finally uploaded some photos to my MyAlbum photo album so thought I would share some photos with the members here. I have posted some of these previously on the Facebook HotT Group page, but not here. My apologies to those of you here who have already had to endure these before.

Here are some photos of a 15mm army I painted based around The Jungle Book I painted for a friend. I used the books and Disney movies and the Netflix movie Mowgli as inspiration.
There are several sabot base so a couple of the characters can be used for different element types. These are indicated by the use of a forward slash /

Mowgli and Friends

Mowgli - Hero
Baloo - Behemoth
Bagheera – Paladin/Hero/Beast
Raksha & Akela - Beast
Wolves - Beast
Kaa - Lurker/Sneaker
Elephants - Cleric
Rhinos - Knight
Brahminy (Kite) - Flyer
Buffalo – Horde
Various smaller critters (pig, squirrel...) – Horde

Jungle Book - not so friendly...

Shere Khan and Tabaqui* - Hero
King Louie - Behemoth
Hunter - Shooter
Bees – Lurker/Flyer
Grey Monkeys – Warband
Monkeys (Louie's helpers) - Horde
Fire Red Flower) - God
* Tabaqui a golden jackal can also be use on another base as a sneaker.

The whole collection -

Just for understanding where did you get most of the minis from? I really like the Kaa mini wrapped around the tree. (also shouldn't he be on the 'bad' team??)

Thanks!

Kaa is one of my favourite miniatures in the set. He is from Ral Partha Miniature UK and is sold in a set of snakes. In the books, he is a friend and trusted mentor or father figure alongside Bagheera and Baloo.
My friend who owns this set is a big fan of the Disney movie versions, so he may well be reassigned to the opposite team.

This is a list of the different ranges used to make the armies.

Mowgli - Irregular Miniatures African child
Baloo - Copplestone Castings.
Bagheera – Splintered Light Miniatures
Raksha & Akela - Copplestone Castings
Wolves - Copplestone Castings
Kaa - Ral Partha Miniatures UK
Elephants - Xyston Miniatures (adult) and Safari Toys Good Luck Miniature (baby)
Rhinos - Irregular Miniatures
Brahminy (Kite) - Games Workshop Battles of the Five Armies
Buffalo – Irregular Miniatures
Various smaller critters (pig, squirrel...) – Langley aminiatures and Irregular Miniatures

Shere Khan and Tabaqui* - Peter Pig tiger and Irregular Miniatures jackel
King Louie - plastic toy from a zoo.
Hunter - Essex 15mm
Bees – Scratchbuilt
Grey Monkeys – Magister Militum 10mm Armed Apes
Monkeys (Louie's helpers) - Magister Militum 10mm Armed Apes

Fire Red Flower) - Scratchbult

I hope that helps.
