For example, they have Mycaenean models which would fit well as Kethaelan Orlanthi. They also have Amazons which could make Yelornans for example, or Lunar cavalry.

I like the Crocodile Games Amazon Outriders and Raiders. I ordered Amazons from Bad Squid, but could use some mounted infantry. Do you know if the Crocodile Games miniatures are 28mm or 30mm?

I couldn't find measurements on the newer models (only that the square bases are 20mm), but when going back to their older Egyptian mythology line, it says 28mm for those, and I haven't seen anything to suggest it's changed.

That's good to know that the Egyptian mythology line is 28mm and it's probably true that the Amazons are at the same scale. I sent a message to Crocodile Games via their "Contact Us" web form and I'll let you know their answer when I receive it. I'd like to get their official word on the miniatures' scale.

Dissolv 44 Report post Posted November 10 I used the Old Glory figures with one or two exceptions for the leader types (I am no longer sure where I found them). The riders are Sarmatians, the armor meant to bone, and the Buffalo themselves are from the West Wind Cowboy line up. In retrospect I might have made the bases more Praxian, but the whole campaign was being run in Dragon Pass at the time. The bases also need more vegetation, but I got photo-happy before I finished them. https://www.oldgloryminiatures.com/proddetail.asp?prod=ZCW-53 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like the Acheson Creations bison's pose and will be getting some of those. I've also been on the hunt for zebras. Thanks for sharing! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

borbetomagnus 46 Report post Posted November 10 (edited) Here are a few more figures that I've completed. Here's a Great Troll from Infinity Engine's RuneQuest Sampler Set. There's a very faint Man rune on the shield. "Claw" with necklace of severed hands, and Big Rhino from MadKnight's Broo Pack. I still have a few more of the Broo Pack to paint.

borbetomagnus 46 Report post Posted November 11 Here are the two Rock Lizards from Infinity Engine's Adversaries set. And the Dream Weft. I attempted to make it appear that blue-white light was emanating from between the wraps under the hood and from the open sleeves of the figure. It didn't turn out as I intended however. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

borbetomagnus 46 Report post Posted November 11 (edited) These miniatures are from WizKids unpainted line of figures for (mostly) D&D games, but I think they're perfectly usable for Glorantha. Especially for Rune spells such as Summon Cult Spirit (RQG p. 342). Air Cult Spirits. I used real leaves cut to size and glued them on the miniatures for added effect. Sealed with clear matte spray. Hopefully the matte spray will prevent the leaves from decomposing further. Also, I didn't use the small black bases that were included in the package and replaced the bases with clear ones. That way you can put an air spirit on a clear "flight" base to show that it's hovering above the ground (see second image below). Here are WizKids' medium earth elementals, which can be used for Gloranthan Earth Spirits. These WizKids' Oxen can be used for Sartar cattle. And here's a Reaper Miniatures pack mule that's always useful for adventurers.

I sent a message to Crocodile Games via their "Contact Us" web form and I'll let you know their answer when I receive it. I'd like to get their official word on the miniatures' scale. I emailed Crocodile Games about the scale of the Egyptian mythology miniatures line and here's the detailed response I received from Chris who permitted me to post the reply. "Scale is a difficult thing to answer, as there seems to be lots of interpretations of what a 28/30/etc mini is, and where they are measured to? The head of the eye? I describe our miniatures as 28mm 'heroic' scale, the same scale as Warhammer miniatures from the 1990s and 2000s (though not oversized like the modern GW stuff.). A bit more robust that the same era of Ral Partha miniatures. I was a sculptor for both companies before starting this, and my scale has stayed essentially the same throughout. WarGods minis fit nicely with most conventional 28/30mm miniature ranges and scenery, they are not a weird scale. Most of our warriors are photographed on a 20x20mm square base, so that should give you a good point of reference to figure out their general size. Thanks, Chris Croc Games" 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
