Hello.New to the forum but long time lurker.Looking for some ghouls for a skirmish COC tabletop we are running in a few weeks time.Have got some excellent chaps from heresy but i am looking for some more dog- like monsters.Any ideas comrades??
-
The RAFM ghouls aren't too bad. Two of the three has slightly distended mussles (like dogs). The 3rd I use for my Icon portrait. A ghoul in a hat and trenchcoat. That happens to be my favorite painted evil looking occult miniature. I believe the original idea was to show 3 stages of a Ghouls degeneration from humanity. The later 2 seem are good sculpts.
Hope this helps.

Are you looking for mutated dogs, or doglike humanoids?
If it's the latter, the Gnolls in Hasslefree's White Metal section might work:

Sculpted by Ben Siens. Very doglike, yet have the sort of ancient civilisation look about them you might want for COC.
-
Thanks for the help. Will try hasslefree Gnolls i fancy. Although i hear crocodile games are releasing some soon? Anybody seen any yet in the flesh??Just seen a few on their website.Look good.Some much metal so little time..........
-
Rafam has released some more Ghoul sculpts as well.

That new set of armed ghouls with the exception of maybe 1. Look like cartoony D&D sub-human "whatevers". They lack that diabolical nastyness, that the Heresy models have captured.
-
Would werewolf type figures be any use ?
We have some of the Dr Who miniatures ones that might be surplus (the ones that come in a pack of 7 from Woolworths etc)
-
Thanks for all the help.Ordered Hasslefree gnoll cleric(very,very nice) and decided to stay with the Heresy ghouls....more recent human transformations and the Gnoll being a pure blood ghoul leader of a new pack.Will try to post when painted to get your views.The old RAFM ghoul pack is very nice too I may add..it's a good idea showing the different stages to a ghoul.
-
Heresy has some nice ghouls, too...

Sorry, had not read your last post :oops:

No problem Argonor.I saw some of 'they who cannot be named' plastic crypt ghouls....not impressed at all.Really like the new skellies and vampires but one word....pricetag!But i am tempted by the giant vampire bat beastie though.Any thoughts on these comrades?I can see the more proportionally skellingtons being popular but i wish they would redesign their plastic zombies....more like the old range of the late 80's.Found someo the old metal zombies on E-bay and won them.Nice.Still very nice scupts in my opinion.

A note on pricetags: Have you noticed the Blood Knights?? When first I saw them, I had this idea of maybe using some as alternative Riders of the Dead for LotR. Then I noticed the price...
I have some of the old metal zombies, very gruesome! Am going to paint them up for Dead Walk Again!

Will try to post some pics of my first painted ghouls....(http://[img]http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn78/marrony2008/use44.jpg)[/img]

Hooray it worked! See what you think of my ghoulies.....(oo-er)[/img](http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn78/marrony2008/Copyofuse55.jpg)(http://albums/nn78/marrony2008/Copyofuse66.jpg)[/img](http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn78/marrony2008/Copyofuse66.jpg)

Those ghouls are horrible! :twisted: Nice work. 8)
-
Like 'em a lot. Ghouls and zombies always should be gory, like in those old zombie-movies from the 70's 8)
EDIT: What colours did you use for the skin?

Crocodile Games does some very dog-like ghouls:

I think, I would use those for something else.... pulp expeditions to the centre of the Earth, or maybe some savage inhabitants of a distant planet... :)
-
I like them a lot.The heresy ones could be recent half ghoul (not yet fully transformed ghouls)and the dog faced ones full ghouls.Got some of wargods ghouls on order.Thanks for sharing.
-
Wow :o
I'll have to see if I can can one of my local stores to order them.

I like the concept & the sculpting, but there's something about the poses that doesn't seem quite right :?
They remind me of dancing monsters I saw in an old Scooby Doo once :(
-
Week off work so caught up on some of my ghouls.....first of the crocodile ones(http://[img]http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn78/marrony2008/ghoul4.jpg)[/img]
And another view (http://[img]http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn78/marrony2008/ghoul55.jpg)[/img]

Awesome, They look so much better painted up like that with all the gore. Truley scary looking beasts. :o
-
Thanks :mrgreen:
-
Those ghouls look wicked! I've had to get a couple for myself. Love the dark, realistic look on the paint job marrony.
-
Very nice painting! Is the blood dripping from the hand to the base actually there or is it photoshop?
Your ghouls look like they just lifted their heads out of a fresh kill! Very horrible and nasty! I love em! :lol:
-
Thanks Darkoath.Yep, photoshop- i fiddled about with the blood on the claws.Well spotted!

Actually most look very good. But the guy on the very left has the wrong arm - leg position with both right appendices thrust forward like a camel or so...
I think most lokk like they have just started running almost like sprinters who have just come up from the start.
