"TMP link Metadata: Manufacturer: Splintered Light
Line: 15/18mm Animals and Creatures
Set: MISC09 Giant Weasels
Base markings: © SLM 07
Release date: 2007
Sculptor: Bob Olley
Date painted: 2011
Painting:
Nothing tricky here. These were fun and quick. I primed in Dupli-color gray and after painting glazed their coats with inks to give them a rich, reddish sheen. The undersides are bright, warm white and I did their eyes basic black with a white glint for that sinister beady-eye look. You can see the legs that aren't touching the ground have some structural support sculpted to suggest grass, but I think it works fine painted gray in my case and can represent dust being thrown up from the dungeon floor.

Another blog post with a short roundup of weasel minis options. In case you missed the kobolds and would like to see more:

:D Oh, and not even going to worry about tmp turning my standard bbcode to gibberish anymore. When tmp gets with the program tmp will get with the program! :) |

Oh, and not even going to worry about tmp turning my standard bbcode to gibberish anymore. When tmp gets with the program tmp will get with the program! :) Well, if you had the bbcode right in the first place…  (I'm guessing you're trying to overlap tags, right?) |

The code is perfectly legit bbcode and works at every other forum. :) Yes, I link the images back to flickr to comply with their terms of service. Sometimes when I go back to edit the tmp post the code has been "massaged" and is not as it was when I pasted it in. But sometimes it does look the way I posted it. Above some links were massaged and others look the way I posted them, but all display as broken. Anyway, thanks for having a look! |

Traditionally, Kobolds do not have cavalry… But these Weasels look big enough to afford a rider. ;-) I bought some Caesar 1/72 Goblin figures: I cut the two spearmen models from their bases to make nice Wolf Riders for my Prince August Wolf models (home cast -- have the wolves, but not the cast riders from the molds -- sold the riders, and the molds, but kept a surplus of Wolves from a Tolkien, "Battle of Five Armies" game, sans riders). Just an idea to spice up your games, and give the Kobolds a leg up, so to speak. Cheers! |

Cheers, thanks for the suggestion, Slag. :) The way the rules go the weasels are so much more powerful than the kobold, however, that the kobold would pretty much be dead weight to the weasel. I like to use them like a hidden threat, that you never know when the kobold ranks are going to open up and a weasel emerge. |
