    Here is the direct link to Avatars of War, but keep in mind that I've heard their shipping times are HORRIBLE!

    They also pop on Ebay from time to time

    Certain gaming stores carry them as well. Perhaps your FLGS might have them in stock, meaning you can save the shipping and get them immediately.

    Gotcha! I've seen those HUNDREDS of times, but I never know that he was the one who sculpted them! Too cool! It's like having our own celebrity! Lol!

    Only got sporadic access to interwaggghbs, but just wanted to point out, the middle one is not one of mine, I can't remember the sculptor's name off the top of my head, but she does have a Deviantart account (which I also can't remember right now).

    Will check when I'm back and post a link to her page.

    Getting to work on the palanquin now:

    IMG_20180419_081819.jpg

    Oh, and a quick question - could anyone tell me roughly how different a standard saurus warrior is in size compared with the plastic old blood/kroq-gar in the carno kit? I'm planning future conversions and wondering if, with a little greenstuff work, a saurus warrior could be bulked out with the old blood parts?

    The Oldblood is considerably larger. I wouldn't say twice the size but not far from it. I am pretty sure many of his parts will look weird and way too big on a Saurus Warrior.
    That being said: It depends on what you want to achieve. Some things might work.

    I was thinking of using the old blood heads and arms mainly - trimming down the old blood crests so they're a little less flamboyant and making casts of the heads and arms to use in place of the normal warrior heard and arms.

    shhh, it's a secret!

    Nah not really - he's going to be getting fried with lightning from the Slann above, causing his skin to melt off...

    Hmmmm I fear the arms might be too large. Saurus Warriors arms are surprisingly flimsy.

    Change projects!!! Here is my progress on my (nearly finished) Bastilodon. No conversion work on this one, which was a nice break...

    I'm digging the vibe with that Bastiladon. Good contrast for the table top. Your style reminds me of comic book art. I like the fantasy and game aspect of it! Good stuff!!!

    Love the creative flourishes on the base, the gem came out looking good and I love how the bastilodon came out looking very stylized but with such a natural looking color palette.

    So despite having way too many modelling projects on the go already, I've decided to add another. I'm trying to build a bulkier, more dynamic-looking saurus warrior, using the old-blood head and a lot of greenstuff. I've also repositioned the tail so it's not dragging along the ground. Comments/criticisms welcome, it's not to late to change things!
