It will be hard to remove the shoulder pads.

Here are some other ideas :

http://www.ddmdb.com/miniatures/1219

I couldn't find the flesh golem so I bought the zombie hulk. All  are large D&D miniatures (60mm tall) and are perfect for tanks : not too expensive and easy to convert.

I'll post photos as soon as mine is done.
I wish I were an octopus to paint more miniatures...Cthulhu must be a great painter

Frother's zombies sets are no longer available since january 2010...it's a shame they always sell miniatures for a very short time (3 months). Sometimes Hasslefree casts some of them but the tanks are not in their pipeline I think.

The point of the Frothers sets is that they are the winners/runners up in the various sculpting competitions - the sets are only available for a limited period, because the Sculptors retain the rights to their sculpts.  Hasslefree have indeed cast some up previously because Kev White has had competition entries (and winners), and has also bought some of the previously entered sculpts.

As far as I know the two tanks (sculpted by snuurg) will be cast up very shortly, if they haven't already.  Your best bet is to either PM geronimo on LAF, or email Fenris Games, as they are likely to be the distributors.

They are lovely sculpts, and ideal as tanks






BTW, the resin base inserts these are on, are also from Fenris Games.

So Fenris should have them soon ?

BTW they seem a little small. I already have these bases and I assume they are the 30mm bases, aren't they ?

Could you post a photo of the Tanks next to a human (Hasslefree or Copplestone) please ?

I didn't notice a link for it, but the upcoming Reaper miniature is pretty much Ellis -



There was also an excellent Rochelle, but that appears to have disappeared off of the preview page.

I haven't gotten any of the survivors as of yet. My contracting job decided to take a 3 week break so I'm having to be tight on excess funds right now.

That reaper mini is the one I want for Ellis. I'd have to replace the guitar with a grenade launcher.

I want those Frothers' miniatures so bad I can just about taste it!!!

Working on the new webstore at the moment, Tanks and other new and old minis will be on there this week. Drop me a PM if you're more desperate :)

Both tanks are approx 32mm to the tops of their heads - they stand, for comparison, a full head taller than Tengu's clown zombies (and are considerably more bulky!)
