With all the Greys and Martians that seem to be making such regular calls these days, I'm wondering…does anyone make 15mm burning cows?
I know Battlefront do dead ones, but I'd "like" some not dead, preferably running (not the ones from the F&M outbreak in the UK).
Any breed, not particular, Longhorn, Jersey, any.
any leads thank you.. |

never seen any, i think theres some burning pigs in 15mm, but burning cows just came out in the mars attack 28mm kickstarter so we may see some in other scales down the road now :) |

Xyston do burning pigs in their 15mm Roman line. Haven't seen burning cows though. Should be fairly easy to green stuff some flames. It's the running pose that is a stumper. Good luck. |

RatGod, I was thinking, 'he's kidding!' Lo, went to Xyston, lo, couldn't find. Until I stumbled on Flaming Pigs… ;->= Will say, those are pigs with wings. Stumped on running cattle; even standing with heads raised, so that some fiddling with legs might yield usable bovines… Doug |

Thanks for this. I've know of the flaming pigs for a while (coming from historicals). The Mars Attacks Kickstarter I think will be doing them but in 28mm. I think I may have to use the Minifigs Texas Longhorn. Now whether to sculpt the flames onto them or mount mulitples on a base with smoke on top of them. |

Isn't cruel to want burning cows or other animals, think of their poor feelings, always sitting there with the weight of that fire cooking them. Have to inform the local branch of the PETMMA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Metal Miniature Animals) & watch out for their more militant wing – GETMMA (Gamers for the Ethical Treatment of Metal Miniature Animals) with their loaded dice, surreal interpretation of rules, rolling of extra dice and picking the best!!
The things that go through your mind when waiting for the laser to finishing cutting.

wow. The things that go through your mind. Just stop starring at the light. |

it's either the light or the smell of burning MDF in the morning!!! (or both) |

Take standard model cows and cut (I'm thinking th Litko explosion markers here) specially cow shaped acrylic burning elements to add to them.
So then they are both standard and non burning by the application of a token! John T |

We're more concerned about the 15mm 'standard cows'. Most I'm finding are definitely grazing. Don't 15mm cowboys have to worry about stampedes? ;->= Lovely idea, though you might consider slicing off one side, as the flames would tend to bend as the beasties run in pain. Oh, my, we ARE cruel, aren't we? Doug |

Cows in a can? Cows in a jar? Mmmmmmmmm……… Thank you Mr Harold and John Treadway and thebeast. Excellent ideas. |

Magister militum do oxen in 15mm in their ancients range. I'd add a link but the blinking firewall at work now stops me accessing MM – I can only wonder how long before the algorithms also bar TMP too :-( |

link Handsome beasts, but still look to not be running. However, love the serendipity; I wasn't aware of Chariot Miniatures spaceships! Doug |
