Rogue Angel Posted January 19, 2015 Rogue Angel's Collectible Series Avalonia Druid The Druidic Order still exists in Avalonia, and it's members say they descend from the Great Druids of old. They are still reclusive, and rarely reveal themselves to outsiders. Some say they still wield mystical powers of great strength. Albion Cutpurse All large cities have their shady side, and Albion is no different. The City is awash in thieves, charlatans and footpads, and this cutpurse looks to be on his way to fence some ill-gotten gains. Elven Sentinel Most every Elven Clan has a wilderness they permanently inhabit. They serve as caretakers of these wilds and as part of this, they typically pose sentinels to watch for any intruders or encroachers. Albion Pastry Chef The wealthier citizens of Albion have a more refined palate, and are willing to pay for finer fare. The Pastry chef caters to a very exclusive clientele, who prefer the most exquisite of bakery. Mitgardia Elven Ranger The Elves of Mitgardia are more sparsely populated than in the southern realms, and Elven Rangers are seasoned warriors who can fend for themselves, and live off the land for months at a time. Dwarven Axeman The Axeman are the backbone of most Dwarven forces, the axe being one of the most heavily favored Dwarven arms. As with the Rangers, the hearty axemen are more than capable of weathering the harsh Mitgardian winters. Mountain Man The far northern reaches of Mitgardia are desolate and uninviting. It takes a certain type of man to call these lands home, but there are trappers, miners and hunters who enjoy living far from civilization. Or far from the law. Gnomish Artificer The Gnome are obsessed with mechanics, alchemy and technology, and the Artificer excels at creating mechanical tools and constructs. "For gnomes, technology is the heart of simplicity, for through technology the burden of simple tasks may be relieved, so that every gnome has more time to focus on developing more technology to relieve more simple tasks, - Gnomish adage Kaliphlin Spearman The Kaliphlin guardsman patrol across the Guild, and the spear is often their weapon of choice. These guardsman can endure the searing heats and barren expanses of the Kaliphlin wastes in their efforts to protect merchants and travelers. Gorilla Mariner The Gorilla Tribes have little interaction with the neighboring villages of their homeland, but they are much more prolific on the seas of Historica, and Gorilla Mariners can usually be found in most every major port from Nocturnus to Mitgardia. Scribe Kaliphlinites seems to think that their every whim should be recorded for posterity, and have even established a University to house their whims. With such an effort being spent on writing these whims down, the scribe is one of the most professions in Kaliphlin. Seraphim Lance The Seraphim inhabit the skies of Kaliphlin, but few know of their existence. They have long battled the Ravens flocks of Nocturnus, but this is a saga that plays out unbeknownst to the Kaliphlinites below. Nocturnus Drow Taskmaster The Drow are an evil race that inhabit the subterranean reaches that extend across Historica, but are often seen in most Nocturnus Cities, and occasionaly Kaliphlin ports looking to purchase slaves or more exotic wares. Lycanthropist A number of the Werwolf tribes of Nocturnus have accumulated vast sums of wealth over the years, and the Lycnathropists travel across Nocturnus, seeking to provide assistance to those in need. Their are tales that some werewolves tell their young, of werewolves that turn into humans, and steal and swindle others out of their money instead, but these are just meant to scare them. Fang of the Dragon The Dragon Clan of Nocturnus is said to be one of the strongest factions in Nocturnus, and the Fang of the Dragon is the order of Samurai that give alleigance to the Dragon Clan. They are formidable opponents, and often form the main line of attack in Clan wars. Orc Farmer The orcs are seen as a nuisance or threat in most of the guilds, but in Nocturnus, there is a large number of Orc Farmers, that want nothing more than to live in the comfort of their own hovel with their swine by their side, and live out their days in tranquility. Thanks for checking this out! This will not be a contest entry, but I thought it was a fantastic idea by Ecc, so I posted my own series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunman Posted January 19, 2015 Pastry chef is my favourite :) Cool series man! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordDan Posted January 19, 2015 The pastry chef and the orc farmer are my favorites. I also love the lantern from the gorilla mariner. Great series! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slegengr Posted January 19, 2015 Nice series, Rogue Angel! I particularly like the elven ranger, mountain man, Kaliphlin spearman, and the gorilla mariner's lantern! