Dogs of War

im looking to make some rinox rider for my ogres
looking for a toy to scale of open for other ideas

Didnt forge world make rhinox riders?
It's a fine way to blow some gold dabloons arrrrr!
But with your nautical theme maybe you could do something different like... Giant mermade creatures or Kraken Riders!
Get toy squids and mount up some scurvy ogres yarrrr!

Go to a toy shop or suchlike and buy plastic rhinos

Early Learning Centre (if you have that in the US)
Zoo animals (Britains Toys, again, dont know if you have it over there)

i found them super big or two small so far !! might have to journey to the big city
but i like your thinking iron lord

Relatively easy to find. Do they necessarily have to be Rhinoxes? I've often thought some Rhinox-riding Maneaters who had served the dark elves riding giant cold ones/carnosaurs would be awesome. In that case you could use an appropriately sized dinosaur.

sorry for not repling back
i though of using the krug beast from reaper !!
its in my price range

well like a woman i change my mind again !!!
im using a scrap launcher rinox starting tomarrow

theres a famous german company, i cannot remember the name now, that makes really nice animal models in a perfect scale for warhammer, they are available here (aus) at kmart or toys r us and are surely available in the states, reasonably priced too I think. looking on yahoo for them and their name is Schleich, should be available at toys r us according to the net

whatever you decide get some pics up either way!

Target has rubber animals, I used 2 rhinos for my rhinox riders, the big ones are a good scale for bulls, the little ones might be good for normal size

Do you plan on using them a Rhinox or Bull Rhinox? cause the one in the scraplauncher kit is a Rhinox, goes on a 50x50mm base and is cheaper but with lower stats and fear not terror, you need something bigger to fill up a chariot base if you want it to represent the Bull Rhinox variety.

well im working on it now !! i may try the bigger one latter but the rhinos still seam to me to be out of scale but i might go to target check it out thanks

Are you using GS to make them hairy or are you buying Wolly rhino models?

well if probably be a rhino and i will add hair !! im good at making thing hairy

Just tell the male rhino that he'd look better with longer hair..

Use elmors glue and static grass to make the furry look, but leave the head, neck, and ankles bare.

Here is a picture of my homemade rhinox riders for comparison

I started converting giant wolves for 40k, and one of the ideas was a mage knight giant wolf (about $1 or $2 on eBay). I forgot the proper name, but they were way too big for cav bases, but just about right for 50x100mm, and a little green stuff (which I know you are familiar with) would give you a good start on them.

Nice Brontotheriums (yes, I'm that kind of geek)

A geek? Here? You gotta be kidding me! I thought this was the cool, popular kids' club! Oh man...

great job but to me they look a little big but there still cool

** B. R. is a geek
lol yep !! I Glade Girls can't be a geek

Well they ARE bull rhinoxs, the base they are standing on are the correct size, and thier heads protrude only a little bit

Kyte did some cool work on the Ogre Stronghold on this, pop over there and have a look

Yea I wanted to post a link to the tutorial he setup over there, but it seems to be gone.
Anyway Its an awesome instructional, maybe he can post it again.

Picked up a plastic toy rhino.

Sawed it in half to shorten it (remove part of the mid section.)

Used balsa to re-connect, then plumbers' putty to fill.

Will keep you informed as I progress.

In the mean time, my forgeworld ones :

i have one in the green phase
and made one smaller for a gnobler
i take some picture soon

They look great.....allways loved the rhinox riders. If I collected orcs I would definitely put them on these beasties. NIce work!
