I’ve got some myself. Pretty good. Thanks for sharing @JDM I'll take a look at them. The Trojan civilians look like they could work as Esrolian citizens. 7 hours ago, seneschal said: https://www.magistermilitum.com/era/fantasy.html?cat[0]=60022&cat[1]=59625&cat[2]=61918 Medieval ducks in 15mm. A fit? Would 15mm ducks look right alongside 28mm humans? Are their weapons and armor too advanced for Glorantha? Enticing! @Helliwell I sent reply message to your response on the Infinity-Engine form with details of what I'd like to order for the miniatures and the Strike Rank Tracker additional player sets.

I think you can make them a bit more old-fashioned with minimal changes (file/cut problem bits, add/remove details, etc.), and the right paint job (paint metalwork in copper/bronze instead of silver/grey "iron/steel" colors, paint the armor as "leather/brown" instead of metalwork, etc). Some elements (that very-swashbuckling feathered hat on one) might not be adaptable, unless you can tolerate Gloranthan anachrony.

Cultist of Sooty Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Some more that I thought of: Eureka Miniatures have a lot of ancients - Assyrians, Greeks, Amazons, Persians, etc. That's an Australian site but I know they have distribution deals in other countries. There's Gangs of Rome for lightly-equipped Roman men and women, and quite a lot of civilians too. Brace yourself, though, they're not cheap. Crocodile Games have Wargods of Aegyptus and of Olympus. Bear's Head miniatures have some nice ones, including a great undead rhino which I'm sure everyone would love to encounter somewhere in Prax. I also have a vague memory of someone whose range included amazons riding antelope, but my memory and search fu are failing me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borbetomagnus Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 @seneschal I like those ducks more than the 15mm ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seneschal Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) How big are ducks supposed to be compared to an average human? The Duckmen at 20mm would be brawny fellows but a head shorter than a 28mm human hero. The 15mm duck warriors would be hobbit or toddler size compared to a human adventurer.

borbetomagnus Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 There are lots of great suggestions in this thread for miniatures that can be used for Glorantha. Keep 'em coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDM Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Black Tree Design have three sets of Greek civilians that are useful for Glorantha. Wargames Foundry WG 168 also worth a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borbetomagnus Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 I purchased a pack of Oxen miniatures (2) from the WizKids Pathfinder Battles Deep Cuts miniatures line that could work The Broken Tower Runequest Glorantha QuickStart adventure. I should probably pick up a couple more packs of Oxen that can be used with any other encounters with Praxian Tribes. A few bison would be useful too. I need to get me a few of the War Llamas.

Cloud64 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 (edited) Courtesy of my Pinterest stream, this amazing figure came to my attention today. OK, it's not a mini for gaming, rather a modeller's piece as it's a 20cm tall, but it caught my eye immediately and made me think of Jar-Eel. It's not quite right for her, but it is undeniably Gloranthan in feel, which makes sense as it is of Penthesileia, Queen of Amazons from Trojan mythology. http://alexandrosmodels.com/categories/ancient-greece/ag-87-penthesileia-queen-of-amazons-trojan-war-ca-1180-bc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penthesilea They also do a neanderthal shaman whom I think would make a pretty good Praxian shaman http://alexandrosmodels.com/categories/ethnic/eth-98-neanderthal-shaman Edited May 8, 2019 by Cloud64 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seneschal Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Moonraker Miniatures has lots of figures appropriate for Call of Cthulhu but I stumbled across these in their science fiction line: http://www.moonrakerminiatures.com/phagons.htm In other words, broo with laser weapons! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud64 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) My Pinterest stream has coughed up the goods again. More figurine busts. The page has pop-up pics so it's a faff to link to the particularly relevant ones, I'll leave you to look at those that take your fancy https://www.planetfigure.com/useralbums/busts-2.733/view But to give you an idea, my mind immediately named this, 'Shouldn't that bear be white?'

Joerg Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 My thoughts were "wrong bear, wrong beard." A polar bear is going to be a lot more baseball cap than that short-nosed brown bear. Quote Telling how it is excessive verbis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borbetomagnus Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 I got my large order of Infinity Engine miniatures, which also included the Dragonnewts from the kickstarter, and I'm totally loving them. These are some hella sculpts! Bravo to Richard and company for producing a fine series of Glorantha miniatures. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borbetomagnus Posted October 28, 2019 Author Share Posted October 28, 2019 I ordered and received two War Llamas, one with the queen and one without rider, along with the Orsa Stormbringer big cat rider. The sculpts are quite good and I'm happy with the llamas. I may order a couple more without riders. Now to find some Glorantha appropriate riders for these riderless llamas. Does anyone have any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
