Thanks Gents
I sold shed loads of them when I traded in Copplestone Castings. I think their next outing will be in a 'Tusk' scenario

Stupid nerd question: Which culture would best be represented by the Copplestone minis? Late Paleolithic or even Mesolithic?

Nothing on them is even close to authentic, but You could go by the spear points for Solutrean foliates and Magdalenian bone points. Mesolithic would be Microlithic implements the size of a thumbnail, difficult to represent on a sculpt, and bows of course

forgot to say that the Copplestone cavemen are my favourites among all kinds of cavemen, un-authentical and everything   ;)

Thanks for the comments Gents
former user - The Copplestone figs fall under the LR wargaming scale of things. They 'Look Right' to wargamers and it is how they believe cavemen should be

I believe the term is Awesomelithic.  Or more generally the Plasticene Epoch. 
This is my boomstick!

I have an order of copplestone cavewomen coming...someday, it was out of stock.  Thanks for the re-invigoration, I almost forgot about them.
Michi, are the cavewomen in your sig maidenhead?  Have any more pictures of them?  If I saw that force thundering across the plains towards me im not sure i could maintain rank.  Id be probably running towards them with hands outstretched, weapon abandoned behind me.
