Talsin –

After browsing the marvellous internet thing i came across a miniature which made me stop, stare and just go whaaaaaaaaa....?

so, here is a little thread where you can post a pic/ link o something which just made you think, who designed that.

For your consideration, here is the first of our 'sculpts'

Oddly enough there is actually a real world story behind the soviet ape-soldiers.

Apparently Stalin (and associated insane/inane "scientists") got the idea that a human/chimpanzee hybrid would make a good soldier type of being.

They did try to create some by insemination but failed.

Let us not dwell on the exact details.

*bump*

Just thought an update was in order here as the league of justice and caeke* now has new members! The first was the Platypus mage which started this topic but now we also have a hedgehog warrior and a lemur cleric!! I think I may wait til they're all released and then buy them all!!

*i can't help it, it's how hedgehogs spell cake!
