In my Age of Worms game, the resident nature lover decided they wanted to find a dire snapping turtle in the Mistmarsh, for taming and such. Game mechanics are a breeze, I don't need help with that, but what I do need is a mini!
So, Lords of the Boards, where do I find a mini suitable for a burly, spiny, hellbeast of a turtle, size Large? I'm not saying its fiendish or anything, its just a big alligator snapping turtle, which makes it terrifying by default.
Any trails for me to follow?
Hmm, close, but not quite. Basically, I'm looking for a Large size Alligator Snapping Turtle. I have some spare Tyranid peices from my WH40K stuff, I might be able to cobble something together there.
I recall a line of National Geographic Animal Figurines, but I can't recall if there was a snapper in there, and the Nat Geo store didn't help me to find out.
Thanks for the thought given nonetheless!

RAFM have some cool War Turtles. I think they may be what you are looking for. In the pictures they have creatures riding them, so the scale should be close.
example:

Sorry yet to work out how to link, if this doesn't work, just put "turtle" in the search engine on the RAFM site.
Hope that helps

Reaper has a couple of dragon turtles that might work, if you put them on Large bases.
See, to me these look just about right...if you cut down the neck substantially. I think they have a very "snapping turtle" look to them.
I doubt you find anything closer, honestly, and unless you're a master sculter/converter, you probably won't be able to make better with Tyranids either.
Some links, I am too lazy to actually give them link code.... :)

You might also want to check the garden center of your local store for little "garden accents," toy stores, and stores like Michael's usually have an end cap with many many plastic animal toys that might be suitable.
