Fenris Games Harpie. Thinking of getting a naked hasslefree damsel of some sort to be a pre-transformation harpie. A lovely lady to lure the gullible to thier doom. I know that is a cross between the siren and mermaid myths but hey ho.

Reptile Shaman
This Shaman has complete control over the Reptile Warrior. There's just something about his pose that makes me think he's controlling him. It's a bit "Jedi mind trick". He's another Otherworld mini.
His servitor is here.
Reptile Warrior
This guy is from Otherworld Miniatures, I love how he looks like a bit like a dude in a costume. His pose is deffinitely suggestive (to me) of an automoton or someone under mind control.
His master is here.
Human Wise Elder
Another Copplestone. He is father to both the apprentice shaman and the human Chief.
"Chicken Shaman"
This one is by Fenris Games. It's one of my all time favourite miniatures, a chimeric amalgamation of several different animals, I have always referred to him as "Chicken Shaman"
Velociraptors
Tamiya Velociraptors. I went with a colourful, almost psychedelic scheme for these, to add to the technicolour B-movie pulp cheesiness of the Savage Lands. There are six of them in a set for under ten bucks. Deffinitely going to re-base these guys, they are extremely unstable. I may use 2 Pences again, or larger MDF bases.
Human Chieftain
Mini by Copplestone Castings. based on a disc of MDF. I Base my figures according to thier material. Metal sculpts are based on MDF, plastic ones on 2 pence pieces, unless the mini is provided with a suitable base.
Rhino Samurai Warrior
Miniature by Fenris Games. I painted the sword as if it was made of stone because I loved the model so much that I had to include him in the game somehow. The sword is chipped back to the white metal underneath due to spousal error. I intend to re-base him eventually (or more likely carry on intending forever...) because he has a scroll topped classical style pillar fragment on his base which is a little futuristic for SL.
Savage Orc Bodyguard
Savage Orc bodyguard in heavy (wooden) armour, based on a 2 pence piece. A lot of people seem to have a pop at Games Workshop for thier prices. I don't think all thier stuff is extortionate. The kits that are over priced, are so because of thier in game value. Something that is meaningless to me the non player, so there is clearly an issue there. However, these Savage Orcs work out as £1.80 each, they're fully customisable, they come with loads of extra spare parts and I was able to build a ten man skirmish squad with plenty of character for 18 bucks, not too bad really!
This guy is one of two bodyguards for the Orc Big Boss, the Boss is here, and the other bodyguard is here.
Savage Lands Introduction
Savage Lands is a 28mm miniature narrative based role-playing/skirmish game concept I have been working on for the past couple of months. The setting is "pulp prehistoric fantasy". The cavemen are ethnically white(and look suspiciously like Hollywood film stars), there are dinosaurs walking the same ground as humans, and there is also a myriad of monstrosities that exist elsewhere, either in Tolkienesque and other fantasy game worlds, or in our own mythology.
The rules I have for whether to include a miniature in Savage Lands or not are simple. They are based purely on technology level, as represented on the miniature. Stone/bone/wooden weapons and armour are fine, whereas any metal is unacceptable. Over complex and/or highly skilled wood or stonework is also frowned upon, although if the mini is cool enough, allowances will be made! Textiles are also too hi tech for SL, animal hides being the standard attire.
Miniatures are/will be collected from many different miniatures companies, All scenery will be scratch built or up-cycled (from ornaments/charity shop junk/toys etc).
At the moment I am using the "7th Voyage" variation of the Action! rule set, but plan to play as many different systems as possible for research in to writing an eventual Savage Lands set of rules, tailored to it's setting and characters.
