Y'know, It's kinda sad that the painters and modelers are obviously going off black and white sketches of the quality only found in your dad and his friends' DnD illustration notebooks.
HotRodKimball It can be abbreviated either way. Most people say dnd. Also dnd is used in the Dungeons and Dragons official website url. Everyone who plays knows what he meant.
you know, depending on how much those things cost, they actually seem kind of cool. The designs are a bit unique and have a kind of cool factor to them.
The best part is the backstories Ashens gives the characters. If someone made a cartoon using the stories he makes about these, it would be the best show ever.
every time I hear that grinding noise of the euroland party light... can't stop laughing. Awesome Video Dr Ashens glad to have been with you for all 300 of um.
I like how every model looks like my Warhammer 40K collection from back in the day i.e. every one is either covered in an ink wash or dry-brushed to death.
Awww man, these remind me of this awesome tabletop game I used to play when I was a teenager called Mageknight. You bought booster packs that have (I think) 3 figures in each. It's the inspiration for HeroClix, the blind bag that Ashens did with the generic thug from Batman. They all had a ring/base that showed their stats, whether they had melee or ranged weapons, special attacks... Man, I miss that game. We would get together Friday nights at the local comic shop to play. Nostalgia. :(
The celebration disco ball reminded me so much of the BBC1/2 world ident from the very early 1980s. I like to think that back in 1980, that's how the design team imagined the 2013 ident would look like.
I find these figures really interesting, the paint job is not really the best but the shaping is quiet interesting itself, it looks like they were made out of wood and then painted. I enjoyed this video very much :).
I've been watching ashens avidly since Ashen Action Figure Prototype back in early 08.(I have made 3 or 4 different accounts since then :P) I was 13 then. Now I'm 18. Thanks for helping me get through my teens! Congrats Stu on all the videos! :D I will continue watching until the end of time itself! or I die... whichever comes first..
The fact they don’t stand up would bother the hell out of me. Probably just glue them to some wood or something. Fuck the resale value it probably wouldn’t be that high to begin with.
7:24 Oh! Now I know where I've seen that design before! It was most likely inspired by the legendray depiction of the devil in the medieval "Codex Gigas".
