I decided to do my Beast Claw Raiders army with a jungle theme instead of the normal arctic variant in order to give them a different feel. So far it is working out great, but the Frost Sabres and Icefall Yhetees don't really fit the theme. I'm looking to find some jungle cats for the sabres and big gorillas for the yhetees, but haven't had any luck finding a decent model for either. Does anyone know where I might be able to find something like that, or if you have a better suggestion, I'd love to hear that too!

Impact! Miniatures does or used to make a Gorilla/Ape team for Blood Bowl.

Never saw them in person or saw a size comparison, so can't speak to how they'll scale.

And Reaper makes a variety of animals, but you might have scale issues.

For lions/cats do an Ebay search for D&D lion miniatures. I'm sure there's something close to the right size/look.

You could also search for lions/cats/apes/gorrillas etc from Schleich or Papo on amazon etc.
They make those hard rubber, ridiculously expensive (for a rubber/plastic animals! that you give to your kids {seriously, I've spent $6 on a chicken}), you find in toy sections of stores.

Titan Forge's Bloodsail Island ogres are a good resource: http://titan-forge.com/22-bloodsail-island

Reaper's Yeti can easily be painted as gorillas: https://www.reapermini.com/search/yeti

Wouldn't a new paint job suffice (unless you don't like the models, of course - I know I'm not a fan of the yhetees)? A tiger-y scheme on the cats (there are even some on the webstore painted like this and on dry/grass bases - they look convincingly like badlands creatures) and then a gorilla-ish coloration for the yhetees? Paint the ice weapons as crude flint that they jammed some sticks into and you'd be good.

You could always grab some WM/H Gorax models, too, for yhetees. They're only a couple bucks each right now, though you'd have to do some cutting to reposition arms in order to avoid them all having the same pose.

I dig those gator riders, though.

Wow those gators would make wonderful replacements for cats! Thanks all!
