New releases TOW
Added 2024-12-09 16:08:23 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
With the latest releases for Warhammer: The Old World, we’ve noticed a shift towards a more exaggerated fantasy style. We’d love to hear what you think about this direction.
What do you prefer? A design that leans more into fantasy, or something that sticks closer to a historicist aesthetic?
Thank you for being part of our community and for helping us grow with your ideas.

Cierto que las minis que están sacando tienen un aire más "cartoon", pero creo que lo que os hace destacar es el "realismo ( más plausible)" de las vestimentas, armaduras etc... Alta fantasía con aire cartoon creo que se alejaría bastante de vuestra esencia.

2024-12-10 07:18:11 +0000 UTCI always liked how you approach fantasy armies from a historical perspective; you look at them, choose a historical aesthetic, and make the miniatures accordingly. Neverra, High Kingdom... all your miniatures look like a good mix of realism and fantasy. I like that!

2024-12-09 21:00:29 +0000 UTCI hope you'll keep the same aesthetic so your range keep going, this is the reason I'm in

2024-12-09 20:02:09 +0000 UTCI very much like your current aesthetics

2024-12-09 18:36:44 +0000 UTCThe reason I support Last Sword (and I suspect there is a natural tendancy here to lean that way, after all they've specifically chosen to sub) is because I like you YOU guys do. If I wanted OTT ranges then I'd not be here. Maybe there is a bigger market out there for AoS-esque designs, but AoS drove me away from GW. It's quite possible there would be more people out there that would like it, but personally I'd be sad to lose the great, grounded work I am sure you will create in the future with the current aesthetics. My wife would be 100% behind me not making more of your minis though. She insists the HE and Middenheim armies are enough. I think she is wrong

2024-12-09 18:11:53 +0000 UTCI print this patreon purely for The Old World. I like where its currently at in terms of style. if anything, id love more interchangeable parts to kitbase with existing games workshop models. For my bretonnia i swapped in heads, arms, and bodies to make my knights more personalized.

2024-12-09 18:11:23 +0000 UTCallways warhammer fantasy and 40k was a exageration of fantasy and scify, they dont try to hide it, its the point that atraction not a regular or plane fantasy style, i like the style and actual moddels.

2024-12-09 17:47:57 +0000 UTCI agree.

2024-12-09 17:14:50 +0000 UTCI support this Patreon because of the Aesthetic. It is refreshing to have more grounded look to fantasy miniatures. I feel these designs are fanciful but are still something that could be plausible. I dislike the over the top, overly stylized miniatures that are a dime a dozen. Everybody makes miniatures like that. If I wanted that, I would support an artist that focuses on that style instead of yours.

2024-12-09 17:14:23 +0000 UTCI say keep as is. You struck a good balance. Don’t over think it, you have your own fantasy style and I love it.

2024-12-09 17:00:08 +0000 UTCIf I can suggest something: make the historical aesthetic the baseline and have the fantastical elements as upgrades/optional extras.

2024-12-09 16:59:28 +0000 UTCI agree, there is also the context of the figure. Something like a chaos character I tend to give more leniency for fantastical proportions and style because they are full of magical power, etc. A regular human needs to feel more like a regular human.

2024-12-09 16:52:59 +0000 UTCThe biggest reason why I like your ministures so much is the style, which is not such a WOW style.

2024-12-09 16:46:58 +0000 UTCFor me, the realism of the figure has little to do with proportion or flamboyancy of equipment, and much more to do with the *posing*. The images you attached have highly fantastical armor and weaponry, but feel believable because of the way they carry their weapons, gesture, and stand. That is what draws me to Last Sword (and other talented sculptors) for use in wargames.

2024-12-09 16:41:24 +0000 UTCI generally like it historically inspired but with touches of high fantasy.

2024-12-09 16:29:02 +0000 UTCI prefer Last Sword minis to the ones from the old world because of the more grounded and historical style. I don’t like the exaggerated proportions of the fantasy stuff. When helmets are bigger than torsos and weapons are so big they would need a crane to use, i lose the immersion into the setting.
Dominic
2024-12-09 16:23:10 +0000 UTCHonestly I collect whfb (pre old world) and I really love the fantasy elements and proportions for that sort of adjacent stuff (like fantasy wood elves and the like) so I can use them as stand ins. Having said that I think the naturalistic viking stuff is amazing and I hope you keep doing that as well.

2024-12-09 16:21:23 +0000 UTCI'd rather prefer models that look like warhammer old world style... To be honest I only use the models you create as old world proxy...
Hellric
2024-12-09 16:15:58 +0000 UTCI have been subscribed almost from the start to this patreon. I only play TOW and AoS as my fantasy games. I use your mini's 100% for these games, thus the closer to those settings (without getting in trouble) the better for me. :D
Tonny
2024-12-09 16:15:30 +0000 UTCwhat made me keep Last Sword regardless of whether i want to use these models immediately or not, is this style you guys have. The over the top warcraft style is relly offputting to me.
Adam Rzymowski
2024-12-09 16:15:02 +0000 UTCI like the existing style you have for fantasy minis, that it was attracted me in the first place.

2024-12-09 16:14:40 +0000 UTCWarhammer Fantasy hasn't had a "realistic" approach for about twenty years, since mid-6th edition. 7th went crazy and it hasn't been toned down since.
