As my setting pushes ever further into a space western I felt like I needed some space cattle to herd around. Ramshackle Games had the perfect answer with their Dungers.
I decided to go with a bright other world scheme, thanks to Cheetor who already did his herd in turquoise. I decide on purple and turquoise as Cheetor is talking about bringing his herd over in November for Monolith-con. It would be cool if the herd's are tied together with the turquoise.
There are so many scenarios we can run with them. Get the Dungers to market, rustling the Dungers, Dunger revenge stampede for killing a calf...
...the possibilities are endless.
Here we have a civilian party heading out on a long journey with their pack Dungers.
As the dry season begins the Dunger herds migrate to the watering holes.
Though danger is always lurking in the wild...this time wolves. Next time could be a hungry hill giant.
They look brilliant . . . .and very purple!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA Thanks Riot.
DeleteSpot on with the colour choices - they feel very natural in your setting because of the exaggerated expressions and vibrant colours. I'm fond of a herding game myself you know :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Axiom! Ya I missed out on that game you ran. I might need to pick your brain about that one.
DeleteGreat colours. Every table needs Dungers.
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt and you couldn’t be more right!!!

ReplyDelete"UNITE THE HERDS"
The herd looks fantastic Grover! Its a while since I painted mine but I remember the process being fast and fun, I'm guessing that you felt similarly.
Unite the herds!!!!! Ya it went faster then I expected. I batch painted them all till I got to the teeth and claws. Then I had to break it down a bit.
DeleteThose look fantastic! I've seen them on Ramshackle's webstore and thought they looked like a lot of fun! One of these days Ill break down and buy myself a herd!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tim, you should totes treat yo self!
DeleteThey look like a lot of fun, both to paint and game with. I'm tempted to buy a small herd of them. Good work, mate!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bryan...go for it man. They would be perfect for your settings.
DeletePure genius! I need to see them in action!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Suber...hopefully sooner then later 😉
DeleteExcellent and useful. Should make for some great games.
ReplyDeleteThanks Warburton! Pretty excited to try them out.
DeleteThey turned out great Gover. With all that detail they must have been fun to paint up too. Have you decided how you'll use them yet? As defenceless cattle or dangerous fauna like Grox?
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, you should really get a move on with BOYL prep....as should we all :P
Great addition to your collection MMMMEEEECCCCCCC!!!!!!!
Thanks Erasmus...I think they can be used for docile or aggressive depending on what the scenario dictates.
DeleteI'm getting all the Boyl stuff primed this week. It shouldn't take me to long to paint everything up. ;)
They look fantastic and very cool to paint. I love the baby Dungers 😄
ReplyDeleteThanks Nico...ya nature is very dangerous for the little guys. Hopefully the herd protects them. LOL
DeleteI always liked these sculpts, perfect choice of colour!
ReplyDeleteThanks Skully! They are a lot of fun.
DeleteGreat looking figs! Also looking forward to your Noresmian nights project.
ReplyDeleteThanks commissar. Ya I'm getting really pumped for those...hoping they get here in the next few weeks. ;)
DeleteHey look who crawled out from under his rock! Those do look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA it hasnt been that long. Thanks buddy. ;)
DeleteLooking good as always. Some day I may order some of these. Orcs need cattle, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks buddy. Ya you totally should get some. ;)
DeleteHey awesome paint job as usual and your scenery is just SO great, I really love the style of it. SO unusual and really unique.
ReplyDeleteThanks Curtis. ;)
DeleteWow love them, i'am sure there can be many uses of these dungers. Need some of them for both my orcs and my chaos army.
ReplyDeleteThanks Punk. Sounds like you need 2 herds as well. ;)
DeleteI love how your colour choice shoots these through with a strong Masters of the Universe vibe.
ReplyDeleteThanks buddy! You have no idea how close that is in my inspiration here lately. ;)

ReplyDeleteThey look like they were born on your table! nice vivid colors dude! i have to grab some dungers in my next Ramshackle buy
Thanks Zeta! Yes you should totally treat yourself to some.
DeleteSpace western is fine, but we tend too often to imagine it like earth's westerns: 2 suns, hot like hell and dry like politicians' hearts.
ReplyDeleteTBH at 1st glance, the whole post made me think of those rural worlds in Asimov's stories, which work better in a snowy/western sci-fi setting. I mean... Those things have lotta fur to deal with a! hot environment!
Cold and heartless like the musk ox. I like it. 😉
