HACKS fantasy D&D Ranger and more

drbindy · **Posted:** Fri Apr 07, 2017 3:52 am

So the previews of the new HACKS fantasy figs inspired me test out a few fantasy figures of my own, to see how invested I would be in the genre. Early returns are positive.

I started with a Ranger and with an eye toward making a traditional D&D adventure party. I always used make Cavaliers and Paladins, but a Ranger better fits what I want to do with this set (since the armored knights will be well represented by BFS).

For the Ranger, you may not be able to tell, but that is a HACKS base under there. Torso/waist/hardware/shoulder joints are all HACKS.

I'll have more pics and figures tomorrow

thanks guys.

AV - these are the best WIP shots I have. This is literally the very first build I started, before I decided on the Loki lower coat (skirt).

then I looked at a second skirt idea, and tried out my first set of legs

Then with the skirt, but having not yet figured out the leather armor fully

In the end I decided I liked the Loki legs better too. Normally I'd have done the hip fix a little different, but since I had so much of him built by then, I simply chopped off these Zartan upper thighs and fused it to the Loki legs.

here's how he looks from the back

and some water/wine/potions

(the paint has been cleaned up on the sleeves and trim since this pic)

I am making him part of a unique order of Rangers. More from that group to be made in the future. For now, though, he's found some traveling companions.

First is a traditional D&D wizard, presently named "Not Gandalf"

A dwarf named "Not Gimli" - seriously, always looking for ideas on names.

An Elven mage

(better pic and backstory to follow)

And a blurry because brazenly stolen from a customizer on FB Red Sonja

These are great.

I've had that Loki body on a shelf for a long time thinking about what I could do with it. Between seeing this and the amount of time I've spent playing Neverwinter in the past month, I'm feeling all kinds of inspired now.

i recognize the chain and cobra sigils, but where did the cloak come from, on that red sonja?

Excellent work on all of them. I wish I had the eye for parts and fantasy figures that you do. Really inspiring work.

Wow man! Stellar work on all of these. Hard to choose which one I like the best.

Big fan, and very inspired.

Thanks E, and pluv for the ideas. Thanks for all the comments. Also newwave, and serpentor- the answer to your questions is the same: prince of Persia. The cloak was from the deluxe version with the horse (with a simple string tying it together), and he belt isnfrom the basic Dastan figure
