Ducks? Really?

Well, yes. Anthropomorphic Ducks have been a staple of the Runequest fantasy world of Glorantha since its inception more than two decades ago. Seemingly the victims of a curse from some angry Gloranthan god, the Ducks are generally shunned and often unwelcome. Within the context of Runequest and Glorantha, I love them as a player character race. Others do not, and massive flame wars on places like RPG.net have sprung up over the years debating their rightful place as a player character race.

It was a few weeks ago on RPG.net that I found myself in a thread on Runequest miniatures that someone asked about Mongoose's Duck miniatures. They were released a few years back when Mongoose was going great guns with their figure lines. They were so cool I had to buy them, and I managed to paint two of them up. One of the posters in this thread, Ahrinades, asked me to post the pics of the painted Ducks, so here they are!










































These guys stand about 20-22mm tall. The details on them are exquisite. I think they might be the best miniatures Mongoose ever did. Though I do have some love for a lot of the Judge Dredd metal releases as well.

Someday I'll get around to painting the rest!
