Ah, got it!

Here's a pic showing that the Cold One isn't actually that much bigger than the normal WM Carnosaur.

Would definitely need some greenstuff over the saddle though. x.x

A friend suggested the Bloat Toad from this new sprue as a potential Slann.

I like the idea !

I was thinking that I might try using a skink priest of some type as a Slann proxy until I can get a real Slann.

Perhaps using a large Warhammer 28mm scale lizardmen stone idol behind him to make it clear he's in charge!

[jchaos79]

The concept of Pendraken figures (giant tortoise) could fit with a general of lizards. It is not the same as slann as it is not fat as a toad.

As he is sitting maybe you could do a palanquin or sit him in front the idol or something.

OK just saw this.  Can't find it on eBay as a "bit" which is a shame, but I feel this would be perfect for a character stand of lizardmen!

bits and kits. What an interesting company. I wonder if they could do the plastic units that make up BOFA?

They'd have to do:

1 x human archer strip
1 x human spearman strip
1 x dwarf strip
1 x elf archer strip
1 x elf spearman strip
1(?) x eagle
1 x goblin infantry strip
1 x goblin warg rider strip
1 x warg strip

Plus possibly the good/evil characters and the ruined buildings.

That would go a long way to recreating the BOFA set. Or letting people who already have BOFA but are missing a few items complete the set. I wonder if they have ever thought of doing that?

Don't they just buy GW kits and split them into the components, and sell the bits of the kit? Presumably at a premium, but if you only want the head of 1 elf then its much cheaper than buying a whole pack.

They could only sell the BoFA stuff if they could get hold of it, which is sort of the problem for all of us.
