building a wolverine squad

SHERFCATAZ · building a wolverine squad

hey all, i want to build a squad of rodents, but the rodents i want are not rats. my fave college football team is the Michigan Wolverines, and i want to build a squad with minis that are wolverines. has anyone seen a mini(s) that might work as a wolverine, perhaps a badger or a small bear? my experience with painting/modeling is zero otherwise i would make my own.

Sounds fascinating! Keep us posted, I will try to keep my eye out for you as well!

There is a wolverine mini in the D & D angelfire line...

and of course there is this figure...

You could do a lot worse than the Gnoll figures that this very company produces...

Team Frog (Crunchy Frog) has the Critter Commando line which has these Raccoons. http://www.teamfrog.com/images/tfsccra01.jpg

While SciFi/War Game themed you might be able to use them for conversion.

I just wish Phil had sculpted a couple more.. maybe a loooong term plan for us when everything else is done..

I bought a team's worth thinking I might use them as Slann. Started painting and never finished. I might pull them out again and see if there's anything else I can use them for. Can't remember what mix of positions I bought...I do have one painted as part of my mixed Evil generic Fantasy Football team, to be used in place of a beastman. If I ever wanted to use the CoM rules that Draco and iirc Norse came up with.

Heh, with this subject line I just had to come in and see what was up. But sadly, I don't have many suggestions for wolverine-animal-style figures; the problem I see with the Gnolls is they're too long and skinny. Whenever I finally get around to re-doing my Michigan Wolverines team, I'll still be using the multi-part humans, as they'll still be the real '97 Wolverines (I have the new set of parts for the team now, but it's still not likely to happen before the second half of next year, though, due to other projects).

All these Wolverines...I should by a team of Hawk minis...could paint them in Black and Yellow...

:p

ya i agree about the gnolls, they are a little skinny/tall for what im looking for.

hey Thadrin, you go ahead and make any team you want but if it is a Buckeye team i will be upset lol.

A bunch of nuts wouldn't make a very good Fantasy Football team.

There are a couple of badgers in reaper's dark heaven line.

Actually, it turns out that in the coming month, Reaper will be releasing an animal pack that includes a wolverine:

BTW, the two triangles on the right edge of the pic are there for scale, marking the half-inch and inch points.
