I happened to stumble onto these and thought someone might be interested in getting some to use as Canine Remains until the real models come out. $8 for 3 is not bad at all...

There is of course also the bag of 100 zombie dogs from the Zombies!!! boardgame but they're quite small. You'd probably want to model them as small packs with 3-4 of them on a 30mm base but it could work alright. Still, you get a heck of a lot of dogs for the price.

You could always do what NerdElemental did with his teddy and make proxies out of clay... :D

Actually, I think the dogs from the Zombies!!! game are pretty much spot on for size. I use them, and the tops of their heads come up to about hip height on McMourning's Nurses, or about elbow height on Sebastian. That makes 'em taller than any canine my family has ever owned, but not ridiculously huge.

The big downside to the Zombies!!! dogs is that they're all in exactly the same pose. I've tried to get around that by a) hacking off limbs randomly, and b) doing interesting things with their bases.

I use the zombie dogs and find they are 'to scale'.

I tried using GW chaos hounds but they were way too big.

also look at how big Hamelins dog is - after all canine remains are only Ht1 models.

Well, Skorne and Elves are basically dirty, pointy-eared dogs, so there's nothing wrong in that :P
