From AdamW: Love those tiger feet. Gluttony (27pts)

 This is my entry for the Gluttony circle of hell for Dante's Divine Comedy. 

 I originally intended to build a lavish medieval banquet and have a rather full king or knight in a chair or throne.  Unfortunately I struggled to find what I needed in 15mm, but came up with this alternative

Whilst looking through my spares boxes I came across a couple of 15mm tiger figures that were part of a Vietnam pack by Peter Pig.  They have languished in the box for many years, and I suddenly realised that there was nothing to say 'the Glutton' had to be human.

I also dug out some casualty figures that had been tossed in there as I don't usually use them.  I painted them fairly generically in a kind of green Khaki so I could use them for any side.

So there we have it, a very greedy Tiger slowly following the last survivor who is attempting to crawl away. He is the equivalent of 'one more wafer thin mint'.











Points

1 x 15mm Tiger @2pts = 2pts
1 x 15mm Kneeling figure @2pts = 2pts
3 x 15mm prone figures @ 1pt = 3pts

Gluttony bonus = 20pts


Total 27 pts

Haha, this one made me laugh, Adam! What a great take on the theme, great idea and flawless execution. 27 points it is!