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MiloNelsiano Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Some great figs here! My favorite is the mountain man. That cake is perfect, and I am definitely borrowing that lantern design. Edited January 19, 2015 by MiloNelsiano Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue Angel Posted January 19, 2015 So I have had these figs assembled since Mid-December, and have just been waiting on time to photograph and prepare the pictures/post. I had been initially viewing the other series, and then decided to hold off so that I wouldn't subconcsiously copy someone else. I just checked out Captain Braunsfeld's figs and saw that he has a pastry cook! What are the chances? I promise though that I did not copy his idea. You know the saying, "Great minds think alike" so do ours! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know the saying, "Great minds think alike" so do ours! I have the same issue - have my figs ready, just haven't gotten around to posting them yet. And so many of my ideas seems to be taken by others already - and what do you know - even TLG announced their series and have stolen one of my ideas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Carson Haupt- Posted January 19, 2015 That lantern is awesome!! Mind if I use the design? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Gidman Posted January 19, 2015 These are great! My favorite is the Mountain Man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld Posted January 19, 2015 My two favorites in there are: Albion Pastry Chef - The cake is much better than my version (sigh) - what brick is that yellow coating? Gnomish Artificer (makes me think of the gnome in Baldur's Gate, what was his name again? (Jan Jansen in the German version)) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tomsche Posted January 19, 2015 Pastry and the Seraph are mya favorites, but overall I find this a very `playable` series, great work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ecclesiastes Posted January 19, 2015 Love the dwarf and that pastry is well a great idea! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Vladivus Posted January 19, 2015 Seraph is great, and I love the idea of the lycanthropist haha! That pastry is great too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hammerstein NWC Posted January 19, 2015 Have to agree with the above comments, pastry chef and Orc farmer are my faves, but the lantern stands out for me as best NPU evar! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted January 19, 2015 The Pastry Chief's cake and the Gorilla Mariner's lantern are both excellent! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MKJoshA Posted January 20, 2015 Wow! I like so many! Favs are the pastry chef, mountain man, gnomish artificer, and the orc farmer! I love your use of the Witch King's crown and I have to ask, where is the Spearman's torso from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccoyed Posted January 20, 2015 Really dig that lantern design, and there are many other cool ideas here. Favorites, though, are the pastry chef and lycanthropist (one of the funniest ideas in the whole challenge). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike S Posted January 20, 2015 All around great series! The gnome might be my favorite... but like I said on flickr that lantern is genius! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MassEditor Posted January 20, 2015 Great figs and descriptions, the Mitgards in particular stand out here. So I have had these figs assembled since Mid-December, and have just been waiting on time to photograph and prepare the pictures/post. I had been initially viewing the other series, and then decided to hold off so that I wouldn't subconcsiously copy someone else. I just checked out Captain Braunsfeld's figs and saw that he has a pastry cook! What are the chances? I promise though that I did not copy his idea. You know the saying, "Great minds think alike" so do ours! I've been worrying about the same thing myself, and it gets harder and harder the longer I wait. There is so much, eh, "inspiration" already out there that when I finally get around to doing my series, it'll probably look like a copy of everyone's.

soccerkid6 Posted January 20, 2015 All of these are great figs that fit well in GoH The Pastry chef (great cake!) and Mitgardian ranger (the double cape design is sweet) are my two favorites Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue Angel Posted January 20, 2015 Thanks for all the comments! The lantern design is up for grabs. When I saw it on the LotR figure initially, I knew I'd be able to do something with it, and I'm happy with the result. The torso for the Kaliphlin Spearman is from the Prince of Persia fort. I did an initial series with more soldiers, and I realized I was using other people's designs that I had used when I created my forces back in 2013 (Derfel's Avalonian with the Viking shield, Masa's Kalihplin guards, etc.) so I retooled and went with a more civilian series. My first round did not have the Footpad, the Pastry Chef, the Gorilla Mariner or the Seraphim. Also, I was a little too happy with my Lycanthropist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kabel Posted January 24, 2015 Very nice collection of figs RA. The combination of parts is really nice but the best are all those nice little gimmicks you put into the figures' hands. And the cake has got to be the greatest of those! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
