Just wearing a tunic and some jewelry, aside from their weaponry.

Is anyone working on such a thing at the moment?

Dan: Be sure to read tomorrow's A to Z on my blog.

Copplestone just released some upcoming "Picts" in the classic Frazetta style.

The Baueda Trogs are 28mm…but are darned close:

Maybe they can be convincedto do them in 15? Most of their other stuff is.

Cacique Caribe09 Apr 2012 4:43 p.m. PST

WOW!!! Eli, those Copplestone "Picts" are absolutely perfect. Incredible.

Adding a little more hair on the shoulders and arms shouldn't be too difficult.

I think you may have found my 15mm Morlocks and Oparians too!!!

Eli, you have just made my day. My wife will hate you, but you have by eternal appreciation.

Another interesting idea Dan ! You want Simians without armour and advanced weapons. Any specific weapons or just stock bows with arrows or spears and shields ?

Thanks,

Piotr

Eli Arndt09 Apr 2012 4:54 p.m. PST

Glad I could help Dan. They are perfect for my Hollow Earth and Age of Stone and Bone fantasy setting.

And, if I paint them just right, they could work as Morlocks or as alien primates on some far off world.

Thanks again!

Dan
PS. Piotr! What are you up to these days? Glad to see you here.

CommanderCarnage09 Apr 2012 5:16 p.m. PST

how about some in 28mm?

Cacique Caribe09 Apr 2012 5:31 p.m. PST

This is another way Frazetta visualized the Sagoths of Pellucidar:

I say that's pretty close in my book.

I know. I'm afraid to blink!

jpattern209 Apr 2012 6:05 p.m. PST

Man, those Picts are nice!

I'm with CommanderCarnage, if they were in 28mm, I'd have already sent off an order.

Wow! Those Copplestone 'Picts' are nice! Thanks for posting. We truly do live in a Golden Age. As someone who grew up with Caspak, Pellucidar, and the Hyborian Age, I'm impressed.

Now is the *perfect* time to get into 15mm…

jpattern210 Apr 2012 11:17 a.m. PST

Too much invested in 28mm to switch now. Plus, I prefer the look of 28mms on the tabletop.

Now for Something (NOT) Completely Different:
what about Shagots?

Cacique Caribe10 Apr 2012 3:36 p.m. PST

I have a feeling that those Copplestone "Picts" are going to feel right at home in the middle of Africa:

YES!! Now THAT would be way cool.

ps.That is one very scarey site. Some of the other postings are quite worrying.

GriffinTamer06 Mar 2013 8:19 p.m. PST

Intrigued to have just come across this thread, as I've been thinking I'd like to do some sculpting based on Burroughs' novels… Is anyone aware of specifically Burroughsian characters or creatures available anywhere as minis?

Cacique Caribe09 Mar 2013 10:31 a.m. PST

I found a re-purposing option for Opar:

Cool. It actually looks like there's a lot of stuff suitable for games set in Tarzan's Africa. (Though maybe not enough of the more far out critters that occasionally appear… dinosaurs and such, or the mahars as depicted above.)

How about Barsoom? I'd love to work on some Barsoomian denizens…

Cacique Caribe09 Mar 2013 7:34 p.m. PST

There's lots and lots of stuff:

I just wish I had the time to make a list for 15mm that mirrors this fella's list for 28mm:
