Thanks to everyone for the generous praise.

As posted earlier, I am in the midst of another painting project in preparation for a Saga tournament in late September, and my TNT campaign is not scheduled to kick off until after that tourney. Consequently, in the meantime I won't have much hobby time to dedicate to TNT, but I have been promoting TNT and the campaign it on my local gaming group's Discord and I continue collect minis for my Salish Sea adaptation. BTW, at least 12 people have expressed interest in joining this campaign.

One of the players expressed interest in TNT "TV Head" Caravanner STL so I had one printed for him at 30mm scale, which should match the GW figures he plans to use with his Raider warband. Another player wants to play Carvanners, and since I had already planned to have some of the cows printed for use i The Caravan scenario, I offered to print an extra for him. Below is a pic of TV Head, and the new armored cow next to the classic TNT resin two-head cow mini, along with my Molotov guy, who is at 28mm and added for purpose of comparing scale.

My last print order (I use MTM Printworks located in Langley, B.C.) included some giant crabs and little known cryptid that has its roots in the Pacific Northwest dating back a hundred years, the Gumberoo. Since we don't have snapping turtles here in western Washington, the giant crabs will serve as count-as Landsnappers. The smaller will be a Juvenile Landsnapper, and the larger one will be an Adult Landsnapper.

BTW, one player is planning to play Totem Tribals and has chosen the version that lets you add a Juvenile Landsnapper to your warband. With this in mind, I ordered an extra smaller version of the crab, just or him.

Once again, Molotov is in the pic for purposes of comparing scale.

Agreed. Looking forward to seeing more.

Cool additions! I grew up in BC (Okanagan valley) and never heard of the gumberoo. Maybe they need the wet coastal forests to avoid exploding. People saw Ogopogo in Okanagan lake and Sasquatch tracks up in the hills occasionally, though.

I’ve lived in Western Washington my whole life, and I hadn’t heard of the Gumberoo either—at least not until I started digging into Pacific Northwest cryptids. I suspect the Gumberoo remains relatively obscure as a cryptid, because unlike Bigfoot or the various Nessie-like creatures, there haven’t been any modern "sightings" to keep its legend alive.

Legends of the Gumberoo are purported to date back to the mid to late 1800s, but wasn't popularized until the early 1900s through books of American folklore and even pulp stories.
