28mm Wargames Atlantic Lizardmen

For Sci-fi if they had technology for more advanced weaponry wouldn't they probably also have technology for something like body-armour rather than just a loin-cloth?

As an alternative, I'm fairly sure I saw an old SF film where the laser weapons looked like spears (the beam came out of the spear-tip).


For fantasy, short spears are probably easier to use in either a swamp setting or a dungeon - after all, the Zulus did pretty well with short spears

Hell, Stargate did that with the staff weapons

(or rebels being supplied by gun runners, probably some seedy Yank). 

As a seedy Yank I am thoroughly insulted. We would have been supplying the assault rifles, not the muskets.

Very funny. Does anyone actually have any pictures of ones they have painted? Also with some size comparisons?

The ARs look rather more like Soviet weaponry than Yankee, although I'll concede many of my fellow countrymen are notorious for selling anything with a trigger to anyone, anywhere, any time.  Not as though getting a hold of a load of AKs is exactly a challenge regardless of your nationality.  They'll still be on the market in teh year 3000 at the current rate.

No pictures yet, but I just got a couple of sprues in the post. They're about a head taller than a Gripping Beast Viking and relatively slender of limb, though with very strong-looking torsos. They look great - very lizardy! I'll post some pics when i get a moment.

I liked the Northstar snakemen but always lamented the fact they had no tails.

These lizardmen look great to me I probably don't need them but would love to get a few sprues!

[Hobgoblin]

One point about them is that they're lizardmen rather than dinosaur-men. And that in itself is something to be celebrated!

I like the Northstar snakemen, but I prefer these.
