Here he is next to his masters in the Kingdom of the Great Maw!
This beautiful Sabre-Toothed Tiger was originally a PAPO toy that I've based and repainted.
The paint job is quite subtle - a blend of cream, khaki and bleached bone.
He's too long for a chariot base so I made an extended one from foam board.
This happy chappy is going to be part of my Ogre Kingdoms army - brought down from the mountains to fight alongside them. I'll come up with some kind of justification someday if I get round to it.
Rules wise, I went through Storm of Magic and looked at all the monsters arrayed there to get an idea of what proxy rules I could use. I went in the end with the rules for the Chaos Spined Best thingy without Regeneration or the spike attack for 180 points.
I looked for a while at the Rhinox and Lions as comparison but this dude is probably twice their size. He's actually bulkier than a dragon - so I felt I was justified on the choice.
Let's see how he plays out. I'm using him in my final game of the campaign turn - hopefully later this week!
Nice work, and a great addition to the Ogres. Any chance for a comparison shot with an Ogre? So off how large he is!

ReplyDeleteToys are sometimes a real cool supplement for the "real" miniatures. But I'm also curious how he scales to an Ogre.
Well wonder no more!
DeleteI've added a picture of him alongside some Ogres. He's a monstrous creature and bigger than a "realistic" smilodon but I'm happy with him.
It can really help in educating kids
