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.

40mm Animals - for skirmish/adventure games ...

I have plenty of domesticated animals for 40mm games: horses, chickens, geese and a pack of hounds

plus a herd of cows - handy for a raiding game .. missing some sheep though....
Wild animals - wolves, stag, bears and a fox...
If you go up into the Sackwald forest larger and more exotic animals may be found; large lizards and snakes...
if you go further up and further in you may encounter a dragon or two ....

All the above useful for games; wild and exotics useful for hunting and adventure games. More could be added, so best to work to a scenario and get them as needed ...
