Oldhammer LOTR – Jabberwocks & Basilisks & Chimeras… oh my!
War Beasts of Lothlorien Forest
Who doesnt love forest dwelling beasts?
Here is a bedlam of beasties…
a menagerie of monsters…
a trampling herd of hoofs…
Step this way folks and let us visit the natural habitat of the war beasts of Lothlorien…
Reminder to myself, I really should update my Oldhammer Monster Manual!
These are all Citadel minis of course!
Which means they are all 'eavy metal.
The Elven beast master of Lothlorien with a Jabberwock.
That's Citadel Code C29 Jabberwock to you!
The beast masters job is to make sure no Vorpal Swords go snicker-snackering around his favorite pet.
Look at that lil mug!
What a cutie-patootie!
Warhammer 1st Edition has this for Jabberwocks:
The Jabberwock attacks on sight with a ferocity tempered only by a full stomach.
A hungry Jabberwock exhibits a luminescent quality which illuminates an area up to 6" radius around the creature, making Jabberwocks easy to see.
Unfortunately the mere sight of Jabberwock causes victims to freeze with fear…
Throw a d6 whenever a Jabberwock is visible within 15"
1-2 May not move this turn. Must Save vs Poison or die!
3-4 May not move this turn.
5-6 May move… but only away from the Jabberwock.
So how does anyone get in close combat with it? Only if it charges you, I guess!
On top of this, the beastie has 8 wounds, 8 attacks, can Regenerate, has a Weapon Skill of 8, and a Toughness of E (thats toughness 5 for you non old-schoolers!)
This sly beastie over here is a Basilisk.
Citadel Code C22 Creatures – Basilisk.
He has that glint in his eye.
He is planning some mischievous deed and will surely snicker when he accomplishes it!
This figure was supplied with a random assortment of heads and body.
There were 10 different heads and 4 different bodies.
Manticores…
Arent lions dangerous enough?
Some rogue god had to give it wings and a giant scorpion tail stinger just to mess with folks.
