Title: Any sphinx?
Post by: B. Basiliscus on October 01, 2010, 10:09:30 PM
I'm planning a D&D campaign with some friends soon, and I'd like to play it with the visual aid of minis.
I'm pretty lax about what I allow my players to do and use.
If they can back it up with good logic I'll allow it, rules be damned.
My problem is that a lady who wishes to play has chosen a sphinx as her character, and I'm having trouble finding nice models for the creature.
Anybody know where I can snag a sphinx?
Preferably 20mm or so, something real pretty.  ;)

There is a pretty female one by Reaper, about the size of a GW horse.

20mm for a legendary creature whose size in not typically given... In one story I read, it was nearly 20 feet at the shoulder, its wing beats could bowel you over. Still, I would think that it was a Large creature due to the Lion portion, so Centaur; human/lion with wings added may be a better starting point to get the final minature assembled, rather than the chance you will find one that you like premade, the Sphinx is kinda rare from a search I did.
