    It will make an ideal Scar-vet or Oldblood.

    Those look awesome! How do they rank up though? That tail looks like it might get in the way.

    I have these two AOW models and they are awesome... But I think that they are too small to be Kroxigors...
    They can replace very well Scar Vet or Oldblood in saurus warrior units...

    As requested, size comparison pics for that Salamander:

    You can see that the other Salamander is a bit bigger but also quite a bit taller.

    Also want to mention that the material (resin) that they used was pretty good. Not a lot of flash and no real holes or anything.

    It does get in the way slightly. I just tried it out with some saurus warriors.

    I only own the one with the great weapon option and it is a bit smaller than the current edition kroxigors (though it dwarfs the previous edition skinny kroxigors).
    I'm trying get him to fit nicely along with current edition kroxigors by...
    1. building a custom weapon which is a bit larger and weighty than the original (complete)
    2. basing him on something that gives him a little extra height (work in progress... in the sense that I haven't yet started it! :D)
    Hooray for non GW Failcast resin!

    Here you can see what I use as salamander...
    It's the baby crocodile\ alligator from schleich.

    Here's the original.

    And I also bought this guy. He's a bit smaller but we'll see how it works.

    The top one is actually taller, the bottom one is a bit smaller than a Krox, probably not the best choice for a Proxigor.

    What I'd be tempted to do if you're looking at a salamander conversion is to use a bits site, ebay, or raid a friend's left overs from a varghiest box. You can use the flesh hounds of Khorne and the wings from a vargheist to make a very impressive sail for a salamander, these wings in particular.[​IMG]
