So at last my Predator hounds came today. I excitedly opened them to find that I have been sent puppies that I need grow to make them into fully fledged hounds.
They are bloody tiny! So to make sure I hadn’t imagined it I just watched the scene on YouTube and although there is no direct comparison next to a human, they definitely look bigger on the screen.
Have a look and see what you think…
So to make sure it wasn’t the tall predator making them look small I put them next to a Wey Yu Commando…
Nope they still look small, both are in rearing poses so they look quite tall when stood on boxes etc.
As there is a dead Wey a Yu Commando on the base I thought I would compare him. I reckon Wey Yu are accepting child soldiers into the elite…
Just look at the difference between the two hands. The unpainted one is closer to the camera.
I managed to just about compare two heads, apologies for the naff photo, the Ipad was struggling.
I reckon there is near enough a 50% difference between the two.
All in all I am somewhat disappointed in these… I hadn’t realised that when I got them for half the average price that they would be half size! The only reason I got them is because they were cheap!
On a more positive note…
I finished the Hussars and the bases on the commandos.
Tomorrow I will clean up the hounds and get them painted, not that I want to, as they are evidently hunt chihuahua. Luckily they don’t appear in my Aliens RPG… knowing my players they would want to pet them and snuggle them.
They do seem a little small- normally ranges suffer from scale creeep and shrinkage… wonder what the cause was.
Cheers,
Pete.

Cheers Pete, yeah generally scale creep goes up the way, it would have been better if they were too big. I feel like I need an extra half dozen just so that I can bring down a man sized target 😂

They do look bigger in the film! Got two chihuahuas here if you need to borrow them, although they’re both fast asleep at the moment! Hussars are looking good! 🙂

Put some horns on them and see how they look 😂

Annoying to say the least, all the more so as you were looking forward to doing them.

Just a bit of a bummer, I went for these ones as they were unicast, meant no faffing on glueing bits together.

Shame about the puppies not being what you thought they would be.
The Hussars are looking great though, if that makes you feel any better?

Thanks Jenn, just a bit miffed about the size of them. I will paint them up and see how I get on with them then.
