HURATT SEEKER: RIKATIK COMPLETED SCULPTURE Preview

"Rikatik is a well respected Master Seeker among we Path Finders. He has killed many of our enemies...and the more often; they died so that our Prince may lengthen his Long Walk...for our sakes"

Rikatik was raised from birth by Tajatak and gifted to Rattak, his first born. Rattak trained the young Rikatik in The Ways of Path Finding, to improve his usefulness as a Seeker. In time since, Rattak has taken him on his Long Runs, and the now adult Rikatik is considered a great prize.

I will post images later tonight.

A Word On Design. I really enjoyed sculpting this model. There is a lot to be said for an intelligent and strong little Sidekick that can kill a competent human, with his Specially Crafted Path Finder Weapons, or just his teeth and claws...you know.

Check out Jello's "CHEW". You have to love a song about giant rats taking over a major city...

"As big as a cat, not afraid to chase people...a shot gun will only kill one at a time!"

HURATT WAR MAKERS & WAR RATTS WIP Preview 2

Hail fellow Sewer Runners!

I am working on several figures this month to get them ready for IWM. The main focus now is to have Body Blanks completed for my six of my core races. This is going to save me a lot of time later when I start to turn master Castings into Units of Troops.

So far I am making progress on all of my Body Blanks. The Huratt War Makers and their War Ratts are just about half completed now.

A Word On Design. I am going to leave the hair undone for the most part on these pieces because it will be easier to bend and repose the models, then come back and do the fur to both strengthen the figures and give each a unique look.

I will be posting more Previews of the other Body Blanks soon.

HURATT WAR MAKERS & WAR RATTS WIP Preview 1

"We are the force of our mighty chieftain's will, we kill the wet skins who would drive us from the good root of the filthy sun dirt, we are The War Makers!"

When The War Makers rise from The Under many go forth upon mighty War Ratts. These loyal steeds are alone a great threat, and give their beloved masters even greater speed and ferocity in open battle.

The War Makers, with their great War Ratts are the core of any Chieftains War Party. Mounted War Makers can attack at great speed, and return to a place of relative safety from the Wet Skins guns, almost before their enemies have made good any counter attack.

A Word On Design. I am sculpting The War Makers on Foot and Mounted, so you will have both Ground Troops and Cavalry options for your Huratt War Parties.

I will post more Huratt  Previews as well as updates on Rattak and The Hunters soon.

HURATT HUNTER & SEEKER WIP Preview 1

The Huratt dominate The Under, yet to truly Rule The Dark they know that they must also Walk In Light. There are several Huratt who are brave enough to do this, chief among them are: Path Finders and The Hunters with their Seekers.

Unlike most Huratt, Hunters are not a Dark Science Race, but rather a mutation which evolved after the first generation of Rat-Men (more on this later).

Like all Huratt, Hunters and their loyal Seekers are extremely evil, taking great pleasure in the torments they inflict on their hapless captives. Hunters are a Ranking Class, and can guide and instruct all other Hurrat, with nearly the same authority as Chieftains.They are the Huratt which hunt all Non-Rodent Mammals, especially Feline Manamals and Humans.

 

The average Huratt Hunter stands about 6'9" and weighs around 360lbs. Huratt Hunters maintain several of the laws which govern the Lethal Hierarchical Society of The Huratt. As Long Walkers they (like Path Finders) counsel their mighty Chieftains.

 

Hurrat Hunters are agile for their massive size and extremely powerful. Hunters are very keen on Old & New Tech, and employ a variety of finely crafted Staffs, Claws and Crossbows, along with many Devices of Dominance of their own design. 

A word on Design. I am sculpting Hunter Weapons and Devices of Dominance on separate sprues so that collectors can add fun little details to each of their Huratt Hunter Models...and more captives too (Why am I so Evil?).

I will post more Progress on Rattak and Previews of other Huratt soon.

RATTAK WIP Preview 1

Rattak is a Renowned War Maker and Master Path Finder of The Huratt whom rule The Under of York. He is currently making a Long Run, to learn more of his peoples great enemy...

Huratt are a Dark Science Race which all but rule in The Under (more on this later) and in other remote subterranean places.

Huratt are an Evil race that hunt all Non-Rodent Mammals, especially Feline Manamals and Humans, for their Food.

The average Huratt stands about 6'6" and weighs around 260lbs. Huratt maintain a Lethal Hierarchical Society, where in the most  intelligent and physically capable dominate the lower classes.

Hurrat Warriors are terribly agile and extremely powerful. Warriors are very keen on Old Tech, and employ a variety of finely crafted Swords and Crossbows, along with many Sonic Weapons of their own design.  Huratt Raids are considered a tragedy for even well guarded settlements, and for lesser beings these assaults mean utter extinction .

A word on Design. I am sculpting Huratt Weapons and...lol...Tailes, on separate sprues so that collectors can add fun little details to each of their Huratt Warrior Models. For my side of it as the sculptor,  I can use these bits while converting the Master Castings of the Warrior Models,  later in the Conversion Phase of Production.

True Scale: is a close approximation of the Real Size of the Original Sculpture. Basically I re-sized the image until I could hold the 3D model to the screen,  right next to the 2D digital reproduction,  and eye-ball it with the Original work...until it looked right.

I will post more Previews of other Huratt soon.
