Thanks Alex  :)

I only paint 'em...  ;)
(But I suspect Immac or Epilady... )

Now here are a few sample character cards from the game... I've done 30 of these in total...

Basically it tells you who the character is (name); their physical strength / resilience (Mighty / Strong / Weakling); and a wound record track (because different wound locations will have different debilitating effects long before death comes knocking... )

The fire marker will signify whether the character has managed to kindle a torch or brand to light their way in the caves (more on this in the rules).

The weapon is as shown on the miniature although it's pretty irrelevant - unless it's a bow, which is different and useful - since in these rules all stone-age hand-to-hand weapons (spears, clubs, axes, knives) are equally inefficient.

Two of the characters in the pool are shamans. There is a special ability which goes with them.

Any character with 'old' in their name will only be able to walk, not run.

As you can see from the bottom card below, some characters have no weapon at all. They are weaklings, they are old, and they can't run...

Unfortunately they still count towards victory when it comes to getting your family through to the valley of plenty...
>:D

Excellent ideas, with the varying strengths.
Although, I suspect that some of these fella's will get renamed at BLAM.

Thanks all  :)

I've finished off some more Copplestone cavemen.
Not sure yet whether these will be 'hostiles' in the game (cos they do all look a bit grumpy) or cast as members of the nice cave people pool...
This may depend on how many more cavemen I can be bothered to paint...
Getting a bit bored with them now - and I still have a whole batch of Lucid Eye Neanderthals to do.
Plus about another 20 assorted Copplestone / Reaper cave people, I could paint... ::)

Anyway, all I can say is:
