As you all probably know, Raging Heroes released a Lammasu Head that fit on their Manticore body that created a pretty cool looking Lammasu. But GW threatened legal action because the Lammasu Head looked too similar to GW’s Lammasu, so Raging Heroes decided to simply stop selling it rather than have a legal battle. Most of us have still been able to get the Lammasu head by ordering the Manticore and asking if they’d include the Lammasu head as a gift (they’re now calling it a Shedu head). I’m assuming they’ll continue to do this until they run out, however, I just received a newsletter from them and this is what it said about future releases:
"Sandwiched between these releases is a new evil Shedu / Sphinx head that you will be able to fit on your own demonic creatures as well as on our Manticore. Look for it in our next newsletter."
I’m not sure how different they’ll make it but it’s sure to be pretty cool. My guess is that they’ll make it different enough from GW’s but still be very Lammasu like. Stay tuned.
On their website they changes the Manticore’s description to say that “the other head” in the video is no longer available. Its probably all part of this move.
It is probably enough to just sell it separately as an alternate head. that is what heresy did with their blight (Plaguebearer) Heads after Gw harassed them.
at least several people were fortunate enough to get the head for free. I bought 2 of them when they were still purchasable. like 7 Dollars a piece. being the frugal gamer that I am this didn’t sit well.
Just bought one. And i'm pretty glad people stop thinking GW can't own every mythological creatures they have been using over the years.

I noticed they changed it slightly. I have the original and the only difference I can see is that mine has a nose ring and bottom tusks. The new one has a mustache and no tusks. Other than that, they're the same. I wonder if this would work with the new Bull Centaurs from FW. Head swap and used as a champion?

This head would be to massive, This is a head replacement for something like a bloodthirster.
I just bought a Raging Heroes Manticore from a seller on BT, It came with the original Shedu/Lammasu head with the nose ring and tusks…I haven’t reccieved it yet, but was wondering if its possible to magnetize both heads so you could switch between Manticore an Lammasu?, and will anyone here that already has the complete model be buying the new version head just for the hell of it?
