Sourcing animals for 40mm...

 Tricky to find animals suitable for 40mm...some larger ones from 28mm usable..

  • Over the years I've added animals as I found them. Most of them are plastic toys and come from Car Boot sales, Toy & Train fairs and Charity shops.  I just picked up bags of oddments, took out the animals which were the right size, then donate the remainder to charity. 
  • Wolves - these are from Sash & Saber 40mm Napoleonic range ..  code 40RFMX1
  • The Hounds - these are model railway O gauge scale 1/43, which I picked up at a model railway exhibition along with a fox.
  • The White Stag is a Britains zoo animal - a deer ( a bit oversize, but OK).
  • The giant lizard and large snakes are from Otherworld Miniatures (codes WE4b & WE17a)
  • The big dragon is an old Ral Partha one, which I assembled and modified slightly. The small dragon is a Papo toy with the 'fire breath' removed.
