I always like the section in Toys R Us with the Schleich animals and Papo knights/dragons/random creatures - this is one that I always considered picking up whilst perusing them - a Papo Crocodile Mutant - but it always seemed just a bit too pricey compared to what I could buy from the Reaper Bones range for the same sort of price. I decided to search for it on eBay a few months ago and found one going for less than a fiver including post! So obviously he got added to the mountain... He'll make a brilliant giant for use with my Fantasy Skirmish stuff - that's a 28mm Gripping Beast miniature with him for scale! Thinking about it, he almost looks like a Hordes Skorne creature with that armour and paintjob!
Comments and suggestions for paint scheme and weapons are most welcome - thank you for reading!
I'd confine myself to painting the shield emblem and doing a sweet base. I know nothing about it, but Osprey has a rule set for Gods and warband fighting (Of gods and mortals), this strikes me as a potentially appropriate fig for said game.
ReplyDeleteThe paintjob is really good - I'm not sure on the red, so I'll likely repaint that (he looks a bit too Hordes Skorne army at the moment!) - I did have something like OGaM in mind for him!
DeleteThat looks amazing and already painted, what's not to like?
ReplyDeleteHah! It's really well sculpted and the paint is good - I'd still like to give him new weapons though!
