Boris, hell, that's Frazetta, CC. See the stylized "FF" down at the bottom?

Here's the official Horib action figure: picture

I'm with Gray Ghost, I'd use the RAFM Reptiliads. They're definitely the most snake-like of all of the available Lizardmen out there, apart from a few OOP minis.

Jeff,

Thanks for the correction. I was doing a google search for "Tarzan Vallejo" a few minutes before that and was still in Vallejo mode.

Must be my ear ache medications. :)

Thanks.

No problem, CC. There's something about Vallejo's work that just leaves me cold, which is why I over-reacted.

And I've had my share of earaches, they're no fun.

Look at Dragonbloodminis.com troglodites of the sunless forest DBM039u as well.

I'm actuall collecting figures for a war between advanced snakemen and thier rebelling lizardmen slaves, humans will be caught in the crossfire.
