Superb, 2nd the above comments.

WOW, those shields are fantastic!  The rest of the models are top notch as well.  Fantastic work.  Really makes me feel bad because I think I have all those models except for her, and they are all that shiny lead color...not terribly realistic at all.  I have no idea who did those big cats but they are great sculpts.

Yes, now I really think they're the Ral Partha ones, 6mmfan has a pic of an unpainted one in this thread:

Meant to be cheetahs rather than leopards, but at this scale, who can tell the difference?

Thanks, everybody!
Here's the make of all the figures:

Sheena is the Barbarian Queen figure from Copplestone
Castings "Collection" range.

The cats are indeed Ral Partha from the lion pride set ( I also have the male lion and cubs that came with the set- as of yet unpainted). I don't have any info on the product code or where you can even find these cats anymore. I found mine in the bargain bin at my local shop many years ago.

The witchdoctors are from the Wargames Foundry Darkest Africa witchdoctor pack (DA 6/2)

And the warriors are Wargames Foundry Darkest Africa Masai (from packs DA 11/3 and DA 11/.) I painted them up as my own made-up tribe of modified versions of Masai moroni (young warriors). The real moroni dress in all black with white-painted faces. I added a couple red faces as "elite" warriors, and painted the shields combining the designs of the all-black clothing with traditional masai shield designs.

A quick look through the Iron Wind Metals site doesn't find any sign of the old RP lion pride set, but IWM's site is really hard to search. Pity.
