The Running of the Birds

It’s all gone to the birds!

The Saffron tribes head to market.

The high plains of Locust 5 are home to several species of large bird-like creatures. Some are good eating, some have been tamed for carrying goods, and others are even large enough to ride. Regardless of how they are used, they are a vary common sight on this world.

I’ve owned these minis from Parroom Station for years. I purchased them at either Gencon or Origins in the mid 2000’s back when I played a lot of RPGs. I thought they’d make a great alternative to horses. I used them here and there, but they just stayed bare metal throughout those uses. I finally decided it was time to paint them up!

The feet started red... but it was too much. 

I based them on a few pictures I found of the dodo bird. It was exotic enough to not just be an ostrich or an emu. They’ll probably end up mainly as objectives, or background minis… but I’m happy to have them done and available for proper use now! 

Tried to vary the colors on the goods.
