Dwarf Roman Legate Argol of the VII Legion, riding a war ram for a little fantasy Infamy Infamy. Argol is no rich senator's son, he is a harden veteran of many campaigns against the Gauls and has earned the right to lead through his combat prowess

Gaul Dwarf King Finnean Morganw (White Headed) and Queen Gormal with bodyguard Grizzly. The king's big stash of gold, is always a great motivator for those greedy Gaulish dwarfs

Gaulish War Bear "Bannio", strides across the battlefield in support of the warriors. What's not to like about a big olde bear with a fecking big catapult on his back

These look great, not seen them before. I especially like the Dwarf king & Queen on their thrones.

I've been drooling over WestWind dwarfs for years and I had never seen them in any form other than on the website.
these look great and you've done an excellent job.
You might have almost convinced me to get some.

I really like the roman wolf knights  :o

Really nice work. What has that poor bird done to that cavalry chap to be waved about in such a fashion?! Good to see riding wolves not just the mount of green skins.

ahahah I wonder if a hawk used as a weapon could actually be effective in combat.

Luigi I have a fair bit experience with raptors and if you’re lucky in this case the moment you let it go it’s going to ‘bonk’ your head with both it’s feet (and that’s if it likes you and is just annoyed) or worse attack you and then head either home or to the nearest tree so it can stare at you like you’re a moron. Beautiful but fickle/capricious and judgemental in my experience. Potential as a weapon is very high (being the target of a diving bird is unnerving at best) but control of said aggression depends (much like a dog) on the individual bird - the great Terry Pratchett described predatory birds minds very well as sharp and silvery - it’s easy to see where dinosaurs went when you spend time with them (my amazon parrot believes he is a T-Rex).

Extremely interesting! Thanks for letting me know, this is actually really cool...

and definitely a much more refined approach to a weaponized raptor as opposed to what I had in mind: grabbing the bird by its feet or tail and just swing it around as a club.
