Let's support this plea for a sprue of small carnivorous dinosaurs by Wargames Factory!

'There are lots of big dinosaur models available for miniature wargaming, but very few small dinosaur models are available. Since Tim has worked on dinosaurs for years, it'd be awesome to channel that into an awesome box set This multi-part sprue would have pieces to assemble small two-legged dinosaurs. It would contain: Velociraptor head Troodon head Masiakosaurus head (weird curved jaws) Oviraptor head (birdlike head) Coelophysis head (slim head) Standard small theropod body/tail Velociraptor body/tail Velociraptor legs (w/talons) "Normal" nontaloned legs Clawed arms Extras on the sprue might include small pterosaurs, eggs, and bone piles.

Tim, please design this like you have done your horses. 2 body halves with separate head (maybe 2-3 head options if they fit). One basic running/stalking pose is good enough. Maybe the arms are separate as well to allow different poses?'

Tamiya already make some of these, although they are to 1/35th scale, I believe.

15mm?

Great idea. I've copied the details over to the Lost World Safari yahoo group so it should start to pick up some pre-orders fairly quickly.

Being new to miniature gaming, could someone explain this to me. I would be ordering only to learn the price at a future date, right? And are these plastic?

Yes, these are plastic.

This is essentially a show of interest to see whether Wargames Factory will produce such a set of figures.
If they get enough preorders to make it viable they will start producing them.
