Reaper #02763 Shrend - Alligator Man

Pewter gaming miniatures (4 copies of Reaper Miniatures #02763, "Shrend, Alligator Man," sculpted by Jason Wiebe) based on 40mm square "monster" plastic bases, painted in acrylics.  The background piece is a resin "Barbarian Longhouse" terrain piece from Grendel-Scotia Miniatures, also painted in acrylics, while the base is a terrain board made from insulation board foam (AKA "the pink stuff") coated in latex house paint, touched up with air-dry clay, and then fixed up with assorted acrylics, and assorted flocking.  Jason Wiebe is one of my favorite Reaper sculptors, and he's made quite a few wonderful "beastman" type miniatures that have come in useful for a variety of RPG settings over the years.

The original "Shrend" mini has arms and a head that are separately-cast pieces, offering some slight variety in the ways in which the parts can be attached for some semblance of alternate posing.

I originally painted these up to represent "Children of Sobek" (anthropomorphic crocodile men) for a very strange supernatural adventure in a "Pirates of the Spanish Main" RPG campaign (Savage Worlds) wherein the privateer crew visited Alexandria, Egypt.  More recently, I dug these out of a box to start refurbishing them (re-basing on 40mm round lipped bases, cleaning up "dings and dents" and such) to use them to represent "Gatormen" for an Iron Kingdoms Unleashed RPG campaign.  (They're comparable in size to the "Longchops" Gatorman mini who comes with the Unleashed Adventure Kit boxed set.)
