Parrots and Ravens
« on: March 24, 2011, 09:31:33 AM »
I had an idea that the birds on the shoulders of some of the Pirate figures could be more then decorative. I considered having those characters being able to "Launch" their birds to slow down attackers. With that in mind a couple of flying examples to base separately would be nice :crazy:

 :metoo: (I love this smiley.)

By the way, a monkey sounds obligatory to me, as I am always searching for "sidekicks" I can use for different purposes in the skirmish genre.

 ... maybe not for the dwarfes, as it would be the same size than the dwarfes.  :whistle:

I like this idea,  Its hard to find decent looking dogs

Would love to have a raven on a perch or one on a flying stand

Reminds me of the Ravens in the hobbit

i saw this on the Kallistra site (£6 for 3) its a giant eagle in 10-12mm so may be the right size for a parrot or raven

Or you can get them direct from Pendraken (Kallistra just repackage their sculpts and/or put them on strips) for £1.60 each, postage is 5% of order value (minimum 50p). You can find them under Fantasy -> Wood Elves
