Title: The Cro-Magnons/Cavemen are coming...for fight !
Post by: nervisfr on 06 February 2017, 11:13:08 AM
As 2017 seem to be a good year for the Prehistoric subjetcs on the LAF (see the Ancient board too for intereting topics about them)
i add mine to this Forum.

At our club - The Nerviens, we will start in a near future a fantasy campaign based on AdSOBH from ganesha rules.

That the occasion for me to reactivate all my Prehistoric stuff for the purpose and join in the campagin with my Cro Magnon army.

You'll be able to follow the adventures of my cavemen people on my blog (http://chti-reanimator59.blogspot.fr/2017/02/re-animator-un-gros-gourdin.html) too.

I give to my kingdom, the background of a primitive people living among some hominid (apes) tribes/clans in a natural way.

With the kingdom motto : Me see, me kill !
More D&D than prehistoric but that' fit the job for my way to play them, as truly wild guys !

we have human warriors

some pets

i find a new figurine to be converted into a barbarian   ;)

it's Bulldozer from Heroclix range.

A quite big guy that could fill the job for a Leader or a champion/bodyguard for my barbarian king.
