I have painted up my basic Neanderthal force for use with Tribal. http://www.manapress.com.au/tribal/
Plus some beasties for them to hunt or be hunted by.

Wow, superb!
-
Great,like them. Wich manufacture are the Terrorbirds?

Reaper minis "Axebeak"
-
thanks.
-
Very nice. What's with the fancy edge base for the chief?
Are there rules for Mammoth tribes :D
-
Wonderful work
-
Very nice. :)
-
Very good. :-* :-*
I´m preparing 2 bands of bronze age warriors for these rules too.
-
Splendid 8)
cheers

They look great :-*
-
Great work. If you're going to play Tribal, who will be the other side?
-
stunning :-* :-* :-*

Very nice. What's with the fancy edge base for the chief?
Are there rules for Mammoth tribes?
I used a heroclix clicky base to track wounds (attack cards) of my chief
Mammoth rules are coming out in the next edition (along with other prehistoric animals)
Great work. If you're going to play Tribal, who will be the other side?
As well as battling other Neanderthal tribes (and Mammoths) the other sides are Cro-Magnons and Denisovans (the 3 Homo sapien sub species).
-
Don't forget the Simians, if you don't mind stretching the boundaries a bit!
Tribal is a damn fun game. :)
-
Other hominids will not be forgotten ;)
-
What a great bunch... :o
Really like your painting on these great miniatures.
Cheers,
Don
-
Excellent figures.
if I may ask where do I find the tribal rules?
Also, what company makes the cave men figures?
-
I got my copy of Tribal as a PDF download from the Wargame Vault:
http://www.wargamevault.com/product/181702/Tribal--skirmish-combat-game
-
Yep thats right, or printed books are availables via Eureka Miniatures: http://eurekamin.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=13098 or you can email the publisher at: themanapress@gmail.com
Miniatures are Lucid Eye's Savage Core range, that are now produced by Warlord Games
-
I plan on getting a hard copy when those Dark Age Greeks get released. If I'm gonna get killed on postage, it may as well be worth my while!😃
-
Actually Nic has cast those Greeks, he just hasn't got them on his website yet. I picked up an Odysseus and Telemachus last week. The chariot is big enough to fit a small based hero in, so you can dismount him to duke it out with some Trojan scum, before remounting and looking for another vicitim
-
...and I grabbed a mini of Heracles, with a huge lion head as a decorative accessory. Maybe too big, but the Nemean lion was pretty big wasn't it? ;)
We'll be doing special rules for each of the dark age greek heroes for Tribal, I reckon - as well as chariot rules which have been discussed in other threads etc (honour marker holders etc)
-
Excellent!
-
Other hominids will not be forgotten ;)
i hope so !
i have some to use

I was thinking of something less scary. This is Homo habilis fighting over an elephant carcass with H.rudofensis. From a Tribal Primeval scenario we are working on

ok, i understand.
I have to buy these excellent ones too. :-*....To add to my Hominid Warband.

-
Superb painting and the scenario is brilliant, really primeval. Well done!! :)
-
Excellent work there guys, quite inspirational.
I'd fancied getting some North European Bronze Age types, but you guys have stretched it soooo faaar back!
-
I like your hominins, Freelancer. Who makes those?

We'll draw the line at Tribal Cambrian -The Trilobite Wars ;)
The miniatures are more of Lucid eyes Savage Core range. I removed the spears as they were a bit advanced for the time period.
-
Lovely stuff - I like the minor conversion work you did.
-
Completely unrelated, does anyone know if these were ever released?

Ohh no Eric!!
Its not for me. Its for Von Lucky. He is the one asking. :D
I dont want more projects...
...for the time being. ;)

After watching Scott and Viv from Knights of Dice build a cool Tribal ravine table, I though I should get to work on a project that I have been aiming to do for a couple of years.
I wanted a big corner hill, so it could fit on any sized table. The shapes and colours were inspired by those of Central Australia and Northern South Australia (Palm Valley and Flinders Ranges to be precise). However, I did trade off between a realistic level of detail and playablilty.
The caves:

and after so texture on the cliffs and some paint:

