As per the topic - are there any good sources of 54mm 1:35 or 1:32 animals?
Especially cats, dogs, birds, etc.
We see a lot of humans, mutants, etc, but I've realised there are very few animals, except for cybermutts and/or servo skulls.
Thoughts?
There are a few critters available from www.heresyminiatures.com (http://heresyminiatures.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_12_51), including big spiders and slugs, and the waspquito which would be a great psychneuin.
I've never seen them in the flesh, but Tamiya do some 1/35 dinosaurs, including velociraptors (http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/list/35dinosaur_world/html/60105.htm).
Lastly, ebay is a rich source of Britains farm animals (http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xbritains+54mm+animals.TRS0&_nkw=britains+54mm+animals&_sacat=0).

I've found a few other sources, as well as those, but so far no luck.
Most of what's available, especially in the avian or mammalian variety is rather lacking in detail and/or decent posing.
I'm digging through historex, but unless I want to get a 54mm american indian crow warrior there's not really any sources of our black feathered friends.
some of the fantasy range works?
i made a hunting lizard for one of my characters, http://www.the-conclave.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=661.0
I remember seeing that sort of thing a couple times.
It's sort of tempting, but I'm really wanting to grab some classic feline, canine, or avian models so that they can be subtly altered in as creepy a manner as possible.
However, it looks like the only thing left is for me to learn how to sculpt, which isn't my forte at all. :(
there are these animals as well.
(i haven't bought any animals, but i have bought other stuff from the website)

One I have looked at using a couple of times is the range of animals from Schleich. They are similar in size and not too bad detail while being reasonably priced. I was looking to use a couple of the horses a while ago for a mounted version of my inquisitor (Felix) but have the horse but haven't done the conversion...

forgot about schleich, i have a rearing horse for use as a statue, as you say, the detail is ok on some of their stuff.
Are the dogs in scale?
If so that would be one nice source.
Just leaves cats and birds :)

:D
Nice one on the cats.
I'm not sure if waterfowl will entirely fit - although the idea of an MIU linked goose is amusing!
E:
And as a nod to the wyrd with a spider thing from the legacies game I read about, what about a wyrd who can control animals in general?
Like dogs, cats, geese, ducks, seagulls, grox, etc?
You could get the ducks and cats to nibble people to death! ::)
Andrea Miniatures (http://www.andreaeurope.com/en/?redirect=true) have various animals in 54mm, mostly ones that are part of dioramas but available separately. Horses, cows, chickens, dogs, etc, etc.
