Just popped up on my internet browsing...

Those are beautiful!
Oh, how I wish though, that they had been one of the plastic multipart boxed sets. :(
-
That's one model from a variety of angles.
Why would we sculpt just one snake-man, I wonder...? :D
-
I thought they were going to be hooded cobra type, that one looks more early lizardman Saurus type?

Because we can expect to see a nice plastic multi-part kit to go along with the plastic pirates for this game? ;)
-
Kind of wish they'd be a bit more snakelike. I keep looking for decent ones to use for the two types of snakemen in the Freeport RPG setting...
-
Oh, these guys are cool. Reminds me of the reptile dudes from my 'Strike Team Alpha' days.
-
Yeah! Snakemen. So glad I still have my Rackham Ophidians...they will be perfect for this game.

Some will be, though not the 'grunts' - there's a shaman-type chap on the rulebook cover who has a hood, for example, and I can't imagine him not getting sculpted.

I couldn't possibly comment... :-X

I like the sound of that. I've been after some snakemen for some time. Ideally I would have preferred a snake bottom half but If they ever become a plastic box set I'm sure some easy conversion work could be done. Other than that the style looks perfect to me.
-
With a serpentine 'tail' these would be perfect to me, they remind me of Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks Caarth , always wanted to make an army of desert dwelling snakeman 😆
-
I imagine the idea of plastic serpentmen is too good to avoid it. As 3 fingers said, they could pass for lizard/saurus men, and there is a huge niche for that.
Maybe (I really hope so!) in later books we'll see plastic serpentmen, as we had cultists few months after the Frostgrave rulebook.
-
I cant possibly comment... ;) (awesome tho)
-
I would like them to be more like Naga, with the serpent tail instead of legs. They look good, though.

I second that ...
-
I don't love the metal one posted, but I'd be interested in a plastic kit perhaps. I like "classic" Lizardmen or Naga-esque w/ the tails.
-
It's okay, but I agree that I'd hope for the eventual plastic models to be more serpentine/lizardy. They don't need to be snakes with arms, but they definitely could be a bit more snake-like than that metal figure.

The body is pretty generic really- take off the head and you've got the basic humanoid you can find in other kits.
More 'serpenty' would be a good thing, for all sorts of applications.

Agreed. More serpenty would be better. I have many old GW lizardmen and Reaper Bones lizardmen. What I would like are more Dark Souls-esque serpent men or Yuan-ti serpentmen. This is probably a little irrelevant, since the fiction, design, and art are almost certainly done by now, but longer, more serpenty snakes would be greatly appreciated.
-
Until these emerge, check out Tim Prow / Diehard Miniatures' Snakemen - proper old school style with snake like bodies rather than legs. The range includes some skeletal ones too. But I will also vote for a box set ideally that has a mix of snakey and leg-type bodies so a wide range of mutations can be constructed.
-
They do look like the snakemen from the cover of the book though... Will certainly buy some when released :)

If you're looking for plastic serpentmen, check these out. They are for the board game "Shadows of Brimstone"

Is it just me, or does he look like he needs a bit of a nap?

Perhaps it's a bit early in the morning and the heat of the sun hasn't reached him yet ... lol
-
My preferences lie in the "serpenty legs" category.
However, regardless of how they're sculpted, that's an easy conversion.

Thank you SO much for that! I had no idea these existed.

Your not comment is a comment of a sorts.... :) Can't wait to see what you guys turn out!

So I ordered the Serpentmen Of Jargono boxed set. It looks really nice, an obvious wizard and a lot of melee backup.
I ordered a couple of this guy here for some ranged support:

Reaper Bones is easy enough to convert for properly equipped Archers or Trackers.
And this one here as the apprentice:

And that is a snake-dude warband for Frostgrave coming in the mail next week.

Have you guys noticed that in the updated cover you can see a cobra serpentman as wizard?
