Title: Redwall/mossflower proxy figs?
Post by: ryman1 on 24 March 2013, 06:44:21 PM
Hi,

I'm toying with the idea of starting a project based around the characters of this popular fantasy book series, it's set in the english countryside and is full of armies of mice, badgers, rats, weasels,crows etc.
I think the league of ratsburg might cover a few characters, if anyone else has some ideas about what can be used it'd be good to hear them.

cheers

The Ratsburg and regular Rats are going to be the only options for mice and rats, but they should work OK with some different paintjobs.  The other animals are going to be tricky though, I'm not sure what to suggest for those.  A swarm of bats could maybe be done as a swarm of crows instead?

Cheers Leon, will take a look over the ranges.

I reckon it's going to have to be miliput on the hobbits.

You might get some mileage from the gnomes, they have a certain "small mammal" look about them to me, especially the lancer and sword without shield:
