Growler Chieftain



Growler Bulls




Growler Onehorns

Thanks! I already own some more bulls, onehorns and a horde of pups for a full force, but there were not so many different poses so I showed only one each.

Razorfang is weighting about 0,9 Kilogram. You can feel his power when moving it over the gaming table!  :D

 Looks like you are only missing the Leapy Bull miniature.

  Razorfang does have some weight to him.

If I remember right, they could easily be used as sling bullets lol

They look cool, and a challenge for anyone across the table from them.

The leapy bull is one of the designs published not by FASA, so I missed it. Nice figure!

I will post my Zykhee force next.

 Looking forward to seeing your Zykhee.

 Did not know that about the Leapy Bull.Might be the same as some of the other releases that showed up later on.Neo-Soviet Vanguard troopers with Rocket launcher and HMG sculpted by Roy Eastland.Officer with gas mask which may just have been a conversion.Pharon Warlord of Anubis and Pharon with ranged weapon.Masher Task Master and Masher with crusher arm.Two of the Golem figures Slaver and Pounder.Not sure how many Zykhee arrived late to the party.Might have been quite a few.

I found this Vor fansite while hunting for something else.
Excellent FAQ section (Rules and Forcebooks) and custom conversion rules for 40K forces/units under Vor rules.

Not been updated for a good while but links all work.

 Nice collection of miniatures.

 Like the mounted one's and notice that you used the Void Junker Sandrunners as mounts.

They DO look better with paint on them, but I'm still not really jiving with them aesthetically. No clue why exactly.

The Zykhee fit seamlessly into a John Carter aesthetic (and are a good size fit with the Bronze Age Green Martians). Deformed enough to make a great Hormad.
