Well, a good hobby friend, Mark Hides, has invested in the talents of Martin Buck (sculpts my Noggins of course) to produce a range of old school style Great Gnolls with separate weapons and heads.....this is to be encouraged as the old Citadel Fantasy Tribe ranges were some of the best ever.....
For the Great Gnolls, the mighty Martin Buck was commissioned to sculpt the range, which is being launched with a great selection of infantry. Martin is currently sculpting a range of Great Gnoll cavalry mounted on Wild Boars. We reckon that with the optional parts from the infantry, you could make around 1200 unique cavalry. (No that's not a typo).
Beyond the Gnolls, there will be another reimagining of another classic fantasy tribe. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
If you grew up in the 80s you'll certainly recognise where the inspiration for our models comes from. Satanic Panic Miniatures is not only reimagining the 'Golden Age Of Gaming', it's doing it in a bigger and better way than anyone has done previously.
The modular approach means that we can continuously add optional parts to existing ranges. For example, a basic 4 figure pack has somewhere around 100 possible configurations from the parts supplied
Other ranges are already being discussed, and all our ranges no matter how large or small will be multi-part. And trust me, when Martin told me the innovative things he could do with an 18mm high model, I had to do a double take.
