Is it me or does the Wendigo look like 'Old Jingle'?

DRAC4005 - Wendigo
Feral Spirits of winter and hunger, the Wendigo are the twisted souls of mortal men and women who commited Cannibalism in life. Now, they possess a craving for fresh meat that can never be sated...
Summoned Creature. can only join the Skinwalker Posse.





Those look much more "Wendigos" to me:

Copplestone Castings BC09 - Yetis
Taller Yeti approximately 35mm tall and the smaller one 30mm tall.

I must admit I'm going to see if I can use some of my significantly under utilized Malifaux models for this...

Some of the more weird ones won't work - especially the super science unless I decide to add that to the base background for my games. But I expect but the supernatural theme should allow a significant re-use of models.

The figures are now up on the North Star site.
many of them look very interesting. Although some are
actually older figures that I have seen sold by Artisan.

I like these for Wendigo:



Although the new sculpt is also interesting.

I've used that Reindeer From Hell miniature in a FROZEN game!  lol

I don't get WTF Wendigos are supposed to have horns! The human-like Wendigos of the movie RAVENOUS (1999) are much more scarier IMHO!  8)

Don't try to watch the movie 'Wendigo'. It's just unbelieveably boring and the actual 'Wendigo' you get to see right at the end is too comical for words.

"dinohunterpoa: I don't get WTF Wendigos are supposed to have horns"

that one stumped me, but then again any answer that seemed reasonable would do. :D

personally I am going to take either a more "ghoul" look or RAVENOUS as you suggested with IMHO is a underrated horror
GM (me) - you spot a 70 year old grey hair little old lady.. Clutching large leather bound book and a uzi.

“Tom”- “She has a Book!!!”

“Danny”- “I put a bust of M4 fire between her eyes” rolls…

Phil- “if he misses I put a shotgun slug in her face”

With wendigo's (wendigii?) like many mythological creatures, there are multiple looks from starving humanoids to antlered monsters and flaming corpses!

Wait until you see RU-MOR's Wendigo artwork- it's one of my favourite pieces in the entire book! Very 'Pan's Labyrinth'...
You can of course use whatever suitable model you wish for your Wendigo if it suits your own vision- during playtesting, I used a wingless Otherworld Gargoyle with the antlers from a Frostgrave Rangifer!  :)

I now have a Blog, like an actual modern-day human!

One could clip off the horns if they're such a bother.  I'm guessing they have horns because that's how the developers "saw" that particular monster.  Unless they have some horn special attack it really doesn't matter... :)




Edited because apparently I can't spell.

Well for someone who has never done wild west stuff in my many years of gaming, I've gone in for Dark Confeds'  and some Congregation chaps. I'm sure my Congo troops can fill out the ranks for them. Plus lots of spare pulp figures for various posses. Really looking forward to this silliness. :D

Anyone have any suggestions for some ragtag Johnny Rebs that can supplement the ones in the Nickstarter?
