As part of issue 92 of the Cry Havoc Online newsletter, Rackham has provided previews of several upcoming releases. Firstly there are Knights of Alahan along with their musician and standard bearer attachment, and a studio painted example from the Griffin Redemption Riders attachment.
In an interview with the sculptor Yannick Fusier there are also work in progress photographs of a mystic of Darkness (images 1, 2 and 3)

The cavalry looks good except the horses look a little weird. Looks like Clydesdale horses in somewhat awkward running poses. Hmm… the humans like nice though. |

Rackham’s plastic horses have been consistently awful. Very awkward and unrealistic poses. It’s unfortunate, because they had very nice horses in their metal line. I wouldn’t think that the medium has much to do with it, so I don’t know what the issue is. |

I really like reading the sculptor interviews, especially the references back to the old minis. I’d never seen that 1:1 ratio Wolfen before….that thing is awesome. |

I agree, the horses look weird. The mystic of Darkness is quite impressive though. We’ll see how it translates to prepainted plastic… |

The darkness model looks grand, I hope it’ll also see the light of day as a resin unpainted model. |

When Mr Bey did his long discussion on the future of Rackham and talking about the medium, he mentioned that of late one can do as well with plastic as metal. What he also alluded to was that the sculptors were getting used to the new requirements of plastic which seem substantially different. So perhaps this is a sculptor issue… and didn’t R lose a number of their veteran sculptors? |

I must admit I’d really would like to know where certain ex-sculptors of R went too then? |

I don’t think they do any Helldorado since Helldorado is basically 2 sculptors so far. Infinity and even Warmachine has some of them. |

Many of them consistently do work for Infinity, especially Yannick Hennebo and Michael Bigaud. They do for sci-fi what they did for fantasy :) |
