I sell these two, which are fairly small and could work with the ironclaw range:





Though, granted, the little pig has wings.  lol

Somewhere earlier in the thread, someone (passingly) mentioned Splintered Light as a source for anthro minis, and to make a log story short the sculpts are all absolutely piss poor.
*sigh*
Anyways, here are some 'presentable' furry skeletons - one of the only good things they make IMHO.


I need a drink.  >:(

You did realise it's a 15mm range, right?  ;)

And most of them are really nice in the hand, the pictures on the site really don't do them justice tbh!

Don't know if anyone is interested but I'm in the process of doing anthro (or indeed, furry... stuff  :?) I intend to do more past this lot. Different species and different looking factions.

Nothing like that on the lamb poop.  ::)

Thanks for looking.

I'M certainly interested!  :D

Any chance of those being sold somewhere?

And I suggest sculpting different animal heads for each body and putting them in a sprue, unless you've already got your heads made.

And make the head sprues available seperately - I've pretty much given up at the moment on finding decent dog-heads that I can stick on people to make cynocephali for my medieval game  :'(

These will be on sale when I have got round to doing that sort of thing... and finishing them...  ::)

Will be doing seperate types of animal heads as I go along, no worries there. Although they will often have ornamentation to fit in with their theme.

We will see what I can do  ;)

Horses for courses, I like the mice for my Medieval Mice fantasy armies. 

And the sculpts are actually good if you drop the Museum Masterpiece Mindset for 3D counters (which is all war game figures really are in the end, you know.  Those who use larger figures sometimes get enthralled in the beauty of the the figures  as an end into itself, which it is for certain segments (like the awesome painters on this forum,) of the hobby as opposed to toy soldiers.  My dos centavos.

Just posting what I've found recently - and I must say, it took a lot of looking to find a few of these.


The right Black Tree Design werewolf looks small and non-beastial enough to function as an anthro with some editing.


http://www.miniatures-workshop.com/lostminiswiki/index.php?title=Fantasy_Collectors_Series_Revised
Grenadier did a series of minis titled 'fangs of fury', which is mostly gnolls with a less savage look than most gnoll models. You'll have to scroll down to see them here, or click their name in the directory.

The sculpts look nice painted IMO, but I'm only able to judge from this single picture.


This is a Das Schwarze Auge wolfman javelineer currently available from Ral Partha Europe.
The line also has some other animal people, but the pictures are all about this quality or worse, and I found it impossible to tell whether or not they were just humans with cat ears.

Iron Wind produces this dog soldier of sorts


good for that gent who's looking for medieval "dog heads"?  ;)
From Iron Wind you'll also find the "Arcana Evolved" line of minis, most of which are quite interesting - though the anthro animals have the misfortune of having inconsistent and shoddy posing and anatomy in some cases.