Next step is some flocking and extra details
-
I think Tribal is proving to be a popular rule set is its flexibility for the genre. Tribal warfare has many different aspects, I am playing using African tribes for some Tarzan games.
Also the rules are refreshlingly different. I never thought I'd be advocating a card based game system, but when I tried a game the combat round felt like combat (trying to read your opponent and decide whether to play a feint or go for an attack). Using the same cards for measuring movement, unit coherency and such is also a neat touch.
Cave board looks cool btw.
-
Cool stuff!...Reminds me of a very very old game mentioned in miniature wargames magazine back in the 80's, think it was called 'Little Big Man' set in Papua New Guinea where combat was very ritualistic and centered around 'gardens' or formal clearings in the jungle. The rules were very basic to the extent that it was based on hands..outstretch your palm and thats how far you can run and throw a weapon lol......Funny thing is i can just picture all you guys checking out your palm sizes...yep, size really does matter lol lol
-
Looks really great.
I might look into this Tribal rules, looks interersting.
-
I got a sneak peak at the greens for Eureka miniatures new prehistoric range of Denisovans (to go with the rules in Tribal: Primeval). Miniatures are going to be ready by Salute next year.

Talking of Salute 2017... ... ... ;)
-
Very nice, I see there's more on Mana Press' Twitter feed:
https://twitter.com/ManaPress/media
What's the average size warband for this?
-
Need slightly less than a normal Tribal game. One might argue that this could be because prehistoric communities were smaller. The truth is, I like my Lucid Eye Neanderthals, and there's not much variance in the figure poses to be fielding too many warriors etc that look exactly the same...
The rules in the Primeval supplement, currently, say:
Each player will also need:
• A Chief or War-Leader, 1-3 individual Hero models, and a method to record their wounds – small dice work well.
• 2-4 units of 5 warriors each. Warrior groups are armed with either short weapons (clubs, axes, knives) or long weapons (spears, throwing-spears).
For my Neanderthals, I have a chief, two heroes and 2 units of 5 warriors.
-
Any chance that the Lucid Eye, now Warlord Savage Core, range could be expanded with another pack?
-

I used a Reaper Neanderthal pack to expand my tribe, but there still aren't enough different sculpts to get a tribe. Plenty of options: Copplestone Cavemen, Pulp Figures, etc. A little green stuff should outfit them all to match well enough.
-
In the preview scenario for Tribal, it was 1 chief, 2 heroes, a band of 5 warriors with short weapons, and a band of 5 with long weapons. Perfect size to try the rules out.
-
Thanks guys. Eureka shopping list updated.

I didn't realise there was a Mana Press Twitter feed. Thanks, the Chief and heroes look great.
-
Wow! That's an apocalyptic sized horde. Have you played a game of Tribal with the full force? The biggest game I have played is 3 units of warriors, 2 heroes and a Chief (most of whom were killed by an angry Mammoth )
Here is a pic of the Denisovan heroes

Nice figurines...but i have all my stock already done.....
and my beasts too (Tiger see here (http://chti-reanimator59.blogspot.fr/2015/07/re-animator-est-la-fete.html) , Mammouth...)
Missing a big terror bird.
Just waiting my monkey/small hominids from Lucid Eyes.

Great treat freelancer :o, waiting to see moore!
Very tempted to start my own "caveman/tribal" ...project!

Do not forget Steve Barber models http://www.stevebarbermodels.com/35-28mm-prehistoric-settlement (http://www.stevebarbermodels.com/35-28mm-prehistoric-settlement)
Though limited in poses, he has a good range at a fine price.
My fave has to be the new chief http://www.stevebarbermodels.com/28mm-prehistoric-settlement/40-28mm-caveman-chieftain-with-large-rhino-horn-spear.html (http://www.stevebarbermodels.com/28mm-prehistoric-settlement/40-28mm-caveman-chieftain-with-large-rhino-horn-spear.html)

These look fantastic. I was looking at some of my Blacktree Nubians and thinking they would make good prehistoric Africans. I am kind of sick of all cavemen being beardy europeans. Lucid eye's Asiatic/American Cro-Magnons were great, but these Denisovans are awesome too. I had to look up who the hell Denisovans were. Very interesting, I like how the miniatures include little hints of Australasian/Melanesian weapons. Look forward to these being added to my collection one day. Is caveman/tribal rules coming out soon?
-
The rules for Tribal : Primeval are all written. They are just undergoing playtesting before hitting the printers. Hopefully will be ready before the New Year.

