Alternate Sculpts

I use extra Sgt Drake Alexanders (if playing with rotv version, use extra sotm versions and vice versa) and airbourne elites as 8th infantry Pathfinders, since I only have one and you really need multiples to be effective.

Ooh, that's a good idea. They could be used for the Civil War troops, too, for those who don't care too much about the era of the equipment.

Also, if a lack of a tail doesn't bother a person, I think Abomination is a pretty decent Zogross Hardscale proxy.

[Dad_Scaper]

Another good idea!

So here’s a picture of a Tarn, a Wrath Demon, and a Leukodaemon figure. Both demons are hunched, so yeah. The Wrath Demon isn’t a great substitute just because the official mini is yuge.

[robbdaman]

That is significant. LOL. Yet both are considered large in D&D. Will have to keep looking.

[Dad_Scaper]

Interesting. I didn't realize how small the Wrath Demon was.

That's why I don't like posting non-obvious minis in the OP, though. It's just hard to tell sizes and basing issues, without good photos.

Thanks, FS.

How does the Leukodaemon look next to Tor-Kul-Na size wise? Maybe we can get a pic of that? If they're close to same size maybe he'd be a reasonable proxy.

Looking through the customs, I think tor-kul-na or Krug would make for a decent looking zombie hulk.

Krug maybe, Tor-Kul-Na is almost twice the size of the hulk.

[brak88]

Maybe if you ignore the actual tor-kul-na riding on top they'd be a similar height/size? With the zombies having only the head as a hit zone, I don't think the rest of the body sizing needs to be all that exact.

Looking at the Miniature Market black Friday sale I was checking out the Wrath of Kings miniatures. They have the House Goritsi - Skorza Box #1 on sale right now. For those unfamiliar as I was they are a wolves faction for that game. Would make good Varkaanan alternates, while they are all unpainted so would take a little bit of effort. MM's site pic only shows the heroes in the box but their site also shows the Skirmishers.



Also the honor and trechery box which would make a good alternates for the quickblades and the three heroes. The Ashmen could make a good use for more cultists or Ebon Armor or Knights of Blackguard though they have a samurai look of them.



There is also the Skorza starter box which has a variety of good units as well.



All the little war dancers don't match much but may be good for blade dancers if need be or maybe some Achillean Gladiatrix.

There are a variety of other Goritsi though not all are on sale or clearance so may be a bit pricey. Great miniatures though if you're a painter or don't care if minis aren't painted.
