    You could sculpt your own. There's a guy on The Pyramid Vault forum who's sculpting all his own dinos for his army. Here's the link, if you're interested in that. Other than that, your options are a little limited, I guess, seeing as how a toy T-rex or something would look a little silly. Something from the Antedeluvia Collection might work as well. The Tyrannosaurus is probably a little big at 6 1/2", but the Afrovenator is probably just right at 4 1/4" long. They're made out of resin, too, so you could GS them a little bit if you wanted them to look a little more Warhammer-esque.

    I don't know of any alternatives, but I must ask:

    Why don't you like the model??? It's the coolest model in the Lizardmen range IMHO, and maybe the biggest reason for me starting a Lizardmen army! :jawdrop:

    i dont know....it just reminds mre of my cat for some reason...(probaly more to do with my cat being a beast)
    when ever i look at the modle i can only think that its pouncing on to a big ball of yarn or sumthing, it just dosnt give of the vibe of "im the most heniosly buch thing on the most heniosly dedly junglr in the world"

    I don't know who makes these metal miniatures, but lots of Jaguar car owners seem to mount carnosaurs on their cars. ;)

    I kind of agree with diablarist about the cat-like pose of the carny model.

    Everyone knows the carnosaur is crouched low like that so that he can hide behind skinks!

    I loved that model and was thinking of getting it for my personal collection. Did you see their dark elf cold ones? I was thinking of using one as my horned one.

    You know after checking out the site I cannot find the mini I was thinking about I think it was from a different one. They had a dark elf chariot pulled by 2 beastie looking reptiles.

    I use the gamezone predators for my cold ones, they rock, though they are too small for a carnosaur, they are slightly bigger than a mount base.
