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?


Top view

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!

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain. I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them   Mimic from Bad Squiddo Gribbly Sushi? Catch of the day!   Another Grenadier 1984 from Brian's collection - possible Flesh Golem? Pants! Quick job, but fun   TT Combat Halfling adventuers, a barbarian, a fighter, a ranger (with squirrel), a mage, and a bard (with bagpipes) Rough bunch Distancing themselves from the Bard! Fireball!   Really random. Converted GW 1990s halfling on a Ral Patha sheep - a ram raider! There are quite a few more of these to do, but this one fell off the lead pile while I was looking for something else. He ...

Legion Imperialis 8mm - Civitas ruins boxed set.

Terrain box (Civitas ruins) painted up Honestly took me longer to build it than it did to paint! But there may be a reason for that Someone needs a word with their structural surveyor! I mean, the build quality here is awful. At least the marines will have somewhere to hide It's about an A3 of ruined stuff It's been trashed Comes with a lot of scatter  The rest of the club was doing it, so I had to do it!  Looking through the various Legions from the Horus Herasy, I decided... Nope. Don't like them. Stick to what you know. 'Stick 'Em In The Eye - It's the Emperor's Pointy Sticks' So, seven years after I painted the 'Emperor's Pointy Sticks' in 6mm, GW have released Legion Imperialis in 8mm. Marine booster pack painted up, group photos! Mixed bag About 100 extra points on table!  "Did I miss the photoshoot?" *FACEPALM* These are the ones I've be...
