Title: Wardogs
Post by: ianjgow on 14 November 2013, 01:03:30 PM
Does anyone know of any figures that can be used as wolfhounds or any other type of wardog suitable for 10mm Fantasy?

Cheers!

The wolves in the goblin range are fairly small, so would work for hairy dogs

There is a Russian bomb dog in WWII Russian engineers pack

And there may be a dog in the Veitnam range, unless my memory has got to the stage of just making things up

Indeed! Welcome Mr Ianjgow. Are you perhaps of Eastern European origin?

You might also look at the zombie dog. Even if you don't use it for a war dog, it's well worth looking at.

I just ordered 2 packs of wolves for my barbarian horde but unfortunately they won't do as wolfhounds.

agreed it would work well with minimal work and the right paint job.

I agree - look too "woolf-y" especially around the tail.

Anybody got any pics? Don't want the hounds to look too "woolf-y"

There's also the FHD11 Dwarf mounted with spear, which is a two part casting.

Luddite posted a picture on his blog http://luddite1811.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/pendraken-dwarves-review.html (http://luddite1811.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/pendraken-dwarves-review.html) and there's also the one on the Pendraken website.

They should be ok with the fantasy ranges, although they might come up a bit on the large size next to the historical ranges.

Cheers,

An alternative - but not one to be entered into lightly - can be found in the Eureka 10mm fantasy range (in the pack of with wood spirits, a unicorn and a god of the hunt type figure).

I use them as Irish wolf hounds.

Traitorous to post them here I know but as most of my Arthurian stuff is Pendraken, I hope I'll be forgiven...  :-\

Sorry for the late reply! Song of Arthur and Merlin is my preferred Arthurian skirmish game.
