Well, rhinomen minis.  I remember there was one from MSB toys, I think.  And a rhino-centaur from Reaper.

Actually, thinking about it, three can't really be said to be 'sprouting up everywhere'. :?

Fighting Fantasy book 2: The Citadel of Chaos.

The guard at the gate to the citadel was a rhinoman (and even warranted an entry in Out Of The Pit too).

Here's the deal:

I, Andy Foster, being of irritated mind and body, will make a frickin badgerman model if you, being of unsound enthusiasm, can guarantee me 200 (two hundred) sales of said model, assuming a price of ?3 for a 28mm scale badgerman.
You can use the special requests button to pay right now if you like, but I'm not making it until you've got me 200 sales, or ?600. If you want to buy them all yourself.
200.

I'd buy up to 3, so that would be only 197 that you'd have to buy...   :wink:

Where's the button and do we get the free postage as well then. :angel:

Only jokeing about the free postage but where is the button to pre-order. :?

When on the Heresy site scroll down in the navigation menu and click 'everything in one big list'.  Now scroll down the page there you'll find the 'Special Request' option listed right after 'Modelling Tools and Accessories'.
Just leave a note in the comments section on the order form saying something like badgerman deposit to avoid confusion.

A while ago there was a very short period of time when Wizards of the Cost made some metal miniatures (before they decided to just mass produce the single piece pre painted bendy bendy bendy plastic MageKnights style stuff).

One of these miniatures was an armoured dire badger.

Which I have.

So I'm in no particular hurry to get another one at the moment (although if everyone pesters me enough I might just get mine painted and put a picture in the other miniatures section).

I'll see if I can borrow the digital camera from my brother and sister and take a few snaps of it. Then again there was a coloured photo of a painted one on the box (it came with two dwarfs) and on the Chainmail stat card for it so I could probably scan them in for you.

Exactly. I have no intention of posting an unpainted picture of it here (although if I actualy bother to paint it I might pm interested parties a picture).
