Chess Pieces and Board

I have spent a lot of time over the design of the board and the pieces. I couldnt make my mind up on whether I wanted to go for a modern unique style or an old antique style. As seen in the image below I decided to go for more of a traditional style as chess is an old game and it just seemed to fit better with the theme I am going for. Here is a render of one of the arms mid-move. Now I have to sort out the texturing, the lighting and then animate. I better draw uo my storyboard first however.
