I wanted to do something similar to the Harry Potter chess set. Although likely a bit simplified. I have an idea about a style of texturing I’d like to try to learn specifically for low poly modeling.
At least the pieces start out relatively simple. 
All pieces except the rook have the same base with the columns. The base plate under that should be the same even for the rooks. So I’m making the base in two parts; the plain octagon shape and the columns section above it.
Colors right now are just so I can see what’s what. 
Couldn’t find good profile references for these pieces so I’m eyeballing a bit and trying to use several reference images to get a better idea of the shapes. I also have some cubes for size reference. I’m not so worried about exact replication so I’m ok with making some of my own choices about sizes and details.
