Thank you kindly for the encouraging words!
@Fred: the Dagonites are indeed the official Northstar miniatures- I also have some spare cultists converted with two pistols, a repeater rifle and a shotgun, ready for painting!
@Shirer: the Bison is a DeeZee miniatures model- they do a couple of variants, including a calf. I think I got mine via Arcane Scenery!
