Sleazy Merchant and Sleepy Sentry preview

[Alxbates]

They remind me of She:often rendered with a somewhat 'Egyptian' look.
But they would not be out of place in Southern Shem or on Tékumel, either.

I've gotten a fair bit of interest from the Tekumel group of Facebook - and H. Rider Haggard is definitely an ingredient in the stew of my ideas!

let me know when your up and running I would love theses!

I was thinking about things that could happen south of Carthage and not always including Romans but unknown people as well...

A city-state (not yet 'lost' in Roman times!) like Antinea's kingdom in Pierre Benoit's Atlantida?


Btw Antinea  took inspiration (besides, possibly, Ayesha) from (historical) Tin Hinan / Tamenukalt 'the Queen of the Hoggar'.

Hercules already met Antinea in Ercole Alla Conquista Di Atlantide, so you have a 'respectably historical' precedent

I really love these. Something out of the ordinary and characterful. Does the sleazy merchant require some staff or family?

I've considered that.  Perhaps a wife that shares his stature, or a major domo of some sort.

I'm open to suggestions!

That! There's not enough Deja-Thoris-ate-all-the-pies miniatures about.

I can see some definite Gloranthan uses for them, so I may well join in the Kickstarter (which is unusual for me). Lovely stuff Alex.

Exactly what I was thinking! 

[The Dozing Dragon]

Read 'The Sunbird' by Wilbur Smith. A Carthaginian city founded in Africa after the Punic wars and lost to time......brilliant story and Mr Smith at his early storytelling best. In fact I must re-read it soon!

[The Hooded Claw]

Wonderful miniatures all. Your world takes shape and gains character with each and every release.

Keep it up, Alex.

Only one wife?

Agree re. Majordomo. Somebody has to grease the wheel!

What about a Pseudolus figure?  http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/images/reviews/190/1194401102_1.jpg

I'm quite fond of Smith's books - his River God series is a favorite!

Huzzah!

I know there there is a bit of (quite justified) reluctance to join in on miniatures Kickstarters -it's my hope that by having everything sculpted ahead of time, that will assuage some of those concerns.
