Alright, these photos really don't do the minis justice but my usual digi cam is currently not available so this will have to do:




The native is standing slightly higher because of the metal base it's on but just like with 28mm Foundry Pirates this is perfect to make them look right next to the 30mm BS Pirates.

Hope this helps!

Many thanks. Now I know I could use smaller miniatures may be. I think the Copplestone ones are a bit taller than the Foundry ones.

Wouldn't the islanders in general be a bit shorter than the Pirates, anyways?

If you are willing to use regular 28mm islanders/cannibals, then Old Glory has a good 30 pack of them in its pirate figures line.  There is a guy who puts his out for convention games in my region, and they look quite good painted up.  Interestingly, he painted them up with mud packed hair.  The chief pack, canoe pack, and the cooking pot pack are good also.  Old Glory figures are reasonably priced.

Just out of interest have any of you seen figures of Kingsmill islanders. I always thought they'd make excellent and ferocious looking minis with sharkstooth swords and spears 'tebutje' and some impressive body rattan armour (sort of Mad Max meets No Escape)

The Eureka Hawaiians are very slightly shorter and slimmer than Pulp Figures.  I think they will look dandy together.
