Clewz Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Can anybody recommend any model alternatives for flesh hounds? The current ones are way too cartoony and a little pricey for what they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheex Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Can I ever! Here are two recommendations that I have personally used. First is the Puppetswar Barghests, which come in a pack of either 5 for €25 or 15 for €60: http://puppetswar.eu/product.php?id_product=260 These are amazing sculpts, but are limited to only three poses, and the casting (at least in my batch) is a little average. Just beware that you'll need to buy bases separately. Once they're cleaned up, though, they look absolutely fantastic. My second suggestion is Heresy Miniatures' Hellhounds, which currently cost £4 each if you go with a random selection of poses: http://heresyminiatures.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_10_44&products_id=85 These are fun sculpts. I don't think they're quite as good as the Barghests, but they still have plenty of character. They're a bit smaller than GW hounds, but certainly still work. Only four different poses available, and, being metal, they can be a pain to assemble. I've purchased plenty of each of these (20 Barghests, 32 Hell Hounds) and can't recommend them strongly enough.

Castellan Cato Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 GW Fantasy Dire Wolves from the Vampire count line can work, but they're a bit nurgley/undead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clewz Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Cheers guys, think i might go with the direwolves option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozo69pd Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I use the dire wolves from fantasy as my beasts of Nurgle and the Chaos hounds as my Flesh Hounds. Now I just need a big Flesh hound that matches to be Karanak >.< he's so good now with causing perils all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoomulusPrime Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I also use Chaos hounds as me Flesh Hounds, and I use an Avatars of War Netherhound as my Karanak. He fits in quite well, as they have a very similar aesthetic. One thing that's problematic about him is that there are some very large gaps, and the feet of often bent at such an angle you need to have his hind legs standing on a rock or some other raised part of the base. However, if you do this, it helps it look more imposing anyways.... A pic of him from the AoW site: http://www.avatars-of-war.com/eng/web/images/minis/aow14/aow14.png And a pic from google showing the bend in the feet: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VFkbAjJ9_LI/SlKnNxNq9XI/AAAAAAAABPQ/U8L46lHoii8/s320/Posture+Comparison.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
