Love it.  Now I may have to seek out this game.

I would recommend that you do. It is not only good fun but also cheap and playable solo as the Beasts all 'react' to what the Hunters do (or bugger up!) so really does have a lot going for it. Most people play it in the 'real' worlf but I have chosen a more cartoony/fantasy route inspired by the illustrations in the book.

You can either get it from Ganesha Games as a PDF download:

Thanks, Dave.
You can have a go at Palaeo Diet at BLAM if you fancy trying it out.
 ;)

Some more creatures that will be going on to 'The Menu' soon....

Starting off with some Larger Grazers (which could be used as either 'Giants' as they have enough 'meat' on them to justify it, or simply as another species)...




The heads are separate so that can be switched between the bodies, and also set at slightly different angles if you choose to.
Here they are on the other bodies....




And Mummy and Daddy with a Juvenile...




Also, here is a 'Jubjub Bird' from the 'Follow That Bird' scenario, with his prized tail feathers that are a status symbol amongst many Tribes....



He would work equally well as a 'Critter' too.


Another Beast type are the 'Pack Predators', and here is the first of them, a 'Wooliff', which will be one of three variants eventually...




'The Menu' is getting there but there are plenty more options to come.....
 :D

A brush has been pointed in the direction of the Hyenas....







.....a quick job whilst doing other things in order to get them on the table.


Here they are attempting to take down Bet Lunch...



...which may not be their best idea given that she is wearing a leopard skin dress!

Cheers, mate.

A few updates condensed into one....

I got the master castings of the Cave Bears back recently, which are on the paint table, and I hope to have them finished soon enough too.
I gave a few to a mate of mine, Big P, who has put me to shame by painting one up already with a rather snazzy zebraskin bag....







Having had their extra fur and enlarged eyes and ears added to match the others, and then daubed at roughly with the bristly end of the paintbrush, the Pack Predators are now up to four strong thanks to Old-N-Busted.
They should see some use soon....




...so: Many thanks, Mr Old-N-Busted for the kind donation to 'The Menu'.
 :D

I also slapped paint on a whimsical piece of 'living scenery' which will be making an appearance soon....



...which should prove quite amusing, for me at least.

Game pics....taken at random during two different games, one of which was considered a Successful Hunt, after they had driven off the viscious Three-Headed Sabretooth.
The other, quite frankly, was a DISASTER, with only one Wounded Hunter on his feet at the end of the game!

The Giant Hominid was a very happy and well fed chap at the finish, though.....  ;D



The set-up....




Shots of the action.....

Your creatures are brilliant, really cleverly sourced and modified.

That is actually been one of the fun aspects of this project: Finding something that might work in my existing leadpile and making it fit.

Speaking of which, here is the Giant Hominid that caused such havoc in the second game.....



....another find in the leadpile, but I cannot remember who made it so, if you know where it is from, please tell me as I could really do with another.
The only thing I remember is it was some kind of Yeti purchased from CMON ages ago, but as they had a huge list of manufacturers to choose from, I cannot remember which it was.....

Help!

Here he is with a Hunter to show his Giant-ness...
