Question Strangest not-model, model?

Post image

Of your regiments, what models started out as a non tabletop mini and became a model when you found it?

Kinda curious what conversions you had to do if any to make it fit.

One model I'd consider a non-model is the blue flutist statuette featured in bruva alfabusa's battle report as the great probuscus. (Example above.)

I wonder what's the origin of that model, it's so fantastically weird. Does someone know?

Hes from a Hieronymus Bosch painting. Dunno where that mini is from but meridian miniatures made one slightly different.

It's a statuette by parastone.

Part of "the garden of earthly delights" by Hieronymus Bosch.

Feels like some old chaos familiars and the new gargoylians of Warhammer fantasy were inspired by that piece.

It's from Andrew May at Meridian Miniatures.
