Title: My First Broadsword Adventures Figs
Post by: capthugeca on September 16, 2008, 04:15:33 PM: These are Eureka Miniature's Frogmen:-

I was tempted to do them as brightly coloured "Poison Dart Frogs" but in the end decided to draw inspiration from the bog-standard British Common Frog. I'm not sure about their eyes. Even though frogs seem to have horizontal pupils, I'm not sure that it looks right.

Comments welcome.

I'll bet they are pretty deadly, though. lol

They might work in Cthulhu games, too.

Now, there's a question! Well, some will be human but more than that I haven't really decided as yet. It all depends how the muse tales me.

Don't be so sure... just offer them some cigarettes and let's see what's happen! lol

I'm curious about that too! I was thinking of ordering some a while ago just for the fun of painting them. Side by side pics with some regular minis would be great. ;)

Here is one of the frogs between an undercoated GW skeleton (current version) and a Reaper Barbarian.

As you can see, he's a bit smaller but I've always regarded frogs as smaller than humans.
