At 6 inches long for $12 it's basically $2 an inch, can't get a deal like that from GW!

Anyone who plays Zerg on SC2 a lot should be able to see the immediate modelling opportunities this presents for a Tyranid player. Tyranid Nydus Worm, anyone?  Could make for a hella fun special scenario game.

Those sand worms are really cool, even if it does require adjunct Kevin Bacon mini purchase.

I think a dinosaur graveyard board would look very cool.
Unfortunately, in that link, this is the only dead dino. I'd love to see a RANGE of dino corpses. I'd be tempted to do my own graveyard.

heh, Graboid rules were some of the first houserules I ever wrote, nice to see models showing up.
It's a shame they're just being called Sandworms though, I'm pretty sure Stampede Entertainment would gladly sell a license to produce official Tremors miniatures, they're pretty cool about engaging fans like that

Yes, have to agree. I was having all sorts of ideas when looking at various terrain pieces. Dead dino + Mesoamerica... Lizardmen! All sorts of cool Ork / Orc terrain too.

Yes but plenty of dino bones exists in various sizes that could be nixed in and scattered about to make a nice graveyard.

Very true, re: Dino Bones.
I should've been clearer, I was only referring to dinosaur (non-skeletal) corpses... specifically, from this retailer (as I know of nobody else creating half-eaten Dino corpses).
I'd LOVE to see a bunch of half eaten Dino bodiesl LOL

The websight is tragic to get through, but there is a whole range of dino corpses and dinos. Same looking style.
Particularly like the Tyranasaurus.
Need to see some of these dinos with a comparison mini to see the scale, though. I have been usung the old Tamya dino kits for some time, and seeing something like this would do a lot of good in the dino market for "Lost World"/ "Terra Nova"/ "Land of the Lost"/ "Dino Worlds" gaming.
Look at the link, then follow it to the site, then scroll through it a little. Like I said, The site is hard to navagate, but there are quite a few things in there, some good, some crap.
For the crap, take special interest in the "Female Crazies and Cultists 4." Never let it be said that fat girls don't have more fun minis too.
Kudos for finding this. When and if anyone gets one, can you post a comparison shot with a mini set up next to the beast in qustion?
