I just love this thread.

Your pictures are fantastic. I agree with a previous comment they look like they were out of a Forgeworld book.

Awesome as ever, you should do a book with scenarios in it

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Excellent, the original Rhino hull brings back memories.

This thread is possibly the greatest thing on the internet.

It must be fun selecting which poses go where in the photos. Makes you think about what each mini is doing.

High time i revived this thread and i here proudly present the WIP on my Aviodanar, a birdlike race native to planet Torq XLII.
Decide to do some kitbashing with the little i have. Since i have only bought 2 things from games workshop in the last 20 years ( 1 box of kroot and 1 box of warcry chaotic beasts) it was not difficult to decide what to use.
I bought the warcry box for the furies that i need for my fantasy bronze age thread - https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=125281.0 - ,so i had the raptoryx left over. With their heads on kroot bodies i found something i liked straight away.
The robes are tissues soaked in paint and pva glue and the plumes are from some sort of vegatation from some deco shop.

Whoa, those look a bit like Skeksis (Dark Crystal), but cooler!

A heated discussion between 2 aviodanar and an adventurer in Trader Town on the mining planet Torq XLII.

The Aviodanar from planet Torq XLII are a race that have evolved from birds. Although they are OK to get on with, other races avoid them as at first light of day just before the sun comes up, they still join in the dawn chorus just as their ancestors did and make such a bloody racket that it gets on everyone else's nerves.

The adventurer is from Hasslefree miniatures.

Superb.  Love those aquiline characters, lovely conversions.

[Storm Wolf]

Agreed, most excellent conversions.

I am getting from them the vibe of the bird baddies from the Dark Crystal, but as of typing this I have no idea as to what they were called?

I love the fact that they are sinister to look at, but actually quite friendly, if noisy
