Northstar Cannibals

[cram]

Has anybody seen these yet? I'd like to get a few packs but there are no pics as yet on Northstar's site. Don't want to part with any money before knowing if their any good or not.

Cheers Marc.

Same here.
Theve been availiable on the site for a over a week without pics. Show us greens, unpainted metal, anything will do. Thier other African stuff is nice so I have high hopes. Fingers crossed they are based on historial peoples and not just 'mad, wacky looking' tribesmen.

I was in Northstar the other day and asked about these. I didn't see the figures as the extreme ones were being molded and I forgot to go back and check on the others that were on Nicks desk. I did get a description and the 'intentions' of them though. The first two packs, cannibals with spears/bows, are historical figures although not of any specific tribe. The ritual mask ones are a little pulpy as they have the masks on which are unlikely to have been worn while fighting, but they are all based on real masks. The extreme cannibals however are full on Pulp/Tarzan/King Kong style cannibals. Bones through skin, ritual scars etc.

Yee-ha !   And just the other day I was telling myself I have ENOUGH different African-style tribes.  Seems I was mistaken.  I will need these figures.

Hello Everyone, new boy here. I am awaiting delivery of the aforementioned cannibals. I don't have much going on in my Indoors-Downstairs-Shed at the moment so might be able to make my first project pictures a "before and after". Smashing site by the way.

They have been talking about these since early April; I have given up waiting for pictures. Of course I am sure my enthusiasm will return once they finally put up pics! I am a total sucker for Darkest Africa.

Welcome to the forum Zulu Dalek. Some pics of you're figs when you get them would be great!
Thanks Marc.

YEE HA !  Those are extremely cool figures !!   

Any chance I could buy multiples of some of the excellent shield types so as to have my warriors' shields match?

Keep up the wonderful work !!

So cool.

Those are VERY nice!! I'll have to get a few packs as allies for my Force Publique.

Looking forward to the Tribal Chief!

Very nice looking just the types to chase Tarzan & Jane around!

Very nice looking just the types to chase Tarzan & Jane around!

Or the extreme ones would work well whilst hunting that giant ape...

It is fine if you specify which shield you'd like. We made a number of different shields, but we always had in mind a tribe would have one specific shield. Because of the way they are moulded, if you don't ask, you get a mix, but it's no effort to put all of one sort in for you.