YES! That's exactly what I was hoping for with Denisovans as well - the chance to push beyond the bearded caveman look for prehistoric man. The Denisovans provide the opportunity to explore a nomadic range, light and rangy - able to hunt on the steppes of asia through to the deserts of Australia. Nice to see you picked up on the melanesian/koori influences as well. There's little bits here and there.
As Freelancer says, Tribal Primeval will be out soon - I'm pushing for a pre-xmas release! Will chat with Nic and see if we can do a Denisovan/Primeval deal thru Eureka. Here's the cover... just to whet the appetite... ;)
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cy_HpjSUoAAQBJ7.jpg)
As Scurv says, there are some fighting lions and a lioness and cubs - nicely done. Good for an african hunt. I'll be using my Foundry Azande warriors in furs as my prehistoric/precolonial africans.
-
Okay, I'll keep an eye out for this one. Hopefully Eureka will be have the Denisovians ready in time for Salute next year. I don't suppose you fellas are planning to bring a game over again?
-
Yep, we just got notification a few weeks ago that our game was accepted for Salute - so we're busy booking flights etc now. We're putting on a double game - a game of Tribal Primeval and a game of Mad Maximillian. Both played on the same table, which will be inspired by the Australian red-desert landscape. Are you going to be there Matakakea? Would love to catch-up, have a hongi. CHUR! ;)
-
Yes, I'll be there. Sod all money to spend, but I'll still turn up :(
-
I hope I can still get a sweet deal AFTER Christmas. The Minister of Finance has declared that mini funds have been re-allocated for the remainder of the season. ;) ::)

These are all looking gorgeous. I'm looking forward to picking up a bunch of these figs!
-
I got a few sample figures from Nic yesterday. Had to paint them up quick so they might be used in Primeval before it goes to print later this week.

This Tribal thing definitely has me intrigued. :)
Just had a game w/ my 13 yr old video-game addicted son, and he really enjoyed it, asked for a second game immediately after our run-thru! This is unprecedented... ::)
Really a fun game, simple to learn, and with enough new features to make it interesting enough to keep playing. I'm hooked, and will get Primeval as soon as it is available.
-
the entire gang of these has been cast along with a pride of cave lions. They look really good and are an interesting and different looking addition to any prehistoric range.
What do the cave lions look like?
-
Well as Cave Lions probably didn't look too different to regular lions (except possibly a shorter mane on males), I just consider these Lions (or all types). Here they are, unpainted in front of the only vaguely appropriate terrain I had on hand. I want to play them using Primeval's animal rules as Gladiatorial Lions (hence the gladiator in the background).
3 males ( two attacking 1 resting) and 2 females (1 stalking and 1 walking with an antelope leg in her mouth)

-
Looks like closing time at 'Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem'. lol
"Oi! You spilled my pint! Rargh!" Meanwhile, the lioness is scarfing a doner-antelope kebab...
How are you gonna play the animal rules with the gladiator rules? I'm intrigued...
-
Check it out here: http://www.manapress.com.au/tribal/
I shall... not that I need more projects at the moment, but as far as I gather, the rules can easily be adapted for indigenous African tribal fights, and as I plan to make a Jungle Tribes 'column' for Congo, anyway... ;)
-
The rules are perfect for African tribal fights. It's a good way to use the models in a game of their own. My own African tribes are actually Lord of the Rings Mahud (fighting off Haradrim slavers). These models have had more use in Tribal and pulp games than actual games of LotR.
-
Are these available for sale from Eureka yet? I like the lions. It took me a while to work out what was wrong with the lioness head, then I read the description and realised it was stuffed full of antelope lol . You could even use the different poses for the different responses (at rest, attacking etc..). Pity there is not a male lion walking.
-
I don't know if they are on Eureka's website yet, but give Nic an email and I am sure he'll oblige.
I think there are a few more lion poses. I saw greens of some lion cubs at least.

Multi-purposing! My favourite part of the hobby! :-*

Just to let you guys know, I painted some of these up but as Aboriginal Australians and posted them to the colonial board as I thought it was more appropriate. http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=96735.0

Hey,
Get my Lucid eye "hominids", convert them with "natural" weapons and paint them for an AdSOBH Fantasy campaign ... ;)

The glue technique for texture looks very effective.

The glue technique for texture looks very effective.
i use it because there is 2 advantages :
1 - make superglue gluing better, harder and faster.
2 - Give rough appearance to smoth things. I make blundgeon with a paper clip like this ones :

For a more tropical or south Pacific look, maybe Pulp Figures Melanesian line, or Eureka's new Maori.

Primeval is now available on Wargame Vault http://www.wargamevault.com/product/204383/Primeval--a-Prehistoric-Tribal-supplement

-
I like your style! :)
You are welcome.
Sometime, a simple change of color can give a special final result .
Let's imagine :
Take a Masai warrior.
Paint it as an european skin color.
If you need a shielded warrior, change the shield to take off the Masai look and give him a more primitive one.
Job done.
