Title: Alternate Crowmaster Figures
Post by: JohnDSD2 on 20 November 2015, 09:26:36 AM: Hello everybody.

I really like the idea of the Crowmaster but not too keen on the official figure.

Any suggestions for Alternatives?

Cheers

Ok, not exactly a crow, but avian at least!

combined with

and

with an owl

Sorry for the blurry pictures. The first one is from Midlam miniatures, and the second falconeer is from Ral Partha, a nice detailed mini. Hope it helps.

I'd argue that makes it more simple! Any figure with a hand weapon could be used for the Crowmaster, along with any bird model (that part is, I'll grant a touch trickier).

Reaper Bones is great for this. This pack (77176: Familiars) is $1.99/£1.75 or so, and also includes a ferret (Prince of Vermin):

I love this model it is extremely petit... especially the bird...

But I don't think GW still sell that one.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v127/laniston/shrewmaster_zpsytn3dwpj.jpg)

with these as a separate purchase if you didn't want the frog guy too.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v127/laniston/combat%20shrews_zpswth8swkp.jpg)

The combat shrews could go with any model you like really. I have dreams of doing a warband out of these anthropomorphic animals so this would be my go to for a crowmaster. Instead of flying... well the shrew would.. dig...(or scamper)
