Mine are a mix of Reaper and Crocodile / Wargods. Not sure on Bobbo's. I especially like the mummy on far right.

Really well painted both of you!

These are from a Fantasy Flight boardgame - 'The Adventurers - Pyramid of Horus'. He did figures from that game before and does them very well may I say.

Yes, these 5 finish out the set.  I'm glad to be done with them because painting them is a pain.  Extremely shallow details. 

Beautiful figures pacarat.  The whole scene is wonderfully evocative.

Thanks. You did a really nice job given the shallow details. Those sculpts have some serious attitude. i'm going to look into getting the game, if i cant find the figs separately.

The game is a lot of fun, but it is definitely a casual game.  Highly based on luck.  The goal is to be the player to escape the pyramid with the most treasure, and at the end of every round you draw a stone block that falls from the ceiling blocking that space permanently.  It is just a gamble to stay in the pyramid for as long as possible before you are completely blocked in.  Plus the fact that the more treasure and wounds you have the less actions you can take to search or move, so the riskier it becomes to stay.  The game is almost always won by the last person to leave the pyramid before it is sealed. 

We enjoy playing the game and the figures are cool.  You can get the pre-painted figures individually for around $20 for all 11 from a bunch of vendors.  I've never tried to paint over these pre-paints in particular but it is doable if they are like the other ones.  The ones that come with the game are just gray plastic.
