Island natives miniatures
« on: May 19, 2009, 06:40:59 PM »
I am looking for Island natives (or cannibals  ;D ) compatible in size with Black Scorpion pirates miniatures ?

Any idea apart Black Cat (which are on my to buy list) ? Thanks
I wish I were an octopus to paint more miniatures...Cthulhu must be a great painter

The Pulp Figures Melanesians are pretty sweet...I swear, I have a man-crush on Bob Murch.

Yes I did and it's fantastic but I already have Pulp Figures miniatures (not the natives but many other ones) and they are smaller than Black Scorpion miniatures.

it is hard to find figures with the same size like Black Scorpion.

But you can also concider all islanders to be shorter than the whites!
and you can use Eureka's hawaiians, too!

BTW does anyone know if those eurekas are compatible with Pulp figures?

Good idea, I could use my oop Games Workshop pigmy's. The Conquest Miniatures zombies might be great too with undead pirates.

Reaper's Malapango Savages are more African than Polinesian but are at least of similar size to Black Scorpion. I've seen them used as generic islanders several times just by swapping out the distinctive shields.

Scheltrum do a Dayak range to go with their Rajah Brook Borneo stuff. this includes canoes and buildings on stilts as well as Dayaks with bows, spears and sharkskin armour - nasty b*ggers - think of the native in the Peter Jackson King Kong.

They wont be compatible with your big back scorpion stuff, but these guys arent much over 5 ft in real life anyway.

I like the Copplestone Africans (even though I have only one, which I got from ebay). You can see her here: http://cianty-tabletop.de.vu/loths.html

If you are interested I can make a comparison shot with a Black Scorpion pirate (of your choice :) ).

Eureka sell some too which fit in quite nicely with the Scheltrum ones

Thanks Cianty. You can make a comparison with any of the Black Scorpion as I have all of them.
