    I found a triceratops that is exactly to scale with my GW bastiladon, so of course i had to start a scratch build. A buddy is giving me the old stag crossbow for it and I've got more lizardnen bits to put on it but here's where I'm at. FB_IMG_1492480192591.jpg FB_IMG_1492480178657.jpg

    Considering Forge World's prices, you could probably create a real dinosaur for a fraction of the cost. :p



    Good start on the Steggy @Lachlin

    It's the 20% postage cost that really puts the nail in the FW coffin.

    Yep it is, why they don't just have a flat rate for p&p is beyond me.

    Or at the very least let you have them shipped to the GW stores like standard GW stuff, it's just an additional way for them to scrape profit out. I've seen how the stuff comes shipped and it's definitely not to cover their costs that's for sure!

    I might do some green stuffing to the beast. It's been a while since I've done any of that

    Very nice. The model looks superb, was presumably economical, and is unique. I hope it was also fun to make. Thanks for sharing it with us.
