Anyone working on sculpting a race of strong, semi-savage gorilla men for use with 15mm? Perhaps something like this, but with a more simian posture?
link link Inquiring minds want to know. Lots of potential for use, I think. Hollow Earth dwellers, Earth's rulers in the distant post-apocalyptic future, or even an alien planet populated by hairy semi-primitive primates. Imagine these alien primates with a few basic weapons: vimeo.com/m/14071931 YouTube link What do you guys think? Dan |

They are coming as soon as the mold is finished this week. 4 different monkey men with clubs sculpted by whiff whaff. Will then know how these guys are at making molds and get our greens sent to them for mastering. |

The 15mm armoured orcs from Rank & File (I don't know who they are now RAFM did them for a while) are almost a perfect fit. Sadly I can't find a photo.
I've been thinking of painting mine up as Apes to fight my colonials VSF or as a Ape city deep in the Congo. link link link |

Napthyme, Got any pics of the greens? Thanks, Dan |

I used 15mm Beja tribesmen for something similar.
Not perfect, but with teeth and fangs painted on it might work. -Eli |

@ Dan, I would suggest the Coppelstone 15mm Fantasy Picts: link Club and bow armed. Speedy delivery and helpful sales team too. Cheers, |

In case anyone else wants to take a crack at it:

GeeZus – when you see them shaved like that, it certainly does emphsise that you really, really wouldn't want to mess with a gorilla. The size of that torso is just terrifying. John T |

Whiffwhaff has definitely proven he can do gorilla men: TMP link
Now all he needs to do is duplicate that same feat for 15mm, right? Dan |

John T, Nowadays that, unlike Nature's cruel culling, humans try to save every baby animal to maturity, you really don't need to shave them to see their amazing musculature: link link link

Not really primitive, but maybe these other guys could be a different faction on an Ape-dominated world:

You know, paint their body armor metallic and their clothing in reds and leathers and they might just work for more primitive or post-apocalyptic. -Eli |
