Tutorial Size Comparison: Verge of War Raptors as Cold-One Cavalry

@Just A Skink inspired me to put together this comparison, in case anyone every wants to use these minis for WHF/AOS:



The raptors are from Verge of War, part of their 'Seit Aggression Force' faction of grey-aliens who use attack dinosaurs as front line troops.



Really great quality resin models. Lots of tiny pieces, but they were pretty easy for me to put together. I decided to keep them on their round bases and plan to use them as random encounters for Jungleheim!



Good price too at $20 bucks. I want to say they are based out of Ukraine?

I think they would work great as alternate cold-ones as well. You would have to cut off some of the (excellent) back detail, but that wouldn't be too hard to do. They are a tad bigger than the normal cold-ones, but are much less derpy-looking.



Some more size comps:

 

Also I should say this is the review I looked at before I bought these minis so I could see what I was getting into:



Lots of very tiny pieces to put together.

 

They look a nice size and impressive sculpt for a Cold One.
The only downside I can spot at the minute is literaly a downside. There backs are pretty steep hanging over to the front. So any Knight on his back will probebly face the ground.
Don't you think?

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Thanks for posting this @Warden and

Yes, that's one of my concerns too. Still they look more dynamic than the current cold ones. If you had a new set of knights, maybe you could lean them back a bit? Hmmm.

 

I agree. The miniatures do have a ton of pieces though, the legs are separate parts from the bodies, so it would be possible to lift the torso up a bit when gluing with a bit of work.

I think the saurus-cav models are a ball joint into the rider's legs? If possible I would also tilt the rider back to offset a bit too.

 

Great find @Warden !

 

There is a ball joint, but the spine spikes make it almost impossible to tilt the torso upwards. (It is more of a sideways adjustment)

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Snip, snip. Shave, shave. Some of the spines are probably easier than others. I almost cut off some of the spines just cleaning the flash line.
