Zealot Miniatures Unleash The Spined Hounds
August 31, 2016 by dracs
Zealot Miniatures have released three new dynamic Spined Hounds to hunt down the enemy and keep them out of your yard.
These three hounds, affectionately nicknamed Lurky, Sprinty and Jumpy, look to be an especially vicious set of hunters. They would definitely be at home in the back yards of an alien world.
The sculpts themselves look very well detailed and I really like the dynamism of the poses. However, they do look a little familiar in design. I guess we'll get to the kroot of the issue eventually.
What are your thoughts on Zealot's vicious hounds?

Very original. Nice to see companies coming up with their own ideas for a change… sigh.
My sarcasm detector just started beeping…
Those are some very nice original looking beasts.
Yep, original GW. 🙂
Just found my kroot hounds. Couldn’t bring myself to buy the silly GW ones, even if they were half the price.
These ones are indeed nicer minis. Just lacking in the “originality” department. The GW ones are starting to show their age now.
Oh, not-Kroothounds.
Great, are they big enough for IG cavalry?
Those don’t seem to be that big. More like size of 28mm warhound.
shame would make interesting cavalry i think.
it would appear that they have sold out already? As they were limited to 250 copies and they are no longer in stock. (…….they did really look like kroot hounds though)
If they were limited to 250 copies then no wonder that those are already sold out considering how good those look.
Yes, I went to buy six and found that out. I e-mailed them and asked when they would be back in stock. When I get an answer I will post it here.
Here’s the answer. They’re available again. Woot!
“Thanks and glad you like the new sculpts. There are some more restocked in store now. Probably will go quite fast if the first ones were anything to go by!
Will be adding the remaining 200 to the store over the next couple of weeks, no plans to do any more as it is not a line we want to delve too deep into really.”
Gone! Even the pics. C&D nonsense from the great Satan?
Gone ??? … they appear to be there now and back in stock??
Link please! I want to order two sets!
Got six! Woot! Still a few left.
Very kewl minis. If my want list didn’t already add up to the cost of a new vehicle I might be tempted to add these to it
I wanted to make a snarky comment how this is a great and original kroot hound mini but I’m well too late to the party ;P
Though I must say, it IS a very fine mini nonetheless.
Indeed, not original, but the sculpts are very nice.
Would be silly if these stay a limited edition.
This is what I envision Kroot hounds looking like. Much more lean and dangerous.
nicely done but copying that concept is jumping in the danger zone. this is not like copying a warhammer orc or dwarf which is much more generic
I am Kroot.
Blowing the digital dust off this post in case people see it, these models were part of a commission piece; hence the low production count.
