I think these kind of sculpting styles best suit game pieces like board game pieces or chess pieces rather than wargaming pieces.

I would buy something like this for an ornament but not for a wargaming army.

I don't know, i think something simple like heroquest with a wooden board and carved figures,bone counters ect could be very beautiful AND a joy to play with.
never trust a horse, they make a commitment to shoes that no animal should make.

Elephant tusk and Rhino horn are the way forward. Very exotic. A chess board made from rosewoods and Madagascar ebony would truly set the work apart!

I've got a checkers set made from sliced Siberian Tiger pizzle and Jenga made from Giant Panda vertebrae.

How do you not eat the checkers?!? So delicious. And I've always disliked pandas. That is a fine ending for them.

Would hero quest not come under board game?

Good point  lol no matter what happens "boardgame" will always make me think of scrabble.

sod the panda's they do themselves no favors anyway.if they weren't to lazy they wouldn't get punched in the eye so much.
