@amachan – As said before, 3D printing has made extreme undercuts possible by freeing designers – can’t really call them sculptors if they do it via ‘puter – from the technical constraints of a mold, producing some extremely dynamic poses, but those self-same undercuts also make painting many 3D printed figures quite a nightmare. And the extreme…[Read more]

Wargames Atlantic does good work with their plastic sets of horses and spiders for mounts. I see GW breaks from merely having horses with wolf, boar and spider riding mobs. Mantic has their brock riders as well.

And cutting them is not a problem – not that you would want to – with those little, fine-toothed saw blades they make for X-Acto knives, available at any hobby store  – assuming you have any of those…[Read more]
