Title: Slann Solo
Post by: cheetor on December 22, 2015, 09:42:37 PM: (https://sho3box.files.wordpress.com/2015/12/slannsolo1.jpg?w=196&h=300)

Malebolgia got in touch with me when he heard that Broken Toad (http://www.brokentoadstore.co.uk/index.php) was making a limited edition "Toad in Carbonite" available last week, for a single week only. Malebolgia wasnt certain if I would be into a space frog encased in carbonite or not, but happily, he was 100% correct: I definitely was.

The model arrived yesterday and I painted most of it yesterday evening and finished it off tonight. It was simple to paint and a lot of fun. It will make an entertaining Maguffin in some upcoming games.

The blog post about the model is HERE (https://sho3box.wordpress.com/2015/12/22/slann-solo/).

Thanks for looking!

I'd have loved one of those seeing how effectively you've done it.

But awesome job Cheetor! Love it and it really fits your lineup very well. I think it adds toads...eh...loads of fun!

All those miniatures are great, in fact. Are they mostly old Citadel?

Post by: cheetor on December 23, 2015, 12:57:42 PM: Thanks for the feedback everyone. I figured that this model would be a crowd pleaser due to the concept.

Thats certainly what Malebolgia thought, I would never have known about it only for him :)

Apparently Broken Toad are making the model available as a convention exclusive from now on, so maybe some of you might be able to pick one up when visiting one of those.

Yeah, mostly. The guy in the greenish khaki in front is Rico Dredd from the Mongoose Publishing/Warlord Games Judge Dredd range. He and some of his colleagues can be seen in this LAF thread (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=78076.0). The green clad astropath in the rear is a Citadel figure from the early 2000s. The others - the Inquisitor, the Space Eunuch and the Official - are 1980s Citadel. Those figures are in my Sci-fi Non-Combatants thread (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=77015.0) or my Inquisitors thread (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=54622.0) if you are interested.

Im glad that you like them.
