Gah. I just had a visual of Little Pet Shop dogs with their big eyes advancing on their enemies. Creepy.

The little shapes in their eyes tell you what kind of attacks they have!

I know, I know. The fig doesn't scream 'mastiff ', but hey, it looks feral and ****ed (in the American sense of the word, for all you across the pond)!

If my opinion ruled the world (yes, I think it should, why?), those would be perfect!
Title: Re: Iron Mastiff Proxies for Imperials
Post by: Brother Jim on March 23, 2009, 06:47:11 PM: I think that D&D nessian warhound is a Large figure.

But I'm not positive on that.
Title: Re: Iron Mastiff Proxies for Imperials
Post by: starwarior on March 24, 2009, 02:56:14 AM: I thing that best proxy to ISC mastiff are "neo dog" from starship troppers. Sory I don't hav any photo
Title: Re: Iron Mastiff Proxies for Imperials
Post by: Trollen on March 29, 2009, 04:15:41 PM: True true, those from starship troopers looks ok for iron mastives. Here's a photo:
(http://www.iguk.co.uk/ProductImages2/FullSize/4363.jpg)

But I'm going to order from ralpartha:
(https://www.connectstores.com/ralpartha/images/01028.jpg)

And convert them a little. maybe they are not mastiffs but I find them great in my army. And they are quite cheap.

Next idea is:
(http://www.custommademinis.com/photo/F0701400/paint/warhound1_w1_295_custommademinis_com.jpg)
Warhound from Custom Made Minis (http://www.custommademinis.com) but its quite exensive (3.60 € for one)

Post by: Topkick on March 29, 2009, 05:05:03 PM: Yeah I have a few of the SST dogs....actually a few more than I need. ;) ;D
Title: Re: Iron Mastiff Proxies for Imperials
Post by: luckyone on March 30, 2009, 08:45:21 AM: I think using the starship trooper ones above woulg be easier (bases the same) but the one you plan on using looks better IMHO.
Title: Re: Iron Mastiff Proxies for Imperials
Post by: starwarior on March 31, 2009, 03:48:11 PM: Ok let see. We got the picture off Iron Mastif and some info in book about Imperial from RPG.

(http://liniafrontu.pl/galerie/duze/806_1_21.jpg)

Any other idea?
Title: Re: Iron Mastiff Proxies for Imperials
Post by: luckyone on March 31, 2009, 06:02:16 PM: Pictures in the book do not always equal descriptions/back stories. I think any of the above will work. Depends upon what you nac get and how much converting you want to do.

Have you seen the Vendel Miniatures Mastiffs? they work out at £1 each and come in quite nice poses...

Title: Re: Iron Mastiff Proxies for Imperials
Post by: Veez on April 10, 2009, 03:43:39 AM: They look nice, but for us poor cheapskates in the US it's 1 pound sterling for the figure and twenty for shipping!
Title: Re: Iron Mastiff Proxies for Imperials
Post by: luckyone on May 21, 2009, 08:35:55 AM: Those would work nicely also. Thanks for sharing.

Having raised old english mastiffs in real life. ( I had up to 15 at one time, all national and international champions) these are defintely the closest for Old English mastiff.
What is pictured in MC is closer to either a Neapolitan mastiff (with cropped ears) or a rare Bandog mastiff

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mastiff_Type_Breeds (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mastiff_Type_Breeds) pics of neapolitan and others
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandog) A bandog

As for the scale they are in the 28mm section.
Think illl be trading in some of the SST figs ive been using for those.

Post by: micmellon on May 05, 2012, 12:17:10 AM: I like the dog. If you take a closer look you can see the dog is a machine or at least technical enhanced.

This dog looks just like I imagined the Iron Mastiffs.
