I love that scenario premise. Very suitable for the setting. Highlights the appealing aspects of gaming the stone age: wilderness survival, social interaction at its most rudimentary, and so forth.

Richard,

The game looks fantastic - can't wait to play.  Is the 'Trophy Bride' a nod to Raquel Welch by any chance.  ;D ;D

There is a not-Raquel miniature in the offing (can't remember who's making her) - but she hadn't been cast when I asked at Salute. But fear not, I have a stand-in :)

Ah yes, thank you Steve. Of course - by Matthew Bickley. I remember now  :)
Will definitely be adding her to the collection in due course...

Dear Boy,
This is stunning . Your workmanship on the terrian boards is outstanding .
This is a level that that produces groundbreaking games . Many tend to
put terrian boards as second best to figures , one without another will
never give such brilliant results . Many gamers don't look at the bigger
picture . This has the spirit of Peter Gilder or Bill Gaskin in its detail
and quality .
Bravo !

Keep it up
Cecil .

Thank you  :)

Here are the cavemen and boys from my last LPL entry...



They're all Copplestone cavemen apart from the second figure from the left, who is North Star's Tarzan, and the second figure from the right who is Lucid Eye's 'Jungle Lord'. Both have had their blades carved slightly to make them look more flinty and less metallic... Both these figures are Steve Saleh sculpts. I think they fit in well enough as prehistoric types :)

Wonderful brushwork, Richard.
This whole set-up is going to be something special.
All that fleshtone would be pretty daunting to me.
 :-* :-*

I am really looking forward to it, so you had better not be running it on the Saturday.
 ;)
