Title: Ribbit... Bederken toads
Post by: Delaney on 10 February 2011, 01:42:46 PM: I was scratch building a Toad for HotT to represent an ensorcelled wizard today whilst my main sculpts where baking, and had so much fun I made a few more.

(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Wqn8XporRnI/TVPi8E_S8hI/AAAAAAAAAJg/v4aZCUA28Dw/s1600/toad.jpg)

I enjoyed doing them so much that I have decided to cast up and release a whole range of variants. Warrior toad, Wizard toad, Thief toad, Orc Toad, Pirate Toad, Zombie Toad, Dwarf Toad, Ranger Toad... etc, etc, etc.

I have done them in two scales- the one in the picture is 10mm to the eye, and his little friends are 4mm to the eye- ideal for a bit of 15mm sorcery.

A bit of silly fun, but I hope you enjoy!

Expect a release from Bederken around next month.

Post by: Delaney on 10 February 2011, 11:34:18 PM: Thanks guys...

Good idea about the warbands too - I should do some 'fighting toad' units suitable for Bullywug, Frogman and Slann warbands as well as dungeon encounters.

Post by: Delaney on 19 February 2011, 07:21:27 AM: Heh... what a strange direction this little tangent has sent me. :)

As a good omen, a frog got into our car on holiday so I could study it. I tried handing it a spiked ball but it did not seem interested.

My kids been using him as the leader of his lizardman army. I would love to see you sculpt some Aztec looking lizardmen types.

Title: Re: Ribbit... Bederken toads
Post by: Delaney on 20 February 2011, 11:51:56 AM: Heh, Bederken... filling those old school needs.

I always wondered why the Slann never lobotomised attractive girls to help out around the howdah.

Because they thought that WAS what they were doing. Human anatomy... heh...

Post by: Delaney on 20 February 2011, 11:07:42 PM: Now that you mention it, those slaves do look a bit froggish in their features... perhaps they just pick 'beautiful ones'. :)
