Does anyone know of a manufacturer making 28mm-sized "snake-men" models? Something like the Sslyth (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440170a&prodId=prod1340010a&rootCatGameStyle=) here, only sized similar to a regular Space Marine. I'm looking to build up an Alpha Legion-themed warband using the new Crimson Slaughter 'dex, and I would like to do something serpentine for my Possessed.

I did not find any when looking once, but I did find that you can get plastic snakes very cheaply. Cut out a few inches near the tail, run a thin wire through them for stability, and glue them under the torso section of a Possessed for its lower body.

You could try these http://www.mierce-miniatures.com/index.php?act=cat&cre=dkl-kth&sou=cat#monstrous infantry

Not sure on the scale though (no pun intended)

And they're not cheap

Just had a quick look. They're actually quite big. Probably twice the height of a marine.

Still, for the Alphas, this is kinda hard to turn down...

FireHazard, that's actually almost perfectly scaled (pun intended?) to the standard Daemon Prince.

I may end up having to make a mould of some scaly texture and do the possessed using freehand milliput. I'd use the plastic snakes idea up above, but I'm worried that the jelly-rubber-ish texture won't take paint.

Reaper Miniatures has all the classical fantasy monsters, and they're SM sized or slightly smaller.

Could always just take ravenor lower halves and stick the marine torso pretty much directly on top.

I thought about that, but that's going to be a bit big, yes? I though Ravenors were on the 40mm base vs. Possessed on 25mm. Might be where I go for Spawn though.

TheCreator- Thank you! I knew I was forgetting something.
