Those Kappa are great, and that scene reminds me of an episode of The Hero Yoshihiko and the Demon King's Castle  :D

I like yours as well- good collection of figures and I like the sense of desperation as they try to find a safe place to settle down and evaluate their friend's wounds :)
Reminds me of the aftermath of the James/Younger raid on the town in Minnesota.

Thanks Doc! The wounded Artizan figure is a nice piece but not so useful for gaming. In my games it will become Lame Pete Clovis and his cousin who props him up following a gunshot wound that never healed properly. Theyll always be activated as one figure.

That's a good question. I bought them from Tengu models a little over a year ago but I don't think they have them anymore. I seem to recall that Tengu sold them to another company that planned to expand the range (there were even some leader types shown at one point) but I can't find that announcement. I'd love to know myself!

Thanks for the info. Shame they went AWOL though, they're very nice figures.

Tengu is still in business, maybe one or both of us should send them an email to find out where the elusive Kappa ended up?

I must admit, as disheartening as it is to be so utterly destroyed in this round, as it is by one of my most favourite LPL painters I'm finding I don't mind quite so much!  lol

It'll be Captain Blood or Hammers next!
