Blog Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Edit: I'm re-inventing this blog as a place to tell you where to find amazing models that I and others come across. Feel free to PM me and I'll compile your finds in a list here. I am putting the focus onto Lizardmen and units you can swap into the army with ease.

Lizardmen & More:

http://wispgames.com/ - This website is coming soon but is the home to Fey Miniatures who produced an excellent looking hypnotic toad as featured in this article: http://www.beastsofwar.com/fey/fey-reveals-frog-sorcery-model-hypno/. Head over to Fey on Facebook to give them a Like and enter into a competition to win a version of this model before it comes out as a limited edition sale.

http://www.avatars-of-war.com/ - This website offers a range of miniatures, under the Saurian section we find some of the fine work of one of our fellow Lustrians: @Rikard we also have a model by a sculptor unknown to myself but credited as "ªRU-MOR".

http://trollforged.com/ - Here we can find 3 more excellent examples of @Rikard's work under the sub sections Fantasy + Lizard Men. The website offers a small collection of other models worth scouring through.

http://www.lustria-online.com/threads/first-post-custom-model-kroxigor.15419/ - I'm sure many of you are aware of @woogity and his wonderful creations, but for new members and those who haven't yet discovered these models you are in for a treat. You can register you interest at the now officially endorsed: http://www.lustria-online.com/threads/unofficial-woogity-interest-thread.17398/page-7#post-158292. You can also keep track of his latest projects here.

http://eurekaminusa.com/ - This website has a wealth of models across a broad spectrum. Under the sub category Pond Wars you can find a selection of frogs and turtles alike. @Bowser suggested that the Frog King would make a great Slann and I couldn't agree more. The Website also has a section of Lizardmen by Alan Marsh - however these are 10mm models. There is the added bonus of Aztecs if you're looking for humans to enslave.

http://hfminis.co.uk/ - Hasslefree Miniatures is a website my fiancé came across that sells a unique variety of what appears to be community made models. We found these Mushroom Men called Agarix by Russ Lockyer. They would fit well into a jungle themed Lizardmen tribe. Last but not least we found The Travelling Court of the Brownie King by Mike Thorp a perfect stand alone model or nice dinosaur for rider conversion (unfortunately this model currently out of stock).

http://heresyminiatures.com/shop/index.php?main_page=site_map - This website has some amusing miniatures with striking resemblances to popular culture for example many of the Scientists & Civilians figures remind me of someone but I can't think WHO. Back to more serious matters, if you're expanding your Lizardmen horizons or thinking of hanging out in the sewers with a Skaven mentor you may want 1 or possibly 4 of these Turtles by Simon Fraser. It also has to be said that the toad familiar by Paul Muller has potential.

http://www.mirliton.it/ - Has a small collection of lizard folk to browse through called Iguanids. They also have a selection of jungle creatures - snakes etc. For our Skaven friends they also offer some appropriately named figures: Ratscum.

http://www.reapermini.com/ - Reaper Miniatures offers us four pages of Reptus from a wide range of sculptors. @pendrake provided a useful list of notable figures among them - Dragon Cavalry - Dragon Turtle - Couatl - Mushroom Men & Reptus who didn't quite make the first list.

https://www.crocodilegames.com/ - Have some really nice looking alligators, just kidding take a look at their Sebeki Crocodiles. I found this Titan Master under Titans & Monsters in the Olympus category. If you are looking to expand with small props then they also have a disverse range of additional Icons & Artifacts This website was found by @n810 you can thank him if you see anything you like.

http://www.ralparthaeurope.co.uk/ - Display a range of miniatures among them I found a pretty decent Triceratops under Prehistoric, they also have some Lizardmen but I think these are 15mm scale.

http://antimatter-games.com/games/shadowsea/ - Stumbled upon this site in my travels, they have some really nice sea themed models including some wicked sea monsters. They have a Titanoceratops which would make a nice Steagadon replacement/conversion (With Rider). Or if you wanted an Avatar of Nakai the Wanderer then this might be a suitable option though it would need some tweaking. The Draconid seem lizard-like too this site has lots to get your teeth into.

http://www.hobbylinc.com/ - Have some nice looking dinosaurs from Pegasus on offer another @n810 find.

http://khurasanminiatures.tripod.com/ - Have just released a pretty scary looking T-rex. While their website is down here is their Facebook.

http://www.warploqueminiatures.com/ - Have some brilliant looking miniatures, though not specifically Lizardmen there are many creatures that will slot easily into the ranks of the scaly overlords. The Gremlins would be interesting for a jungle tribe.

http://mierce-miniatures.com/index.php?act=pro&pre=mrm_dkl_kth_kro_min_100_000 - here are some decent crocodile warriors they look good to fill in as kroxigors - they are second rate to @woogity in my personal opinion at a first glance but nonetheless deserve a mention.

Disclaimer - If any of these models are out of production or unavailable I cannot and will not be held responsible, with the exception of them being sold out due to my own purchasing habits . If any models are no longer produced please let me know so that I can modify this list accordingly.

 

You should go check out @woogity ´s colossi if you haven´t already, they are awesome!

 

Thanks Jorgik I will certainly do that

 

They are really awesome - I'd defiantly order some.

 

Here is something that appeared on my facebook news feed just now a nice little toad model that would make a good custom character I think

http://www.beastsofwar.com/fey/fey-reveals-frog-sorcery-model-hypno/

 

Found another figure perfect for Lizardmen ordered one myself and its really great can't recommend it enough:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390912653948?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I got it in metal I think it looks polyresin in the picture but mine turned up metal perhaps they all are

The website for these models and others sadlyonly 3 saurian it seems:

http://www.avatars-of-war.com/eng/web/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=59&Itemid=51

 

Those Saurus are @Rikard 's sculpts.
He as 3 more older sculpts on Trolforged mini.

 

indeed the packaging says "Sculpted by Richard Sweet" had no idea he was a member impressed with his work

 

He just ran a sculpting completion last month or so, should be another coming up sooner or later.

 

I have no experience sculpting I wish I did i'd apply it straight away - I intend to try with greenstuff soon it's just finding the money to do it all at the moment

 

Agreed, he is very talented. I have one of his models and it is awesome.

The frog king with litter would make a fantastic slann replacement.

 

That's a cool model.

 

Here is a lovely little Lizard Wizard with his little buddies:

This was one of the ones on my Chromebook darn it I'll get adding it to the list

Edit - at least you've done a lot of the write up work for me

 

Really loving the effort and suggestions - just wanted to request if you can try PM/Conversation them to me in future - I was hoping to keep the page as minimalistic as possible - then again i'm commenting a lot on it myself I just didn't want to end up with 30 pages on the thread and no one know what the first post was

 

Some interesting Kroxigor stand-ins.
https://www.crocodilegames.com/store/itemList.cfm?catID=26&sort=prodID

 

I'd recommend Warploque miniatures (he's come a long way since TPV). http://www.warploqueminiatures.com

He's done a lot of the zombie pirates styled miniatures, his rotting leviathan is particularly interesting http://www.warploqueminiatures.com/#!product/prd14/3900984211/undead-leviathan

Death Kiwi: http://www.warploqueminiatures.com/#!product/prd14/3446962455/death-kiwi-alpha
Arcane Dragon: http://www.warploqueminiatures.com/#!product/prd14/3634650661/arcane-dragon

 

This fire dragon would make a nice dread saurian...

... Depending on it's size...
