Pray for the prey, predators are predating

More Skræling/commanche warriors for either Saga or Xenos Rampant - these are for me!
The whole batch
 
 
Eight warriors


Go lads!


Charge!


Attack!

Archers


Twang


Not wearing much!


Hunting or hunted?

Skraelings from Footsore Miniatures.

Twelve archers, eight warriors, another hero and five totems. That gives me a three point Skraelings warband at the moment, or three Xenos Rampant primative infantry units and a general.
Warriors


Shield patterns are based around surviving Commanche shields so they blend in with my other batch.


Good looking guys!


Hope no-one minds me mixing cultures, byut the Commanche have an awful lot more research than the Thule people/Skraelings!


Advance!


Not heaily armoured, but hit and run specialists


Levy archers, less well equiped sorts.


Lots of animation in them.

Fun figures to paint


War chief


Bossy bossy!


Already looming over  the rest of his tribe!


Totems - five different sorts, each one has a different effect in Saga, but they look cool too. I went as natural as I could for these, although the tempation was to go primary colours, it did not feel right without more research into Thule colour usage.


Couger, beaer, elk, bear, eagle

My main Xmas present, arrived in two parts, the first part a series of 3-d prints via Etsy. Figures from 'Prey'



The second part arrived today and will hit the painting table tomorrow.
Yautja vs Commanche.
One of my all time favourite movies is Predator and more especially Predator II (which I snuck out of home to watch to while I was recuperating from flu in 1990, aged 15 to watch an 18, but enough of that), I was not perticularlly impressed by further sequels, but the Prey came out and I REALLY enjoyed it.

I looked and looked for Naru, the hero of the film, until I came across this warband on Etsy, and ordered it.

Naru, just perfect sculpt, and lovely to paint.


Full of detail


Even her tomahawk on a rope


That's a faceoff and a half


The Yautja, not the full feral Yautja, and not the techno predators of the earlier films, but close.


It's a great sculpt/print


Good blades Mupitsl


Hunting the Commanche hunters, featuring Taabe, Wasape, Huupi, and Paaka, who will no doubt be used as Primative Infantry in Xenos Rampant and Skraelings for Saga or in Black Powder as local tribes or...


Great poses


The cloak was a lot of fun


I know who I'm backing here!

Mortal Gods - Three Sided scrap - finding the treasure.

Typhon woke up, his head was banging, and there would definitely be a new scar on hi sarm... "Nice to see you can take a knock too!" Leandros looked over at the archer. Polykratos sat on a nearby boulder, helmet and shield at his feet, sword bloodied, he was smiling at his two fellow fighters. "Nice to see you two sleepy heads. By the way, we won! Spartans and Etruscans all sent packing, treasures secrured!" Dave, David and I met up for a game of Mortal Gods. Mark was meant to be joining us, but he had to call off. This is only a quick report, as we were haing too much of a laugh! Six objecties were scattered across the field, which you have to find and hold until the end of turn 5. One would go live on a roll of '6', if an action was expended on it. The others then are empty. Three sides means two corners and an edge. 450 points each. I was nearest, Dave the other corned, David the opposite edge.My standard warband took to the field, with their eyes firmly...
