Frog Heavy Cavalry on Toads, Eureka Miniatures by Glitterwolf

[Glitterwolf]

These maginificent minis were donated by @malefactus to add to my Lost World Project.

Eureka Miniatures ( Pond Wars Range).

 

I painted the Frog riders as Poison Dart Frogs and the Toad mounts as Bombina Orientalis ( Chinese Firebelly Toads).

I had both as pets in my youth.

 

Here is the unit, and in the latter pics on my Jungle Photobackdrop Board.

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT :

I wasn't completely satisfied with Red Frog, so a little Vallejo Heavy Warm Grey and some Reaper Sample Paint for his mouth.

Thank you all!

I used pics of the real thing for the patterns.

The Frog Cavalry look WONDERFUL all painted up. The brushwork, colors, basing, AND the photos are BEAUTIFUL. VERY WELL DONE!

It is a real pleasure seeing them finished. They would still be languishing in the Vault here.

Thx Al!

 

They are a great addition to the project.

Together with the War Turtle they will be a formidable force!

 

Looking at my pics I realized I could paint the red frogs tongue.

Will correct that later this week.

I think a simple black will do it.

Thank You!

 

They were fun!

The Frogs have a certain silliness about them which is a nice distraction from my more serious looking snakes..

Thank you!

I think the mounts are more dangerous than the frogs, I doubt if they could hit a barn with those muskets.
