Title: Gnolls in Space
Post by: nicknorthstar on March 18, 2021, 08:26:54 PM: We've long been playing around with our Frostgrave plastic Gnolls, giving them sci-fi weapons to create Space Gnolls. The first weapons we used were the Cultist Accessory pack I made a few years ago:

Kev's painted examples are below.

With the imminent release of our plastic box sets for Stargrave, Kev couldn't resist seeing how the new arms fitted on the Gnolls. We think they look ace!

I mean snakemen with guns might be cool, everyone loves cultists in space and you could make your space pirates go fully Pirate with with Ghost Archipelago crewman box set even the tribals might be kind of fun with a sci-fi twist.

I would have thought that Tribals would need more than just an arm swap unless there are arms with no sleeves.

Post by: nicknorthstar on March 20, 2021, 04:43:06 PM: That's it. Pistols would be no problem, but long weapons would take some proper converting skill.

Post by: Diablo Jon on March 20, 2021, 05:08:09 PM: Actually I was thinking of the tribal heads and arms on the Stargrave guys to give you some men who have spent to long on the edge of the verse and gone feral. Rather than guns on the tribal miniatures.

Post by: nicknorthstar on March 20, 2021, 08:13:54 PM: Okay. Interesting take.

There's so much you can do with all the North Star plastics.
