You REALLY like dogs don't you? ;-))

Cacique Caribe26 Jan 2006 1:59 a.m. PST

Some will be wolf predators, others as early dog companions to prehistorics, others as 16th century hounds.

And if I want an entire pack of post-apocalyptic wild dogs, well, I can use all of them!

PS. And yes, I LOVE dogs. I cannot believe I never had miniature dogs (for 28mm) before.

I'm shocked that the Vendel mastiffs aren't on the list. (Unless you already have 'em, obviously….)

You might also want to add the wolfhounds from Thunderbolt Mountain (they can be purchased separately from the Wood Elf Huntsman with Dogs).

Superb canine anatomy, on those two. Hardly proto-dogs, but great for 16th Century hounds.

The Foundry used to have a "sheepdog", as well. Sadly it wasn't a Border Collie, but merely a bobtail (Old English Sheepdog). A killer bobtail might be an interesting addition to a post-apocalypse game.

I have a pack of wolfhounds for my 15mm line. They would obviously be small 25mm wolfhounds but might work as smaller dog types.

If you are interested you can look here link .

Some other nice dog figures…

The WW dogs paint up really well, and the Excelsior dogs are often found on eBay with a search under "chronopia", they used to be sold in packs of 4 or 5 w/o the hunter.

And for super-wolfhounds, GW should have the two that accompany the new Wood Elf King Orion available as bitz before too long. BIG dogs…

Cacique Caribe26 Jan 2006 2:32 p.m. PST

David,
Would those work as smaller dogs for 25m? Or are they too small for that?
CC

Splintered Light Miniatures Sponsoring Member of TMP26 Jan 2006 3:20 p.m. PST

CC,
Yes, I think they would work as small-medium 25mm dogs. If you send an email to splinteredlightminis@earthlink.net , I will be happy to email a picture of one next to a 28mm figure to you.

You've got one coming your way.

Cacique Caribe26 Jan 2006 4:58 p.m. PST

David,

Wow. I am impressed!

It looks like I am about to buy my very first 15mm figures, even though they are dogs.

Thanks so much.

What size bases are those painted wolfhounds mounted on, David?

Splintered Light Miniatures Sponsoring Member of TMP26 Jan 2006 6:28 p.m. PST

They are on the warmaster bases, which are 40x20 I believe.

David

Cacique Caribe26 Jan 2006 6:53 p.m. PST

David,
Consider them ordered. Thanks.

"They are on the warmaster bases, which are 40x20 I believe."

Cool. That tells me how big they are. You may see another order…

Splintered Light Miniatures Sponsoring Member of TMP27 Jan 2006 11:55 a.m. PST

Farstar,
Outstanding. If you send me an email, I can send you a picture of them next to a couple of 25/28mm figures.

Guys,

It might please some to know that I have just submitted an Eureka 100 Club request for the following:

Dingoes (suitable also as Carolina Dogs – for those needing canine companions for their early Americans)

Description of Figure:

4-6 Dingo dog variants (suitable also as Carolina Dogs, for those who may want to have canines for their early Americans), in various poses (at least these four poses: walking, running, standing alert, sniffing ground).

References:

Please use the following links as a guide:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dingo

Very similar (in general build, size and appearance) to the Carolina Dog:

Is anyone else interested?

PS. As soon as Nic sets up an official listing, I will let everyone know.
