werewolves, gnolls and bugbears - oh yes - got my vote. Would love some werewolves just covered in fur and fighting with claws and teeth and others half-changed into wolf-man form with shields and swords or axes.

QuoteHeroes (not necesarily one but an assortment ranging from gallant to rogue)
Anti Heroes (ranging from not gallant to down right naughty)
Villagers (Farmers, Smiths, Inn keepers, you know the type)
Witch Hunters, Religious Orders, etc.
Lackeys (for the above heroes and anti-heroes)

i'd vote for this too, anti-heroes including necromancers, liches, death knights (evil equivalent of a templar knight - half knight half necromancer), priests, healers, templar knights (half priest/healer, half-knight) etc

Foot and mounted packs and three stage character packs would be nice too

I am putting together a Warmaster Fantasy Samurai army.  See the trial army lists for the army selector.

Anyway, that army selector calls for Oni, Imps, Tengu, and Temple Dogs (I assume Fu Dogs). 

I've been looking for what I can use for Oni and Imps, and had resolved to use 10mm Orcs in loincloths, but can't find any.   I was thinking about 10 mm Goblins in loincloths or 6mm Goblins for the Imps.  If there are plans to make these up, I can wait a bit as I am finishing up my daemon armies.

I am planning on Sculpting my own 10mm Tengu.  If the results are OK, I will share.

I hadn't thought much about the Fu Dogs, other than considering using 10mm lions instead.

Well, before I get reproved, let me formally add my votes for:

Tengu
Oni
Fu Dogs

Leon, thanks for pointing me to the 10mm Goblins for Imps.

The Warmaster list also calls for Ronnin.  I was planning on using Samurai without a back banner.  If you have anothger suggestion, I'd like to hear it!

The faces on the Samurai apes would do well for the Oni.

I think the same!! maybe painted in red?

Of course!  I visited Mongolia -- the soveriegn country, not the Chinese province -- about 10 years ago.  I remember that in Ulaan Baatar was museum that had the "Ten Terrific Dieties".  (I think the translator wanted the word "terrifying" but didn't quite get there.)  All had red skin tones.  All were snarling.  All were terrifying ( and terrific!).

Hey Leon, Would ya need Licensing or Special Permissions to do a Classic Monsters Theme, to stock the Dungeons ? Maybe like a Universal Line- Frankenstein, Dracula, Werewolf, the Mummy Etc......... as Special Boss Creatures , or Character Driven Add ons. Say the release of Themed Dungeon Rooms, the Barons Lab ,  or Draculas Crypt ?

Werewolves and Mummies are fine as they are mythological creatures, and Dracula could be substituted for a generic vampire with nice clothes on...

I'm not sure on Frankenstein, as he was created by Mary Shelley nearly 200 years ago now, and someone will still own the copyright somewhere.

 ???  I think the Flesh Golem they made for "Ravenloft" aswell,so that would work awsome. I rekon he'd need to be slightly oversized model wise, to pack a punch, say slightly bigger than Human size. You could create some wicked scenrios, of being chased through the Dungeon,maybe rescuing a Femme fatelle or two. You could incorporate him and the Dungeon into different eras too, Sword and Firearm Eras, even pitch Monster against Monster for those classic B movie moments.  X_X

Godzilla, I know he's too big for a dungeon, but still a cool monster.
Unlike some people, I feel under no obligation to pretend that only one war-gaming scale is true, and that any others 6mm/10mm/15mm/25mm are mistaken; or that I know better than people themselves what is right for them to use. The point is precisely for all war-gamers to decide for themselves.

"Terrific" actually means much the same as "terrifying". Your Mongol museum attendants were just a bit out of date.

Boars could do with being remodelled. They look like they're either collapsing in near death or else they're some kind of giant hamster.

fred.

That is a very good point about the boars. They don't seem to be using their legs.

Hmm... I could look at converting one of the armoured warboars, take some of the armour off, and make a separate rider for them?  Wouldn't be as many to a pack though, cos they're a lot bigger.   :-\

Hello all
I am a big role playing fan and am so glad you make such great high quality figures with such a wide variety. I’ve just stared to slowly to build my dungeon and I am fully hooked! 

I would really like a treasure chest no dungeon is complete without some well guided treasure. You also have the disguiser in the form of a chest, would be good to use him in conjunction with a model like this
