Title: Fire and Ice Subhumans, Nekron's Dogs ideas
Post by: Gallahad on May 09, 2019, 12:03:41 AM: I was watching the old cartoon Fire and Ice yesterday and found it inspiring.

Does anybody have any suggestions for miniatures to represent Necron's Subhumans?
(http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/c/c2/The_Sub-humans.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120607192058)
They should be a bit rangy of build with preferably thick brows, a bit Neanderthal in facial structure.

I'm a big fan of well sculpted anatomy, and willing to pay for it, so hopefully I can find something suitable with your help!
I know of a few lines of ancients spearmen etc. but they all seem a bit squat and closer to human features than I would like.
If I can get tall and lanky and mostly makes I can do some facial modifications if I have to.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Yep, this. Maybe some Eureka Denisovans if you can do some sculpting of facial features.

Ha! I've got a number of the Corelocks sitting in a box! You are right, add some spears, shorten the hair, and they would be pretty great.

I'll look at those Denisovans.

Post by: Gallahad on May 09, 2019, 01:41:16 PM: Ooh I do like those dark fable cavemen. They've got a real brutish look. Thanks for the suggestion.

Looking at the Corelock their noses and faces will take a little work for the look I'm going for, but they are still a solid option.

Still welcome to any other suggestions, and big thanks for all the suggestions so far.

Post by: Gallahad on May 10, 2019, 12:01:47 AM: I also wonder if the naked Gallic fanatics from Victrix could work with some loin cloths and facial sculpting...
I tried to find a scale shot of them online to no avail.

I quite like these but am I reading correctly that they just send me the one they want rather than being able to choose one of the options?

Post by: area23 on May 10, 2019, 02:27:39 PM: I remember years ago someone over at TMP did Homo Floresiensis converting Foundry african Pygmies. I've been thinking to do similar with normal Darkest Africa tribesmen; adding a heavy brow with putty. I also experimented using Grenadier Half-Orc heads on tribal africans. They wouldn't be hunched enough really but I searched for long for suitable miniatures but they do not exist.
At least they'd be Copplestone sculpts. :D

I know that Eureka in Australia would normally be happy to have you send a note stating which figures you wanted.

Post by: Gallahad on May 14, 2019, 07:09:17 PM: Thanks for the heads up on those guys. Sometimes it feels like Steve Saleh at Lucid Eye is reading my mind for what I want to buy...
I'll be sure to pick those up.
