    Its very possible! and please elaborate ? :D

    My hurdle right now is that I cant seem to find a supplier, who is willing to put these guys into production without asking laughable prices.
    I would like a set of all 4 to go for around 45-50$ ...but the guys ive reached would push that price into 100$ for me to even break even.
    If ANYONE knows a good supplier who would be willing to help out, please send him/her my way.
    I am getting quite serious about opening my own miniature shop. (working on a Beastman lord right now)

    I actually thought of that use too (as KoW is still my fail-safe if 9th Age turns out to be deadwater :D)
    I hope to get them into production soon!

    I probably wont be making riders though, as I would like them to be Saurus Riders, but for GW IP reason, I cant.

    how freaking kind of you!
    No need though, I have a friend I know has a couple he never uses, will just borrow from him.

    Besides....sending to denmark is freaking expensive -.- , will need some deal for shipping these fellas.

    I'm sorry, Phat! I only now saw your thread! :(

    They look awesome! Very impressive that you just learned the software and are already developing and designing at this level!

    They kinda remind me of this guy off "Avatar":



    I can envision them working in a similar fashion.

    As for the rules, something off the top of my head would be to give them KB on the charge, representing them moving in a blinding speed and striking quickly and deadly. I'd probably write their stats something like this:

    M:9, WS:4, BS:0, S:5, T:4, W:3, I:4, A:3, Ld:5

    Special Rules: Blending into the Shadows: (As long as the unit is behind Hard Cover, they cannot be targeted by shooting attacks or magic missiles.), Cold Blooded, Fear, Predatory Fighter, Savage Pounce (Killing Blow on the charge), Scaly Skin (5+)

    Cost: Maybe 65 points - ?

    I think that would represent their quick, stealthy movements and their ability to hit hard, but frailty once they get stuck in combat. And basically ridden by Temple Guard equivalents.

    I'm super excited about these! I want a set regardless if they are picked up by any rule set or not! I think it is a marvelous idea and one that fits well with the Lizardmen army! Great work!

    And, yes, you deserve several Spider-Men! (A true mark of greatness!) :spiderman::spiderman::spiderman::spiderman::spiderman::spiderman:

    Terribly happy C-Lips :D
    Especially as you seem to have caught on the concept quite well :D
    Had'nt even thought about that avatar "cat". I always loved that one especially, so cant deny it being in there on a sub-conscious level :p
    (they ARE meant to act as a pack of hunting cats)

    What you have written is not too far away from what I am writting.

    There will be terrain-interaction
    They will have killing blow under some circumstances

    This could basicly be a a re-write of my initial idea...they WILL be mounted by Temple Guard equivalents :D

    Lets just say I think you will find it quite close to your expectations :D

    THANKS FOR SPIDEY APPROVEMENT

    struggling with finding a supplier.
    They guy I was talking with suddenly decided to cut contact.

    In his defence he could be dead :p

    Found a new lead though.

    Is there a reason for that speculation? ;)

    That appears to be sound reasoning to me!

    The guy is obviously not very much of a professional... your works deserves someone better.

    Regarding the casts, will you include a saddle with the sculpts?, it's far easier to convert a rider to a saddle than it is to make a saddle.
