Hi All,

Until know I find the dark art minis as and option, but not idea about the scale comparision with copplestone minis... ???
Thanks in advance!!!

Did you notice the Picts from the Conan Boxed game?
The quality of the Picts is ace ( good, sharp details ), the box offers 3 different warrior sculpts ( 2 with handweapon, 1 bowman ) and a shaman. They are quite big, but as you're looking for Frazetta style warriors they'll do the job.

and:

Lucid Eye ( Walord, their Savage Core miniatures ) offers some more traditional Neanderthals. Have them and really like them and the are quite big aswell:

Mick Leach is sitting on a pile of greens based off Frazetta's Neanderthals, and they are absolutely perfect. Part of a larger prehistoric project, sadly unreleased. I'll see if I can hunt down the pics. And I'll go bug him abt them again !😉
-
Duncan Mc Dane: thanks very much for your ideas, I know savage core range...great miniatures but I'm looking something more grotesque! About Conan Picts is one possibility but I prefer find something in meta if is posible! :D
LeadAsbestos: ;D this can be great! Waiting for your pics!!
-
Ral Partha did some way back when that are based on that first pic of Frazetta's...

What about the Otherworld cavemen? Not a perfect match but pretty good

There are more out there if I can hunt them down. Drew Williams sculpts for Eastern Front Studios, stuck out there in limbo, unproduced! :'(
Here they are:

Droolworthy, if I may say so myself. :-* :-*
-
I second Lucid Eye's cavemen. Not quite the style for which you were asking but I think the Cro Mags, Neanderthals, and Amazons look great.
I love those greens above, as well. Great job. Wish I could find them in the store.
-
Those sculpts are fantastic. Someone needs to release them!
-
Here are the Lucid Eye neanderthals with my paintwork (as used on the product packaging now, in fact!)
Brilliant figures, albeit not quite so 'sub human' / brute looking as the Frazetta paintings...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/577_31_07_15_4_51_11_0.jpg)
-
Ah, YOU painted those! And did you do the Cro Mags, too?
That Cro Mag leader is one of my all time favorite minis. I've been trying to emulate your paint job on several instances of that mini. It turns out okay but not like the Lucid Eye official one.
Did you do the chimps and Amazons, too?
Man, you cost me so much money....
-
Um, not sure. Possibly the chimps, but I haven't seen the packaging on those. I haven't painted the cro-magnons.
Here are my chimps... :)

Sorry; not really any help, but damn; what is wrong with her hand? lol
(http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=96050.0;attach=53910;image)
-
Hands are the hardest thing to draw right... ::)
-
She's halfway morphing into some primeval Ghoulish Vampirella-appearance, ready to claw at Neanderflesh and squirting poison from her killer bustier.
( yes, I need to read more decent books and watch more To the Manor Born-like movies ;) ).
-
She's a relative of Mierce's Penda....

Unproduced...what a crime!
-
I have some figures that from the moment I saw them I immediately thought of that first Frazetta picture and would be surprised if they were not directly inspired by it.

Minifigs World of Greyhawk cavemen
I really like them and intend to paint them for D&D.

What's that big orangutan-looking guy in the back row? I don't think I've seen that figure before.
-
He is a Frostgrave Snow Ape, kind of a crappy sculpt, but he plays his role...

Looks like my brother in law.

Great looking ape warband.

Orc - I do have a bunch of pics on the thread about the tents here:

:-* :-* :-*Thanks Alex! I need your tents, are perfect to use in any caveman project!! also interested to find some fertility statue to use with my neanderthals! Any idea where can find something similar ???

It just so happens that I might...

Although mine is tiny - under 20mm tall. It's meant to be a treasure item or terrain accent. Only $1!
-
Well, $hit! It seems like we have some very similar ideas going on! Alex, I'll have an idol too please!
The Wendol in Eaters of the Dead/13th Warrior worship a blood soaked Venus similar to that. Another reason to paint some Vikings with ones cave people!
-
That Idol is sometimes called the Willendorf Venus. It is thought to maybe be an old European fertility goddess. Berkta, or Bertha of the Norse/Germanic pathian. You can usually find them at occult shops fairly cheap.
-
:o this is just what I was looking for!! Thanks Alex.... :D

Bob Murch took those cavemen out of production and sort-of announced he would be making a new line of cavemen.
Not sure when or if he really will but I would be really happy to see them!

Ahhh probably explains why I couldn't find them going through the main website but could find them via bing images. Interesting to see what the new ones will look like.

cruciblecrush carries them, but they have mold line issues (which is why I suspect Bob pulled them...molds don't last forever.)

Diablo Jon: Thanks for your sugestion, I like specially the civilians! ;)
Great to know a new line of caveman is coming! :-*

I must have missed that you had this! Would be great for inclusion in a Conan scenario involving Picts or maybe Ligureans.
-
Well, it's pretty tiny. Easy to miss ;)

Now time to find some scenery and compatible terrain useful with my neanderthal and caveman minis.... I'm looking for a Henge stonene or Stone circle.
I find this one...but not very happy....any other idea?
-
Make one! I always thought commercial rocks were the height of madness... :)
-
;D I already did one last year LeadAsbestos (to use with my mithril miniatures) but moving the scenery I broke some pieces >:(... so I prefer find something more durable in resin... :P

Simple ones can't be too hard to make. You could use legos to start and file to shape, then cover with stucco, putty, or something. Or coffee stirring sticks, layered together, covered with putty. That would be a lot of fun to make.
Getting those etchings in the surface is a bigger deal. Could look really cool if they light up with some kind of mystic energy, paint with light blue, red, or green. :)
-
The old Ral Partha hillmen seem to have that look, to me:

Reaper made one for one of their Bones kickstarters that will, hopefully, show up on their store sometime soon...
