[Gunless Ganger]

Saw this interesting alternative model posted on TGN:

I'm not a real fan of the GW model, due to its retarded material and size. However it does look better than this outing, still this one probably only will cost 3/5th of what GW ask.

[Leogun_91]

I like neither.

[Urgat]

I don't like it either

[Spiney Norman]

Actually I quite like this one, and it is considerably cheaper, I might consider it as a second mangler given that I already have the hideous and overpriced GW one.

[zoggin-eck]

I don't really like either. Hate the GW faces, but these guys have creepy legs!

I'm a bit bored with obvious GW stand in models. I'd rather just go a similar sized, but totally different, monster model to substitute.

I'm waiting for Warplock Monkey to release his second death kiwi, and that'll be my manglers

Mmm... Am I the only one who thinks the GW version is really good looking?

nah, there's a few people like you, but usually they hide (just kidding ). GW's manglers have way too tiny legs, and these ones have way too big legs. Looks bad in both cases, imho (well the GW one is a crisp model nonetheless, this one is crude as hell. I sure hope it's cheaper >>).
I'll no doubt get the GW one eventually, but that's because I'm a compulsive greenskin collector.

I like my mutated tomatoes more

A mate of mine makes these:

Both the mangler and the regular squigs (there are 5 different squig poses).

ATM he's just selling to friends, but the reception has been quite good, so they'll probably end up somewhere.

PM if interested, he'll probably love some international interest

Those are way better than the ones in the OP post, but still not how I want my squigs

Not keen on it personally. Looks pretty much like the GW one, except worse because he forgot the chain that holds them together.

You can get some cheap jewellers chain for that. I like them.

There is a binding chain and a couple more flying gobbos and chain bits.

They're not on the prototype, though. I'll take pics of mine once it's painted.

Fair enough point. Consider my last comment withdrawn.

Not a big fan of these leeching manufacturers in general. If we place any value in this hobby at all we should actually be loyal to GW as far as possible (fine, a detour here and there perhaps.. but on average!) and the alternative models on page 1 are not 'better than the original' to a degree that would make me concider them over the official models.

Well if GW did not overprice certain units people would less likely sell alternate versions. Also if it wasn't for people making alternatives GW would be able to overprice things even further. If the two products are similar price & quality then yes I'd probably buy GW model, but if I feel something is overpriced then I don't see anything wrong with using alternatives.

Those do look nice too!

I like the swarm of them all together. What are they cast in?

Resin. Original sculpt in greenstuff.

Wow, those are amazing. If he decides to start selling those to non-friends please let me know.

[Mr Ogre]

Wow.

It's as if someone has just decided to abandon all attempts at creativity, and just pinch someone elses ideas...
