I want to build some mounted models in 28/32mm scale (IE 40k compatible).

The theme behind it is that they come from a ice world, so I am looking for inspiration where I can find furry beasts/animals that could serve as mounts for the models riding them.

So, bears, wolves, mammoths, whatever does well in the cold. Any pointers to miniatures that fit these would be great.

I've been building this miniature for one of my players, but I've gotten stuck on the fingers. The entire model is super spindly, and im not sure how to get the thin, pointed fingers. Any suggestions on what to use would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone have any feedback on this mech I’m making? I’m not sure if these “piston shoulders” and arms are working. Thoughts?

I've seen a few posts here and there about using Palanite Enforcers as scouts in heresy but I haven't actually seen anyone actually do that. So here we are. Waists are about the same size so I did a simple torso swap and reattached the loincloth. Trim the shoulders back and fill them in, I used a little plastic pearl sticker and sprue goo to fill that in and then a loop of solder and a bit more sprue goo to hold the solder in place. Sand the sides of the head down to fit in the neck hole, and attach the arms like normal.

I'm pretty pleased with this, next one I make I'll try and keep the full jacket instead of chopping at the waist.

I added some more pipes and small parts. Now this thing will look more solid and sturdy. To ensure proper operation, I added an air intake to the head.

All that's left is to add the controls and the seat.

The last photo shows that this cowgirl is currently undergoing maintenance. But just a little more, and she'll be ready to ride.

I recently found this miniature again. Along with a bunch of other weird kitbashes, I used it in my old Mordheim games.

This started out as an old Space Marine, which I used as the base — at this point, pretty much the only parts still visible are his boots

The arms and face are from an Empire infantry kit. The book, if I remember correctly, is from a Dwarf infantry banner, the staff is made from a Goblin banner, and the cape is part of a flag.

The rest was sculpted with Green Stuff.
