Not sure whether this is Post-Ape/or or Scimian-Fiction.

These are the last minis that are unpainted in my lead pile. So I took three and stashed them in the bits bag so I wouldn’t keel over when these are painted.

15x Lucid Eye Simians, including Caesar.
6x Crooked Dice later/earlier movie types, 3 with rifle, a leader, a clubbed, and a catcher.
2x Crooked Dice mounted later/earlier types with rifles.
1x Crooked Dice Giant Gorilla

I say “redux” because I’ve done many of these before and then sold them on; now I’m putting everything I paint into my cupboard.

Here’s the start. More tomorrow.

Probably Crooked Dice. Big fan of their stuff!

That is just fantasy! ^__^

The figures are Post Apocalypse, you know [spoiler] because "You finally really did it! YOU MANIACS! YOU BLEW IT UP! AH, DAMN YOU! GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!!" [/spoiler].

I look forward to seeing them done.

They look great! Somehow though I feel like you need a large, black monolith.

Nice job.

Monolith ... or Statue of Liberty

Should this have been in sci fi maybe?

I thought about it when the thread first appeared. I usually defer to the person who started the topic unless it's blatantly out of place. Recognizing that the book is different and more distinctly sci-fi, I guess it is because of the original movie's iconic end I always thought of the 'Planet of the Apes' franchise/genre as post-apocalypse.

That was my argument - the end of the movie.

Besides ... Ape-pocalypse
