With a little spark of inspiration, I have a new bundle of digitally kitbashed figures for my apocalypse projects. Somewhere in the wastes, there is a mad scientist turning animals into cyborg death machines.

I give you, the Cow-borg... or Cy-Bull... one of each, probably

They come with either simple puddle bases or scenic bases as seen below:

Everything but the grass and leaf litter prints as one piece.

I printed mine out a bit on the large side as I wanted them to be easily recognizable as a heavy unit. If you wanted something more "average cyborg cow" sized you may want to scale it down 10-15%

More critters coming soon.

That joke is bull!

I can not wait to print some of these up! Might be a few weeks due to real life, but I am super stoked!

I'm loving the idea by the way.
Will have to see what toy animals/dinosaurs I have lying around
and try converting.

Quirky and full of character! 👍

Hmmmm, dinosaurs... That could be fun. Velo-Cy-Raptors! Cy-Ranasaurus!

Or, goats.

And a final picture showing a 28mm figure for scale (just to ram the point home).

You'll get no Butts from me. Sorry, only kidding.

These sculpts are the Greatest Of All Time!

I love these farmyard terrors! Can't wait to print, paint, and play them!

Glad everyone is liking these. Next up will be the chickens, but I need about a week to get them painted up and ready for their debut.

I submit to you: Consider the backside anal emissions of large herbivores. It's often overlooked as a defensive response. I developed an expanding template for sauropods (for scenario Nazi's vs Dinosaurs) that blows out the backside of a giant herbivore with wet rubbery sounds. Anyone caught within the sizable template of toxic gas unprepared immediately collapses to the ground. Only a troop with a gas mask can pull the overwhelmed downed screaming and gasping unfortunate figures out of the template. Players are shocked to encounter this phenomenon for the first time. Brings a smile to my face.

Well, now, that is something to consider. It also makes me think that the Cyborg chickens (Chick-borg? Cy-ken?) may lay eggs that hatch into little creepy crawly drones.
