Title: Deep One Stand Ins

The D&D minis "Desert of Desolation" set has an interesting looking Sahuagin and "Sahuagin Baron."

I hope the Baron is not too bendy and repaints well. He'd make a great boss for my lizard aboriginal natives (GW skinks).

EDIT: Or I guess there are the actual, horrorclix deep ones...

That Baron fellow is really over the top, isn't he? :lol: I wonder if a Marquis has six arms and a Duke has eight. An Emperor could barely walk for all 12 of his arms.

The D&D figures repaint just fine. Better than Clix, I think.

He would be a champion hand shaker though and that is a very useful skill set in royalty.

"So you are a fisherman? How very interesting. And you, also a fisherman? How very interesting. Fishing is so important to our culture and nation. We must all work hard to make the Sahuagin Empire the Oerth's leading source of fish. And you're a fisherman? Splendid!.."

Spot on.

" And you have been a spawn of S'hagalot, Behemot of the Deep with a Thousand Urchins for how long? 20 000 years?! My, that is a jolly long time, isn't it? And do ou enjoy it? Yes? Splendid, that fish, splendid."

Why are these people channelling the Duke of Edinburgh?

No, I'm wrong. The actual Duke would have said something bizarrely offensive in the course of shaking hands with fishermen.

We have no idea why.

I thought they were in Prince Charlie mode.

Now I just can't shake the image of a eight armed Prince Philip.  It fits in so well with this strangeness:
