From PeteF: Skinwalkers Wolf and Bear for The Lair (30 points)

 

In Dracula's America, a skirmish/scuffle with around 10 figures per side, the Skinwalkers faction has two members who can transform themselves into beasts. This wolf and bear complete my first Dracula's America faction - one of my wargaming band has all the terrain we need so, as soon as lock down ends we'll be able test this game. If we enjoy it I like the look of The Dark Confederacy as my next faction.

I got the fur colour recipes from the excellent Painting War: Dark Ages book/magazine. Left to my own devices I would never have come up with khaki(mixed with black) for wolfskin. I like the way it turned out - but still have a lot to learn about painting fur. The horned head on the base was left over from some old GW skellies - gives it a plains feel. Next time I do a plains base I'll try and make some tumbleweed.

The beasties are a little larger than 28mm horses so I'll count them as 5 points each plus 20 for the room.
