They seem a bit weak, let me beef them up a bit? With no grey one ( @undertaker ) to stop me we can have some fun with super Killy stuff! Balance be damned! 😀
Count me in on making some

 

[=][=SW1=][=]

Hmmm ... So I've already started to make terrain for this.

 

[Punktaku]

Dooo. Eeeet!

 

[=][=SW1=][=]

So where does one source troll heads? 🤔

 

[MedMos]

Mad Robot Miniatures!

Mad Robot Miniatures!

Think I need to get some for putting on pikes. 😜

 

[Ardavion]

Troll Heads [HH-85] - $5.00 : Mad Robot : We Likey Minis!!

Mad Robot Troll Heads [HH-85] - 6 troll heads, including a king! Cast in resin, this product is sold unpainted and should be washed in cool, soapy water prior to painting.

[Stoof]

I don't think Mad Robot could have imagined how many people would want to buy troll heads after doing them as a one-off job 😂

 

[DarkMouse]

Western Themed 40k terrain would be cool but not essential.

Vehicles / Mounts will be making an appearance but we are thinking only a couple of tables will be dedicated to vehicle combat.

Would mounts be small enough creatures to be able to traverse 'normal' (whatever that is) tables?

Just for...planning sake.....yes

 

[Stoof]

"Mounts" (inverted comma based foreshadowing there) will be small enough to fit on "normal" tables such as those used at TM22, however they will primarily be intended for more open tables we're planning. Trucks and stuff will only be on the bigger/more open tables on the basis you'd have a hard time navigating most tables with them.

Not everyone wants to model mounts and trucks and stuff so as per the last time we did vehciles "regular" games will almost certainly be fought without vehicles/mounts, and people that brought them can break out onto the open/bigger tables for that particular flavour of carnage.

It's still early days and things are subject to change.

 

[DarkMouse]

I feel like 'Mysterious Strangers' turning up randomly in people's games to cause havoc should be a thing too.....damn the idea was I didn't have to make too much by next year.....

Well, I tried!! My reporters never rolled the activation required to become a nuisance on the battlefield!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

The one thing that really annoys me is that there isn't a decent werehorse model out there, or an otherwise good approximation to Thirty/Thirty, without having to do some serious converting.

Beastmen don't have the right stature/height. Most models with the right upper frame don't have the right legs, and horse heads don't fit a human head well without a certain quantity of green stuff.

It’s always going to be a conversion project there. You have to find your horse head and then an appropriate body for them.

Goliaths and CGC seem a good bet if you want a Necromunda look.

Failing that you need a Minotaur mini and headswap.

Or a @Mad Robot

 

[Tiny]

werehorse

Great, now my Scavvies need a BoJack Horseman mutant. Work, work, work.

I guess the colour scheme will be pretty easy to decide on!

 

[ClockworkOrange]

Now you mention it I always thought that was more orange than red 🤣

 

[Mad Robot]

The hell is wrong with you people? Now you want horse heads? 😂😂😂

What’s next…centaurs…?

I had a thought on remembering a long time ago you doing a Yak bounty hunter model that might have been a good base, but it has to be either a figment of my imagination or a one-off reward for the winner of a TribeMeet, as I can't see anything like it on your website.

The closest base model for a Thirty/Thirty conversion might actually be Gor Halfhorn off of FW, but £22 to cut up and throw away the majority of the model seems excessive.
