Lustrian Giant Pond Frog
So, while technically Slann can't have giant frogs as animals in WFB 3rd Ed. It seems a bit of a daft omission. They are listed in the 3rd Ed. rules and in the army book but only as part of a monstrous host. But this feels like it fits the army, so I am including it.
Anyway Alternative Armies were having a sale and the recast Vintage Asgard miniatures giant frogs seemed a good fit. Another three to paint which makes a nice little unit.
Lustrian Giant Pond Frog - (Giant lacum Rana lustrian)
'The giant Lustrian poison frog is the preferred choice for Slann animal handlers because of its aggressive nature and highly potent skin toxin. Which makes them very difficult to engage in close combat. And whatever you do don't let them lick you!'

Right choice and wonderful work! They really stand out, I think they look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWe would add: "Also avoid licking the giant frogs yourself, in the hope of gaining who knows what psychdelic powers!".
ReplyDeleteFrog-shaped beings that handle frogs: it seems perfectly logical. The choice of bright colours is perfect: have you thought about a yellow frog in the next unit?
Yes, yellow frog is next on the list.

ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed and I'd agree it's only fitting for Slann to have Giant War Frogs! Is the handler a D&D Bullywug - love the mini and the painting!
ReplyDeleteThe handler is a frogman of Barrowmaze from Ral Partha Europe.
