This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Confrontation Miniatures

From Rackham. As promised, some shots of the miniatures I painted. Forgive the relatively bad lighting. Weather isn't great today.













That last one (which has seen so much actual play that I need to repair the paint in some places) was used by my wife as her character, Beket Per Aau-Nu, a Kemite monk worshipping the Old Man, in my Ptolus campaign. Here's the first level writeup:

Beket Per Aau-Nu, female human monk worshipping the Old Man, acolyte of the Watcher of the Skies. She knows Helmut Itlestein for being a regular at the Observatory of the Watcher of the Skies in the Temple District. She originally comes from Kem, and has some Celestial Ancestry.
Monk level 1.
Feats: Celestial Ancestry, Lightning Reflexes, Iron Will, Improved Unarmed Strike.

You can learn more about this campaign on its dedicated blog: The Praemal Tales.

Really nice minis!
But why no basing at all, it would lend even some more class to it?!?

My character sheet was inexistant, and when I hastly made one the GM didn\'t care to have a look at it."

I love Confrontation minis.  I have a pile of about 30 of the old Wolfen I've been meaning to make a little skirmish force out of.

At the time I had to paint those really fast to be able to use them in my Ptolus game. So I opted for a plain black base. When I get around to repair the wear on some of my miniatures, I'm probably going to add a decent base to them as well. :)

I got a few Wolfen I still haven't painted. These suckers are huge, and awesome. :D

I too love Confrontation miniatures. I have a stack I have been meaning to paint, just been too busy of late sadly. That will change soon hopefully.

Confrontation is based in the world of Cadwallon?
What scale are the Rackham minis?
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Yes, Sean Connery\'s thumb does indeed do megadamage. - Spinachcat

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum

"Tangency Edition" D&D would have no classes or races, but 17 genders to choose from. -TristramEvans

Yes. It's the same world: Aarklash (Wikipedia entry). :)

Mega map of the world (warning, large file size!)

Quote from: CRKrueger;384990What scale are the Rackham minis?
Standard 28-30mm scale. Like D&D minis.

I'm not sure what scale they were advertised at, nor am I sure if they have changed their scale with their more recent plastic minis.  I have half a dozen female barbarian swordswomen from the late 90s or early 2000s that stand several millimeters over a GW space marine.  I think they scale out pretty close to 35mm.

Those mini's look pretty sweet.  Anybody know if they are available through any online shop on the US side of the big pond?  Just looking at those makes me want to blow the dust off of my paint brushes again.
Playing: L5R  Defending the honor of the Crane.
Playing soon:  Hopefully L5R for a while.

Hi there dekaranger. Welcome to the RPG Site. :)

See there:

There too, though these seem to be mostly the plastic, pre-painted, new ones (Rackham switched to pre-painted minis not so long ago):

You could always make Google searches with "Confrontation miniatures", "stores", "cart", "US" and keywords of the type. I'm sure you can find a store that fits your needs.

Nod. They do. They do. And... They do.

I keep checking and these are mostly PRE-painted, ALREADY assembled miniatures.

Careful before one buys, one way or the other! :)
