This I very much like. Reminds me of what I consider the best vision Cyanide had for a positional.

Is this planned to be available to the general public?

That is one nice Skaven thrower! Really a Starplayer type... maybe GW will make a new one out of this! 8)
Is this going into production as well? Because if so, I - pretty please - would like one!

I love the figure.

The part of me that looks at a figure for casting says ... ouch with the spikes on the gun in 4 different directions and the open mouth with long teeth.

Love the figure ... hope it casts well for you!

There's some pictures from the caster of previous miniatures that'll blow your mind, think shark-men with fins and shark-tail in single cast , open mouth, all that. Very impressive, I'm heading there myself with tiny sculpts. n(+kroxigor)

Two please if they're for sale. Though I'd be a bit worried about how all those wires will work metal wise.

I would actually like to see some star player stats created for him

I am guessing something like 7 3 3 7 with Loner, Hail Mary Pass, Pass, Secret Weapon, Strong Arm and Sure Hands as skills?? Cost??

If you are taking names and his test cast works out, I'd love to add my name to the list.

Very impressed with your first effort.

Cannot be too expensive. Judging by these rules viewtopic.php?f=4&t=38335 (and comparing him to Barik Farblast) he would only be 40.000...

Is this actually sculpted from scratch? I love the attention to detail. The position and shape of the legs, the chunky tail, the gauntlets and 'skirt' all seem perfect. I am re-painting the GW skaven currently and this model seems to fit seamlessly.

Yes it is sculpted from scratch but Rykar has clearly used the last Skaven team as inspiration
