Deep Sea Adventures - Pulp Style

[Tri3]

OK so after seeing the really amazing Deep Sea Divers by Scheltrum Miniatures, I started to wonder what miniatures are out there that would be good foes.  I have come up with a few.

Naval Pattern Type D Divers


Gentlemen Adventurer Treasure Hunters


Free Company Privateers


Dr. Octopus's Squid Pirates


DragonRune Miniatures Komodons

The problem with the Komodons IMO is no one has painted them to the standard that they deserve, so they don't show well.  I haven't seen one yet painted to a high standard.  Let me tell you that these figures are absolutely gorgeous in person.

Privateer Press put out a really nice miniature set recently for their Hoards game.  The figures are called Bog Trogs Ambushers.




Reaper Miniatures always seems to have a bunch of figures.  They came out with a blister of 03161: Slithe Raiders.  That are pretty sweet.  They also have really nice seahorse.



They also have a really cool shark moster like figure


Way back when Citadel put out some cool figures called Sahuagin



There is another company that I can not remember who made/makes Sea Horse riders and things of that nature.

IIRC Westwind had a range 50 fathoms or something similar with underwater races

[Tri3]

That is the one I was trying to remember. :wink:

If you can find them the Octopons are pretty cool



I thought that maybe this figure could lead these Octopons

There is a very nice 2 pages compilation of underwater beasts and suitable fishmen in "The Fishmen Showcase" on Colonel Marbles old page:

Some quite obscure minis among them ...

If you search the site, you'll find a lot more of those thematic miniature compilations. I especially like the VSF characters, robos and machinery, and the VSF and Gothic terrain lists.
