Northstar now has 28mm cavemen for Tribal listed in their Mana Press section. As a previous poster mentioned they look very Neanderthal, but less brutish than Lucid Eye's offering. Four packs of warriors including heroes and youngsters, and one pack of family.

Darkson, Northstar have just released the range of cavemen aimed at "Tribal". Some look like Disney caricatures but overall OK . Check out their website under "Mana Press". They are currently offering some "deals" which look quite attractive.

I had almost settled on using the 15mm Copplestone Barbarian range (https://www.copplestonecastings.co.uk/list.php?cat=18...) until I realised there is a lack of "Long" weapons.
I know I could just say "swords are long, axes are short", but does anyone know of a range that would complement these that have spears?

A little too different from the Barbarians/Northlanders, I was hoping for something more in their style.

If it comes down to it, I'll take them.

Possibly something from RPE Demon World?

Thain have spear men but some have shields, the hunters may be a better match - I'm unsure how the sizes match up...

Just curious … Did you end up deciding on the scale and ranges?

The Khurasan range has long weapons (spears): https://khurasanminiatures.tripod.com/cave-spears.jpg



I, too, would like to know what you decided upon - if you have anyway.
