Oh, I made a right mess of that.

I'm trying to show you the photo of the new Cannibal King for North Star Africa!, designed by our beloved Steve Saleh.

Here's the link. Should be available to buy later this week.

Awesome stuff!!  Steve is without question one of the best sculptors around in my opinion. The little pile of skulls you mentioned also sounds like a great addition.

A lovely pile of skulls I'm sure it is too.

Do they have bones through their noses? Looks like it, but it's kind of hard to see on that small picture.

Not really, just makes him a tad more 'Cannibal King of New Guinea' than Cannibal King of Central Africa to my mind, that's all. Lovely looking sculpts other than that tiny detail. And I love the drum.  :)

Should be pretty easy to remove with a scalpal I'd expect.

Well knowing me I'd mess it up, but I like the look of that chubby chief enough to risk it, I think...

I should have pictures of the Cannibal Warchiefs this week, they are over the top but in a different way. Think you'll like them.

They eat a bit too well for the comfort of my other miniatures!  :D

Popped into the North Star office yesterday to take a look. Nose bones should be very easy to remove on the big chief, just scrape it with the scalpal a few times. The drummer would need a very small cut as the bone is a bit bigger but it's still very simple.

The sculting is so similar to the Mark Coppletone stuff I have from foundry and Copplestone Castings it's spooky. If you never said I would have assumed they were Copplestone. They should be very compatable- and desirable too.
