It's not a picture of the model on the front page, it's just art. There's no picture of the Blizzard in Genesis. :(

Then I stand corrected and add my voice to those demanding to see the model!

The miniature has been released. If your store has Genesis, it should be able to order Blizzard too. We are still in the process of getting him painted, shouldn't be long now, but it looks almost exactly like the concept art. Comes in 4 parts, 2 arms, head and the body...

I am in the process of painting the Blizzard now.

He is a heavy bugger, that's for sure... just like the Frostbite :?

Hopefully, he will be done by early next week....

It is definitely a nice figure, and a must-have trueborn 8)

OK lads (and ladies). I just finished the Blizzard. I am posting a pic here with his buddy, Mr. Frostbite :D

There are other images posted in the miniatures area.

Sweeeeet!

Why are they on teeny-tiny, pieces of ice floating on water though? Ice Caste version of skateboarding? LOL :D

Great work!!!!

Assembling mine as we speak, mainly so that I can show them off this weekend at GAMECON.

LOL, nothing nasty meant by the comment, it looks pretty cool, but does raise the question of..... why??? :D

Reminds me of those "Battle on Ice Floes" rules I posted up before....

Actually, it goes back to earlier this year, when I first started painting DA figs.

I had no idea what the rules were, the factions, etc. I didn't even know what the Dragyri were. I had seen something on the website about "Ice Caste" and Ice elementals, so I thought I would try out my new sculpey technique making these ice bases:lol:

It's one of those things where you start doing something a certain way, and then you are stuck with it for the sake of consistency :?

Of course now I have a much better sense of the game, and who everybody is!

You will see this when I do my own private DA figs, along with other secret projects that I am doing for DA... hehehe.

My trueborns will not be cruising along on icy skateboards :D

Besides, these damn ice bases take forever to paint!! I have been working on 14 of them all at once, and it has taken me many hours to get them finished. :roll:

I will be posting some pics of Dragyri with a few scratchbuilt terrain pieces soon.... stay tuned :wink:

Dude, carry on with the Ice Bases coz they are sweet!!! Its just that with the Blizzard and Frostbite models, the surrounding water is more pronounced and obvious, thus raising the question of Ice Skateboards :D

I have seen similar ones for sale at a number of places, but your ones rock even more since they are all individual!

I'm a lazy bugger, thus can't be bothered (at the moment) to spend as much time on the base as on the figure................

Saying that, watch out for a 'different' diorama in the new year featuring DA minis hyuk hyuk
