Soon to arrive, the characteristic brother and sister of Chroniques de la Lune Noire can be seen here :

They're anounced at 30€.

For those who like stories, they were sold to a mage who enchanted Goum to turn him into a gladiator (normally, he's as old as his sister).

If you think his gear looks a lot like Arnold's in the first Conan, you have to know that François Froideval (the author of the comic strip) used to play D&D with Gary Gygax and brought D&D to France; so he was really into all that was fantasy. Legend has it that Gary declared him "persona non grata" when François tried some "french moves" on his daughter :P.

about *this* big....lol


I think those minis are very cool...It seems thought that it would have more impact if the little one shared the base with the big one....Like he doesn't let her get out of his sight. Illyad has some fantastic stuff.

I like it! The big fella is pretty cool, and I like the ethnic look that this one has (might just be my eyes, or probably the paint job). Very cool.

Your eyes aren't playing tricks on you Nathan. Too bad they have't translated Chroniques de la Lune Noire, although some of the albums are very cheesy, the univers is very rich, like a cross between D&D, LotR, and Elric/Stormbringer.

@supervike : in the later albums, Wismerhill had an armor forged by dwarves for Goum and they put in an armored backpack where Pépette could sit in combat and hit people with her stuffed dragon toy ;).
