Pulp Heart of Africa range

[Maenoferren]

Hello there, I love my pulp games, I do a lot of pulp role play and games normally in 28mm. HOwever it would be good if I could get a smaller range as in 10mm so that I can play big games on a small table.

So is there any chance of a Darkest Africa range, or even do some combining of other ranges so that I wouldnt have to buy full packs of 30 boers to get 2 hunters.

I would envisage....
Hunters male and female
Bearers
native types
things to hunt - the big 5 would be a good start.
then for the added pulpy feel
dinosaurs
Ape men etc....

Apologies if this has been raised in the forums elsewhere.
Cheers
Stephen

We've got a few things that could be used.  There should be enough hunter type poses in the Boer War range, but there wouldn't be any female ones.  I suppose a couple of blobs of green stuff could fix that!  http://www.pendraken.co.uk/Colonial-c16/Boer-War-sc103/

There's the Masai tribesmen in the East Africa range (http://www.pendraken.co.uk/NEA3-p4063/)

We've got some dinosaurs as well.  There's a tyrannosaur, stegosaur, raptors and some smaller dinosaurs, all in the Fantasy range.  We do have a triceratops but the leg needs fixing.

For hunting prey, we've got some Rhino's (http://www.pendraken.co.uk/AC35-p5154/)you could have a pop at.  There's also tigers (in Africa?!) and some Bison!

I'm stumped with the Ape Men though.  The Samurai Apes in the Fantasy range are all in Japanese armour, so wouldn't quite fit.

Strangely enough I have spent the last few hours trawling though the website to see what I could find.
I have come up with this list...so far 

FSA8 tigers
NEA3 Masai
NEA4 porters
GEA1 Askari
AC21 Pack mules
AC35 Rhino
ME21 open top tourer
ME27 Phoenix scout
SCV1 20's/30's truck

And for the more fantasy side

AC11 dinosaurs
AC15 giant spiders
F19 flying dino

I need about 10 boers with rifles  no beards(  : ) and I am well on the way

The soviet naval infantry ( SV19) would be good for an armed freighter crew figure.

[Maenoferren]

oooh forgot the armed freighter crew.... now need a big monkey (well ape) and I will be a ble to tell this story I have just invented about a lost island where the natives live in thrall of a giant ape and a film crew arrives to make a film but capture the Ape God andt ake it back to New York where it escapes and climbs the Empire state building and then gets shot by airplanes....and dies, well I suppose you would falling from the top of the Empire state building, especially full of machine gun bullets!

I think I might be onbto a winner here... only need a director to make the film and my millions will be assured

[Zbigniew]

For big monkey type maybe fantasy trolls could be used

[Blaker]

Man, I cant wait for the movie!!!      Yes maybe the trolls would be a good sub for apes?  Then there are the swarms of bats and flying lizards(dragons) and the new Giant Owls, all worthy of being hunted by the Pulp crowd. . .

Looks like you have found most of what you need, maybe you and Leon could swap ideas about putting together a "Pulp Package"  

However, Leon, you gave us great links to what you thought would be good but, where are the pictures of those minis you linked us too  

Sooo many uses for 10mm - it GREAT!!!

[Maenoferren]

I also have a cunning idea for a series of films based around an archaeologist named Idaho James. He basically is a daring do archaeologist who scours the world for amazing treasures. I was thinking something religious for the first one, set in 1936 trying to stop the nazi's from getting it first .

here he is searching on a dig near some terracota warriors

[Blaker]

That's Grrrreat!  Idaho James, yes, yes I could see you doing at least 3 movies before doing a final 4th one that would blow chunks. Maybe one movie could be reenacted in a dungeon - yeah in a 10mm dungeon with all sorts of nasties chasing our daring hero and his cohorts.  Maybe even have a crystal something he has to find while trying to outwith the fiendish Draken Master 

[Blaker]

You know, they do have Desert Rats 

[Maenoferren]

I was thinking Idaho would need a quirky weapon, so he uses his archaeologist's trowel tied to a bit of rope which he uses to swing across chasms etc.

Stick the order through as normal, but don't make the payment.  Then send us an email with the extra bits you need, and we'll price it all up and send you a PayPal invoice for it.

If the order is in before midnight, it'll be priced up before the increase.

cool on its way now
