Rise of Orgsbane

Author: The Obfuscatedhippo

One of the most terrifying squads—and sculpts—from Classic ’Scape (in my opinion) is the Minions of Utgar. With Deadly Strike and an unshakeable defense, these winged fiends of Utgar have likely reigned chaos and destruction on your battlefields.

But what would an angel or a demon look like without its wings? This was the question and challenge leveled to orgsbane when I commissioned his work for a repainting / reimagining of the minion sculpt.

The result of orgsbane’s artistry and ingenuity was a trio of barbarians that were featured in a Custom Contest from 2013.

C3G Interview
Ronin
Author: Tornado & Yodaking

As I'm sure you are well aware, a ronin is a masterless samurai. Now, you have been masterless since at least 2013 when you joined Heroscapers.com, so I have to ask: Are you even trying to find a new master? It’s been 4 years ... unemployment benefits have to have run out by now. Maybe someone here at C3G is in need of a samurai. What kind of pay and benefits package are you looking for?

Oh, you know how the samurai job market is. Everybody’s looking for an entry-level samurai that already has five to ten years of samurai experience.

I was introduced to Heroscape by my best friend, Jason, who described the game as an “awesome miniature battle game” and then he quickly followed with “.. and the minis are already painted.” I could sense his enthusiasm and, with our knowing each other so well, he also knew that I had no painting skills whatsoever. So, of course, I tried it—and loved it.
