An early Neolithic Chicken Shop sign.....




That colouration is tempting, mate, but I already have a plan.
 

[Romark]

Looking forward to the reveal
Also checked out the original model and approve your green stuff  alteration

[AKULA]

Love the thread mate - very characterful sculpts

Where, oh, where, is the Mad Mastodon, the Smirky Smilodon, the Wonky Wooly Mammoth?  Didn't you start all this with "Paleo"?  So far, all your critters are Exinctolithic ones!     Wait, so is my list - but at least not during the Paleolithic.

Cheers!
I thought that, although the original sculpt is great with a real sense of menace, the larger eyes would fit with the rest of the figures in the project much better.
 

Love the thread mate - very characterful sculpts

 

Cheers, mate.
I am really enjoying making these to be perfectly honest.

Can I refer you to the first line in the opening post:

Warning: This thread is pure fantasy. No historical reference work has been undertaken whatsoever!


Also, this is the 'Fantasy Adventures' board, ya know...?

Yuppers, I gets it.  Still - where are they?!     Designed specific to go with your figures you'd have quite the hoot.

The first Apex Predator for Palaeo Diet is now finished.


.
I wanted to have an alternative to the more stereotypical predators of lions and tigers and bears and thought that this would make a suitable beast.

It is an Antimatter Games Skullcracker Bird with a little conversion to fit in better (bigger eyes were a must!).


Shown alongside a Blind Beggar Hunter for scale (it is a BIG Bird!  ).




It is rumoured that these huge birds were still in existence up until the end of the twentieth century (although they did evolve arms somewhere along the way) and are sometimes even sighted, albeit rarely, now....

That is a cracker of an Apex predator Paul! 

[gamer Mac]

Very nice 
Not so sure about the inspiration for the colour scheme

[Elk101]

Nice work. My first thought was "oh no, it looks like Big Bird', until I scrolled down a bit more and realised it was supposed to! 😂

[Rommel]

Are these miniatures somewhere availble? Several years i see this stuff nut no miniatures available?

[Mason]

Thanks, chaps!

Cheers, Nic!
Much appreciated.

It just HAD to be done, mate.

Well, your earlier comment mentioned how BIG it was, so I thought that had rumbled me.
You can meet him at BLAM!

The 'creatures' are from various companies (the relevant information is mentioned in the thread) or are plastic toys.

The Hunters were featured in a Blind Beggar Miniatures Kickstarter that finished a short while ago.
They will be released once the KS has been fulfilled.

If you are interested in being a Late Backer for the KS feel free to send me a PM.
