So I'm winding down somewhat with the stuff I need to paint for Wargames Among the Warplanes - a couple buildings that are more or less at the wash and drybrush stages, and a couple of trucks that I need to pick up more spray paint for. And as I'm working on it...I'm starting to get tired of the project, and eager for it to just be done. But with that tiredness, my energy to keep working on it is flagging.
I think a little bit of a side project might be in order just to reenergize myself. To that end, I pulled my copy of Mana Press' "Tribal" down off my shelf, and pulled out my box of cavemen purchased last year. I'd posted back in March 2024 about the Wolf Tribe, comprised of Lucid Eye Cro-Magnons and Amazons; well, I finally got them into the priming box.
I probably should have popped my Chieftain off the 25mm base and put him on a 40mm...maybe we'll figure that out later.
This gives me two formations - Warriors with Short Weapons (and we'll give them the Throwing Weapons skill to represent the atlatls they're sculpted with) and Marksmen - plus a Chieftain and Hero. That's a perfectly fine starter army for me to begin solo-playing with for practice. Dressed in buckskin, leather and furs I'm anticipating them being a fairly fast paint up as well.
The hero is a shamanic figure, sold on the Lucid Eye site as "The Wolf Mother," and while her face is a little obscured by the wolfskin she wears, I'm kind of thinking I could maybe recreate Darryl Hannah's makeup from CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR on her...
