Kovnik Jozef Grigorovich

When offered a promotion to kommander after a lifetime of service, Jozef Grigorovich flatly refused. Kovnik was the highest rank he could attain and still march into battle side by side with his brothers and sisters of the Winter Guard. Even Kommanant Irusk praises his tactical cunning, but the seasoned Grigorovich is most famed for his stirring speeches to men in the field, compelling even the greenest recruits to attempt acts of selfless heroism in the name of the Motherland.

Bane Lord Tartarus

Bane Lord Tartarus is both a singular weapon and a commanding general the lich lords employ to press their war on the mainland. Like all bane thralls and knights, his essence is linked to the same great void of darkness, inimical to all life, that bleeds death into Caen. Though he has mastered this energy, he cannot deny its unholy impulses, and he calls his host to join him in one slaughter after another.

Those photos REALLY suck. They need those 360s again! The Bane Lord just isn't clear enough in this crappy picture. And Grigorovich looks good...but the photo is also quite stupid (hate the angle...).

[supervike]

I totally agree, the pictures are really doing them no good. I cannot even tell what the bottom one is, and the top one just needs to be rotated to the left a bit.

[LeadAsbestos]

The "Look at my weapons!" pose that they both have ain't so hot either.

I wish PP would hire Kev White to do all the character poses.

[r2-j1]

Yeah thumbs down on the poses, especially the Khador guy. They look pretty nice otherwise.

I don't know what it is about PP photography, but lately they almost seem to go out of thier way to show thier pieces from the absolue worst angles possible. These are just the latest victims.

[vincegamer]

I wouldn't have noticed it without you mentioning it, but it does seem odd that these 2 very different minis are in exactly the same pose.

[witchfire]

on of the official PP guys sayd this about the tartarus pic :

"Heck I know what he looks like and I cant tell what he looks like by this pic."

[supervike]

Isn't that the "aren't you glad you used right guard" stance or some sort of anti-perspirant ad?

[witchfire]

the russian guy seem to be signing "if i were a rich man"
maybe he's auditioning for "fiddler on the roof":rockon:

Egads your right!!

"All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.
If I were a wealthy man."


That is too funny!

[r2-j1]

No, he is dancing the Hokey Pokey.
He has clearly put his left leg in and is now shaking it all about.

Much as I like KW's stuff, he's been responsible for a couple of PP howlers.... That Orboros box is nasty apart from the big wolf.

Khador bloke looks rubbish. Harumph. :mad:

[LeadAsbestos]

Disagree! I bought the Orboros box and the models are most excellent! The Warpwolf was perhaps the most pain-in-the-ass model to assemble I've ever encountered, but the end results are lovely.

The Wolves of Orboros, a buncha guys running through the woods in full plate, with barbed spears and full face-masks are what I hate. Nonsense idea, and crapola models.

[Spacemunkie]

I will take your most educated word for it sir!

Must be the poo pics I've seen. The 'caster (whatever they're called...) looks as though she's falling backwards and the dog things look soft. :)
