Title: Random creations?

With the launch of our new Samurai Apes, what's the most random piece of Fantasy gaming you've attempted?!

I'm really happy with the Apes, they've turned out really well.  We might need some opposition for them at some point though.  I've got a few bits in the Fantasy pipeline that I'm attempting myself, so I'll see how they turn out.

They *do* look pretty funky - not that I need any *more* gaming distraction..!

Are there pictures?

What inspired the range?  The Tim Burton 'Planet of the Apes' movie?

It was actually my 6 year old who came up with the idea!  He started pestering me about them towards the end of last year, so we got them done.  He actually wanted 'Ninja Monkey's, but it's close enough!

The photo's of the masters are on the Flickr account here:

I haven't had chance to take any more yet, but I will as soon as I get chance.

They're great!   :D

But do you think they'll sell in numbers?

I hope so!  We'll have to see, but I think they're something that can be used in various scenario's, from a basic Fantasy game, to putting them up against our historical Samurai.  I'll do some opposition for them at some point, it's just getting the time to do so.
