Title: Big angry croc
Post by: Kanvass on 12 March 2011, 01:03:22 AM: Found this mini while reading a batrep on a game called Song of Blades and Heroes. Immediately had to have one of my own. He is from a manufacturer called "Crocodile Games" and he is called the "Beloved of Sobek" or something to that effect (dont remember as the blister he came in was utterly annihilated in my haste to start work on him)

This was a "scale-by-scale" process... needless to say there will not be anymore crocodiles in my warband.

Hope you like, /Cheers Kanvass

Great stuff!

Post by: Brummie on 12 March 2011, 09:49:39 AM: fantastic highlighting of the green! Really makes the detail stand out!
I do remember having some crocodile games stuff myself, however, it never really stuck, and I never got round to painting it, the boss however has painted some of his.

Indeed! I've been trying to get hold of some Nekharu, and I've ended up having to order them direct from the US.

Lovely painting, Kanvass. All that hard work was worth it.

Whats going to be in the rest of the warband?
Title: Re: Big angry croc
Post by: Kanvass on 14 March 2011, 02:43:24 PM: Apart from the Crocodilethe warband will be as follows.

Orc leader (Games we-gonna-rip-you-off workshop shaman)
Bogtroll (Privateer press Dire troll mauler)
Froglock assassin (privateer press croak hunter)
and 4 fishman grunts (Privateer press again, Bogtrogs I think they are called)

I plan on posting up some pics when I have one or two more minis finished for the warband.

Thank you all for your kind words. Loving this forum so far, the diversity of miniatures here is second to none.
