!!
