A little more armor and she'd be a perfect Valkeeri.

I really like your new range of EotPT miniatures!
And they have a *lot* of potential outside Tékumel: long ago the previous incarnation of the 12th Imperial Light Infantry provided psiloi supporting my Minifigs Aureola Rococo close-order troops (in a Hyboria-like campaign à la Tony Bath, i.e. without 'magic': more 'alternate history' than fantasy). Tékumel minis can also be used as Barsoomian / Martians, and on Earth (http://www.drunkendragoonproductions.com/18thcentimagi-nation/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=152) for Atlantis or Mu or some 'newly discovered' civilization on a '7th continent' or somewhere in American jungles / deep Africa / at the Earth's core 'Los World' / 'She Who Must Be Obeyed' / Tarzan fashion; and this at any period from mythical Antiquity to the early Pulp era.

As for 'exotic' nudity, the topless costume of women in such 'exotic' cultures, historically the taboo on female breasts (just like the one on female hair) is an odd peculiarity of Abrahamanic religions: before the arrival of Christianity or Islam everywhere on Earth under warm or hot climates women went  as bare-breasted as men (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Nu3VHbWip0U/UDtyQ4PK07I/AAAAAAAAERc/QZ-T3Uxs5rk/s1600/R%2540%25CF%2580sa%25CC%2580ra1.jpg). Weather permitting, to give bras to women of such 'exotic' cultures as Tsolyanu is as silly as giving them (together with mascara eye-liner and perm) to cave girls in fur bikini (http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/9b/b7/b3/9bb7b334641f2be5e74e9f6a9f559843.jpg): historically they wore monokinis (http://www.film.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/28566591-28566594-large.jpg).

Ah, yes.  One of the Shropshire hiQurrulúmas (pronounced "Fanshawe", of course).

Nice model.

I really dig your Tekumel stuff compadre! I don't understand, I wish I owned the old books so it meant a lot to me, but I really like it!

Thanks!  :)

There are a lot of PDFs still available from DriveThruRPG, including the original maps, a map of the city of Jakalla and the histories of the Tsolyani legions: The Deeds of the Ever-Glorious. The latter gives a history for each legion - sometimes just a short section, but others get several pages. It gives some interesting insights into the "mindset" of the Empire. I had to modify the way I thought about things after reading it.

Last month I received a small order of the EPT miniatures and have to say that not only are the sculpts fantastic, but the casting is very crisp.
