May I present: The Cat-Ogre

Wow, I like the style of this mini. Here is the idea behind:
------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll cut off the Axe and convert it with some Teambadges. My skaven-team the "Eshin Equinoxers" brought that Big-Guy home from far Cathay. He is a real basher and a great threat to all enemies.
--BUT--
...it would be absolutely funny to give him 'Always Hungry'. It always happens when his instincts take control!!! :lol:

I already ordered one, 'cause it's just too much fun to have a Cat-Ogre in a team of rats.
I think he will be called Tom and one of my linemen Jerry. :roll:

Excellent... and in addition to the Always Hungry how about adding something akin to the THRUD's Fans rule, where there's a chance he'll turn on his teammates. :)

That's a sweet fig.

Could you please be a little bit more exact... I don't know what you mean. Are there pictures of Phills Desert-Dogs ???


QUESTION:
-------------
Are there any other Cat-Warrior Miniatures from other publishers. If I find enough, I would probably try to make up a whole team of cats!!!

Nice model ... quite big looking at the human heads dangling from its belt :o

Looks a bit Kilrathi to me ... now who remembers those? :wink:

Absolutely right, it's about 60mm.

@ Kilrathi:
Officer: "What the hell was that thing flying across???"
Shipmate: "That was our wing, Commander" *salutes* :P

Some people may remember that my avatar was a Kilrathi before the great purge of 2003.
In fact my handle - Furelli - was my pilots name when flying in Wing Commanders 2 and 3 - Zack 'Furball' Furelli.

Furelli.

I searched the Reaper-Site but this was the only one I found.... :cry:

He is absolutely cool, but I would need many more to build up a whole team. Also Fenryll-Miniatures has none in their range.

@Phigs-Desert-Dogs
Not the style I'm searching for, but a good concept it is... 8)

"They got the cats, but they miss the players!!!"

All their cat-range is not useable as a team. :(
