Scavenger type gryphons and were woof gals
« on: February 06, 2013, 03:43:53 AM »
I'm not entirely sure what to call them, but for the moment scavenger gryphons seems appropriate as they're sort of a vulture/hyena hybrid.

Got any ideas on what to call 'em?

Designed and sculpted by both myself and Alex of Warploque miniatures.



And some wolf ladies...



Anyway, both sets off for casting today. You know I would have preferred to say tomorrow, however ended up working on them until about 3 this morning.  o_o

You're welcome. I really do like your creations; SO thanks for posting them.
With the price of postage these days, forgetting mailing things is very understandable...I won't hold you to it. However, she'd probably enjoy the Spooky Woods.

The vulture hounds look really cool! I still dislike the freaky wolf chicks, the physique just looks off.

I like the vulture gryphon thingies, how big are they? 8)
Don't like the thickness of the bases though, I prepare them thinner.

Nice. GW make something similar, they call them demigryphs. I think I like your version better. The only thing I can think of is gryphcon, like a condor. Not very good, but you asked.

They're roughly 40mm to their maximum height and roughly 60mm from beak tip to their rear!

As for the bases, well, never mind.

Oh yes.

Thanks for the attempt. And yeah I know of the demigryphs, slight reasoning behind these.

I thought so, which is why I asked about the size.  ;)

As for names, no real ideas. Gryphengers? Vultagryphs? Hyenagryphs?

I must say those gryphons are rather something...

I dunno hopefully someone will come up with something "right" for them..

They initially reminded me of vulture lions but Melniboneon Vulture Lions were a tad larger.
