 lol well they do the job well then, just not to my taste  :)
I have a chronopia snakeman actually that I just found a couple of days ago. Thanks. I think I may go for some reaper ones.

Does anyone know where I can get some good snakemen type miniatures from. I'm after ones with a snake bottom half and snake head. (Snake to half and legs would just look stupid).
Any ideas. I know the reaper bones has a few but I'm after a variety.
Thanks.

Edit: also found reapers nagendra which look pretty good, if pricey


For myself, i mix a bone figure like that one :




with a celtic torso from plastic Warlord Games   :



the head is a Mantic plastic ghoul !


Now it's up to you to find the good torso and heads for your conversion work !    ;)

I don't think snakemen with legs look stupid.

Actually this is my favorite of all the snakemen i've ever seen.

Shame you can't buy them and there was only one pose in the game.

That's quite cool maxxev! I probably do what nervousfr has said and mix it with some reaper bones. Who made that snakeman?

I recently bought the sphere wars snakeman, which is quite nice. He is unarmed but you could pop a weapon in his hand easily enough. Generally was nice sculpt and casting except I found that the shoulder joint needed a bit of work to get a good fit tho.

I can see how peeps say Snakemen with legs dont look right. I can see it as i think i may be one of them. I think i like my snakemen legless.

The figure was from the dark world village of fear boardgame and is OOP and quite rare, they turn up on ebay, but they are usually oretty expensive and they are not the best casts with a lot of blank undercuts, tough plastic and fudgy detail, still the snakeman design I like the best though.
