Khurasan Miniatures: Upcoming Salamen Heavy Cavalry Previewed


Khurasan Miniatures: Our Salamen, amphibian fantasy warriors, are very popular but their great plains cousins, the Savannah Lords, never really took off. I think they were ill-conceived to be brutally honest -- crocodile men riding wooly rhinos. In order to give the Salamen some knight-like alpha warriors, we've done a dramatic redo of the models, so they will now be the Salaman Bullnewts. As mounts, rather than the wooly rhino, they will ride small, bad tempered ceratopians called stampedosaurs. (I say "small" but they are in fact much larger than even the wooly rhinos.)



The wooly rhinos aren't going anywhere, though -- they have had some plastic surgery to make their faces slightly less cartoonish and will now serve as mounts for caveman elders with spears. There's also an enormous steppe mammoth with some caveman youths chucking things down from its lofty back! The steppe mammoth was (probably) the largest proboscidean, making modern elephants look like dogs by comparison. All coming in 2016....
