scipio.au Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Hi all, My wife recently finished painting an older miniature that I bought her years ago. It's basically a "Water unicorn", but I'm trying to ID it before posting pics (so I can post it nicely as a finished, painted model, rather than as a "please ID this figure" post. I was hoping that some of the D&D experts here might be able to tell me the D&D name and perhaps the "Reaper Miniatures" name of such creatures so I can find and ID the model. I'm not 100% sure it's a Reaper model (it's pretty old) but it's either Reaper or possibly Ral Partha. I don't think it's old enough to be Grenadier, but who knows? many thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegascat Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Yep, that was my guess as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kheprera Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Really kind of helps to see the mini. We can guess, but "water unicorn" sounds like a narwhal and I don't recall Reaper nor Ral Partha making such a mini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLZeebub Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Perhaps a ki'rin? Chinese unicorn. Looks more like a seahorsy-lion than an equine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scipio.au Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Hmmm. seems to be something different. Hippocampus (according to google images, anyway) seems to have the hindquarters of a fish. The model I have is best described as a horse-bodied Unicorn (including mono-horn), though with scales. Perhaps a ki'rin? Chinese unicorn. Looks more like a seahorsy-lion than an equine. Thank you! That's it.It's this model (not hers - I'll photograph hers and get it up later today or tonight.) Now I just need to ID the manufacturer (and possibly the sculptor)Thank you all so much for taking the time to help. Gotta love this community!...and here we are. Thanks eBay!Ral Partha KI-RIN 02-951Not a worry mate - I appreciate the help either way. :) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuldGrump Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) Heh, and here I was wondering if someone had done a miniature for the Ech-Ushkya. (An Irish horse monster that used to pose as a pony, then drown anyone silly enough to try and ride it. Like a phooka or a kelpie, only nastier.) The Auld Grump *EDIT* I immediately recognized the Ral Partha Ki Rin... go me. Edited October 2, 2015 by TheAuldGrump 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Auld Grump *EDIT* I immediately recognized the Ral Partha Ki Rin... go me. I think a Nightmare figure, suitably painted, would work for a Ech-Ushkya.... I as well, as I have that figure, still unpainted..... As well as Ral Partha's other Kirin George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
