Could be interesting foes for adventurers, or naval landing parties from various eras.
-
Mr. Murch has outdone himself. They look great!
-
Love'm.
Would look the business with all kinds of sailors.
I have a horror wereshark which needs a cult following and those would fit the ticket quite nicely.

Fine Young Cannibals
-
Didn't see this here. I've just posted pics of all his new WIP on the pulp board. lol
-
Not to worry. I just posted the part I thought might be interesting to colonial gamers. They might have missed it in the Pulp section.
-
Besides, anyone who would complain about having to see Bob Murch's work multiple times has a total lack of taste. ;)
-
Oh my. And to think that I just watched "White Savage" of 1943 vintage. Coincidence? I beg to differ, my dear Watson :o
However, the movie was sooo bad (and not in a good way) that I am not in any way inclined to venture to the South Seas, in contrast to when I watched "Lt. R. Crusoe, U.S.N." back in 2004. Of course, that one had both Nancy Kwan AND Dick van Dyke, so I might be excused. lol
-
Can't imagine (thank goodness!) what it would be like to be hit with that 'sword' lined with sharks' teeth! It's the same sort of cringe you feel when you consider the Mesoamerican obsidian-bladed swords!
-
Potentially another use for the Conquistadores too, many of these islands, like the Solomons for instance were first sighted by the Spanish. Now with some OG Moros, Eureka Dyaks and these Fernão de Magalhães here we come!
-
Now we only miss some hula girls [Is the term correct?]
Let's hope for some next release!
-
Hula is more of a Polynesian thing, I think.
Edit: I was going to make a bad pun and say that I'd check on Tikipedia. But upon investigation, it seems there really is a website called Tikipedia. ;D
-
Wow, great figures. I could easily fit them into my VSF/Darkest Africa world ;D
-
I'm just surprised no one has mentioned the movie "Rapa Nui" yet!
Those are really nice minis!
-
That might be because Rapa Nui is Polynesian, and thousands of miles away from Melanesia. :)

Just to help anyone out who may have been staring out the window at the girls playing netball when they should have been paying attention in Geography...
Melanesia...

Melanesian Warrior...
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/Melwarrior2.gif)
Polynesia...
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/Poly.jpg)
Polynesian Warrior...
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/polywarrior.jpg)
And just for completeness, Micronesia...
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/Micro.jpg)
And a Micronesian Warrior...
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/herve-1.jpg)
Okay, so I made the last one up. :)
-
Thank you Sir :)
I`ll pay more attention from now on.
Are there any sculpts available for Micronesians ?
lol
-
I don't know about Micronesians, but Eureka has nice polynesians including war canoes.
-
Not that I am aware of but there are Eureka makes Polynesians in the shape of Maoris and Hawaiians. They also do dayaks but they are culturally and racially quite different. (Scheltrum also has a Dayaks in Kayaks range) Tiger M. makes moros from the Philipines/Java but they are a malay people.

Is Melanesia the same place as Micronesia? ???
-
I like these a nice take on the Papua New Guineans though a little heavy set for that type of people

Pay attention at the back there. It's all on the maps provided. And it's quite simple...
Polynesia: Tattoos, sticking your tongue out, Rugby Football, war canoes, Tiki lamps, ukuleles, "Book 'em, Danno", Giant stone heads, mutinous jack tars throwing all the breadfruit trees overboard, your battleships blowing up courtesy of the Mitsubishi corporation.
Melanesia: Kinky Afros, body paint, bones through your nose, ritual warfare, Pidgin English, Cannibalism, Elderly Japanese soldiers who think the war is still on, Nick Nolte having a blue fit because his men haven't captured the hill.
Micronesia: Um, dunno, really. Not as famous as the other two. Apparrently a bit of mix of Polynesian, Melanesian and Filipino cultures. USMC: "Send more Japanese." US bases. Probably Ladyboys.
-
Tiger miniatures and Old glory produce Moros which would work as Micronesian warriors (philipines)
(http://cebueskrima.s5.com/images/moros.jpg)
but there are laso the other indigenous warriors whic the Pulp figures could be used for
(http://www.cruising-
solomonislands.com/IMAGES1/WARRIOR.JPG)
Also Bontoc warriors from the Philipines, interesting stuff, these look like Dyaks form Sarawak

Top contender for post of the month.

And reality matters exactly how in a pulp game, again?

sorry if the link provided contained a little nudity

I'm not saying it does, I was just giving a possible reason why nobody had mentioned Rapa Nui.
Anyway, this is Colonial, not Pulp. :)

Better use some coconuts, as those would both fit the topic of the thread AND the gravity of the crime commited! lol
