The lizardmen are Ace!  :-*

The main thing, for me, is to get the legs right b/c you can fix the heads and tails fairly easily. Those have the correct legs. Too often lizardmen have legs that are just human legs with scales and clawed feet.

And the Shen are large. They should be bigger than humans.

A couple of quick (and very minor) Shen conversions. Going to throw some paint at them now.

They look great. I was thinking about something very similar that is tekumel in 1/72. I even have somewhere basic sculpts of a tekumelian zombie and Ahoggya. Doing some dungencrawling in the underground ditlana ruinened structures under Jakalla is SO tempting.

Sounds cool! Show us pictures (please!)  :)

Here are my Hluss stand-ins. I was thinking about converting them to make them match up better with official illustrations (weapons, more upright torsos, three eyes), but in the end, I couldn't be bothered. All that's needed for the game are gribblies with pointed snouts and scorpion tails, and these Irregular Miniatures scorpion bugs have those already.

I painted all six in a couple of hours last night: quite refreshing to get a whole encounter set done at one sitting, even if the paintwork's primitive!

Thanks, M.P.! Here are some better shots of them. They made their tabletop debut in last night's session; on Monday, the party, having 'sailed' into Tekumel through a dimensional gate, encountered a Hluss hive ship. That session was largely taken up with exchanges of spells and ballista bolts; last night, the boarding action began!

They Look sweet (If you can say it about Hluss :p). What rules are you using? OSR? ADnD?

Thanks!

We're using Basic D&D (Rules Cyclopedia), but with a couple of tweaks. I've borrowed Into the Odd's strength-save system (lose all your hit points and you start losing STR: save under when you get down to 0 hit points and for every wound you take thereafter), and we use the Target 20 system (add STR bonus, fighter level - fractions for other classes - and opponent's AC to your d20 roll, with a total of 20 or above needed to hit).

I have found the basis for my Pe Choi: all these will need are new heads!

Dark Sun? Those are pretty much "Pe Choi" copies!
