Nunae Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 So, back in the good old Bones IV days I backed for two packs of Nagendra. For anyone not familiar with the Yuan-Ti snake people from D&D: Yuan-Ti are a society of people with different levels of snaky-ness. The highest ranking ones have the most snake features. One kind of Yuan-Ti (the abominations) are rather well represented with the Nagendra from Bones IV, but for my 2nd set I'd like to split each Nagendra and glue them to a human torso or human legs. The good news is, they come pre-split at the waist and I didn't glue them together yet. Bad news, they seem a bit thicker than usual humanoids, so this might limit conversion options. Has anyone here tried a similar conversion or has some hints on where to start looking? I'd prefer plastic and I can't do resin prints, so files are sadly out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlylowlycook Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 You could check out the Mythic Americas line at Warlord. It's under Erewhon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunae Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 Those seem lovely, but they are metal, right? Apparently Wargames Atlantic has some plastic Conquistadores and Aztecs in the pipeline, but no idea about their quality or release schedule.

Brianuk Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 The mantic orcs might work as they've got quite pinched in waists, and separate heads.There's also the Northstar snakemen kit if you were going the other way (bipeds with human heads). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazingTornado Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 If you want to skip the conversion process, Steamforged has this Epic Encounters range of plastic minis and their Chambers of the Serpentfolk set has both bipedal and snake-tailed serpentfolk, all with incredibly prominent Aztec aesthetics. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Khan Artist Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Lucid Eye has a line called Savage Core that has some great Aztec themed metals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaganMegan Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 If you have a 3D printer, there are some good STL options too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunae Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 I always forget to answer in this thread, I'm sorry. Firstly, thank all of you for your suggestions. The Wargames Atlantic Aztecs (and Conquistadors) are tooled and are looking good, but are also quite heavily animal-themed (which comes with the territory I guess). Those Lucid Eye Publications Maxzans are really good looking, but sadly metal (which I don't want for this project because of price and the added difficulty with chopping them apart).

Got that newsletter, they are really cool. I mostly want to do the conversion bc I already own the Bones snakes and want to get some of my grey plastic into useful plastic ^^ On 12/26/2021 at 10:52 PM, PaganMegan said: If you have a 3D printer, there are some good STL options too. Sadly, no resin printer in our immediate future. And the plastic prints are just not detailed enough to hold their own vs my other miniatures/the second halves of their conversion. But yes, there is a lot of great files out there for this theme! I got a bit sidetracked due to Christmas and Advent Calendar stress and will hopefully be able to do some tests in my winter holidays. Some lightly-clothed barbarians from Bones Coresets that had no chance to ever make it onto the table on their own will probably be chopped, maybe the snake half is enough to carry the aesthetic.

Sylverthorne Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Paymaster Games might have something; they're mostly metal, iirc, but I know he has a lot of the Mayan/Aztec warband thing going on. Don't think they have any actual serpent-men, but I could easily be wrong, I haven't looked in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't bought any WA miniatures but I haven't heard anything at all about them being bad value for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
