Funny. I'd like to play the guy who beats up velociraptors with his fists.

That looks like it was made 20 years ago  o_o Looks pretty fun though.

It may not look like first class bleeding edge programming, but it's certainly a great idea for a skirmish game.

Dino stats in SotTR/AE-WWII anyone?

I do like that song in the background!

Also, I remember seeing this back in the spring, and I still want to know: can I punch out a T-Rex while riding a pterodactyl?

Looks to have been made with the graphical style and shading of Team Fortress 2, though not surprising given that it's on Steam.

I most certainly do want.

Eureka does a similar thing,Africa Korps mounted on dinosaurs,and I'm sure I saw it  on the LAF. Have one actually with an MG42......

SOTR has rules for mounted troops (+2ish to Squad RP) so some dino-mounted Mech Grenadiers are pretty simple to organise.

Maybe Temple Flesh Golem or Russian Werebear stats for T-Rex with Mind-control Helmet ala Dinoriders?

I did some research on the topic of german ww2 dino use, there's reason to believe they used dinos from 1943 onwards  ;)

Eureka released some very cool dino-rider minis last year and they got me fired up to do a 'Flakasaurus' conversion in 28mm:

Thanks chaps. This is a prototype model: I'm working on a larger version to fit a Flakvierling 38 - quad 2.0cm AA gun, plus some room for two reloaders and a spotter. After this I hope to do a Tricerawerfer - a triceratops with twin nebelwerfer rocket launchers on the back.

Anyone going to CanCon next weekend can see this model on display at the Eureka stand.
