So yeah, I have drank deep the elixer of AoS and been found wanting...

ANYWAYS, Im looking to get into the beastclaw raiders (derivative ogre kingdoms faction) as I am a huge fan of yetis...but I am not a big fan of the models, nor finecast...

Anyone have an idea for good alternatives? Or models as a base for conversions? I was actually looking at the VC vargulf models as a base and just sculpting a bunch of hair on them...

Ideas?

I've been looking for some alternative models also. I'm using Fenrisian Wolves for my hunter instead of sabre tusks.

Been thinking of the Darklands Trolls from Mierce Miniatures.

Yeah, I have looked into some of those but they are EXPENSIVE!!! hahaha, I have also considered running a Skal and looked at fenrisian wolves.

Since beastclaws are usually so low model count anyways, I might just end up sculpting something

What about using the Winter Troll from Privateer Press' range?

I was just looking for some Yeti for Frostgrave and there are some metal Reaper ones which I think are pretty decent:

So I ended up getting crypt flayers and started sculpting on them, they are good, the right size and they have more dynamic speedy poses for the yhetees
