Title: Warmaster Scale Nagash Proxy ideas?
Post by: David Wasilewski on August 21, 2014, 12:54:55 PM: Does anyone have any ideas for a figure that could be used as the basis for making a Nagash figure for Warmaster?

I would envisage it fitting on a 25mm round base and being about 20mm high?

Post by: Geep on August 22, 2014, 04:24:47 AM: I tried googling 20mm clown, but none quite fit...

You'd probably be best off making your own, if you can find a 20mm skeleton as a base.

Post by: kyussinchains on August 28, 2014, 03:46:12 PM: given how *huge* the new model is, I think you'd easily get away with using a 28mm skeleton as a basis

I think this guy would be perfect. Admittedly he's more warrior than high mage but the screaming skull motif and tattered cape are great.

WHAT?! Â£9 for one, count it, ONE, yes ONE plastic figure! Ye gods that's obscene!

Would be Â£7 on Wayland Games, less if you were patient on eBay.

Post by: Draccan on September 02, 2014, 03:56:26 PM: I would go 15mm.

28mm in Warmaster scale looks wrong. Forget what GW do with Warhammer. I think an imposing 15mm lord could work well.

Another choice is the demonic entity far left, from this 20mm range:

or

Cheap enough and somewhat smaller than GW minis and faces can easily be altered to something more skeleton-like..

Post by: kyussinchains on September 04, 2014, 08:30:41 AM: that final reaper mini is damn near perfect! also good to see Tim Prow has been busy since his Eavy Metal days :)
Title: Re: Warmaster Scale Nagash Proxy ideas?
Post by: Stormwind on September 04, 2014, 11:53:53 AM: Wow! I'd love that mini to use as a Tomb King general, maybe.
Title: Re: Warmaster Scale Nagash Proxy ideas?
Post by: David Wasilewski on September 04, 2014, 04:12:25 PM: I agree, that last Reaper mini is spot on!

Post by: Stormwind on October 09, 2014, 07:03:44 PM: Well - wow! I would say that's a perfect proxy!
Title: Re: Warmaster Scale Nagash Proxy ideas?
Post by: marell le fou on October 09, 2014, 11:07:50 PM: Yep, nice one.

I dont like the two swords in the back, but they could be usefull changed into spirit swarms, flying around and crossing behind the main character. Some few cuts, green stuff, and inclusions of 10 mm undead figs, and i think it would stand the comparison with the 28mm diorama.
