Volgovian Nutcracker Villain and Minion Miniatures - wisdomknight - 11-01-2012 08:52 PM
Hey guys I just started working on these minis (yes putting my other TF2 and L4D minis on hold) since Tis the Season.
Does anyone know of better (or more complete) ref art for these guys other than the Villain Sheet (from FF)?
Im guessing not, so Ill have to just find some related nutcracker pieces to go by for the "hidden" remainer of parts.
Anyone interested in seeing these by any chance when im done?

Found some ref images of generic nutcracker and toy soldiers...theyll have to do
Working on the Villain himself currently.
BTW what type of weapon is the Volgovian Villain holding? A sword?
RE: Volgovian Nutcracker Villain and Minion Miniatures - Wasteland Jack - 11-02-2012 03:26 PM
It does look like a sword, but none of his abilities mention a weapon. The only one I can remember is that crushing bite which makes the hero lose items or allies if the villain rolls a 6. Maybe you can design around this?
I would be very interested in the models by the way.
As for model inspiration, for Christmas I always look to Todd McFarlane

Ill design him with a big crushing mouth maybe.
And I have always love Todd McFarlane even back when he was just an upcoming artist doing the Hulk comic!

Off topic: I was a big Spawn fan. But after #62 I ready for something new.

Do you like Greg Cappulo's art?
I think he was an excellent replacement art-wise IMO.

Here's the Volgovian Nutcracker villain model ready for 3D printing.
I made it 40mm in height btw.
After I finish his Minions:
- Toy Soldier
- Stuffed Bear
- Toy Cannon
What AToE Villain and/or Minions would you all like to see next?
I don't see an option for a POLL in this reply.
RE: Volgovian Nutcracker Villain and Minion Miniatures - MoonSylver - 11-04-2012 04:03 AM
Ah, NOW I see the reason for the poll! Interesting...never thought of the Shapeways/3D printing...I'll be interested in hearing about your results.
