Here are a couple of gnolls: one originally by Rieder Design and now sold by Alternative Armies (as a "dog man") and the other by Essex. The latter (with the sword) may have a certain iconic status to readers of a certain age, as he was a regular feature of adverts in White Dwarf.
Very nice work! I have a few of the Essex ones so interesting and useful to see how compatible they are with the Rieder/Alternative Armies ones.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'd say they're as compatible as anything out there. The Rieder sculpts are a bit more sophisticated - especially this guy with the Lochaber axe and another one with mace and shield. But they share a stockiness and general bulk with the Essex ones. I'm putting together a unit that will incorporate Citadel, WotC/Chainmail and Ral Partha gnolls as well as these guys; I reckon the creatures of Chaos (as they were in original D&D) can cope with a bit of variety!
