Some Yan Koryani
Painted by Akarsh
I was disappointed when North Star cancelled (or put on hold?) the plastic box of Dricheans, the Bronze Age city state faction from Frostgrave: Ghost Archipelago. The reason being that, as a Tekumel gamer, I am constantly looking for Proxies to add to my armies!
The other day, however, a friend of mine showed me that sometimes the shoe is on the other foot. He said: "Your Tekumel figures would make good Dricheans!" And I thought, you know, I think he might be onto something! But you guys be the judge...

What does this all mean?
I gather Frostgrave: Ghost Archipelago uses fairly small forces. Which is good b/c some of the accessories I have in only limited quantities (i.e some of the shields, and some figure poses).
I am currently offering a sale >>> HERE <<< which I have extended until the 19th of January.
Basically, almost everything in the Tekumel Project range is 40% off - just like a Tekumel Club member. Not the DAD 3D printed figures.
I normally sell in packages of 10 for $40 CAD ($24 CAD after Tekumel Club discount).
I can put together custom Drichean packs to your specification: choose the body and shield design - and I'll add the accessories like helmet plumes or sidearms, where appropriate. So 10 custom figures for $2.40 CAD each.
Email me at: green27 -at- sympatico -dot- ca to begin.
And, I hope you are having a happy holidays and that this will help to start 2020 off right! :-)
Hi, I've been following your posts with interest for a while. But while I have a decent mental grasp on Tekumel, I confess that one thing eludes me. I am overwhelmed by all the varieties of helmets, shields and color schemes for the "typical" soldier from each of the five empires. Is there a simple one or two page illustration to be found somewhere that I could use as a cheat sheet? Then maybe I could start thinking about investing in more minis... :o
ReplyDeleteSo, no help for me? The only thing I've determined for myself is that Yan Kor seems to favor those tall helmets with a brim, while Tsolyanu often uses a helmet that looks a little Roman, IE with some sort of crest.
ReplyDeleteApologies! I guess the short answer is "No, there isn't a simple cheat sheet!" The only easy thing is that there tend to be National colours. i.e Yan Kor - green, Tsolyanu - blue, Mu'ugalavya - red. But that said, it is easy to find units that don't follow the "rules". If you contact me direct, via the address shown here: http://thetekumelclub.blogspot.com/p/tekumel-club.html I can try and elaborate. Or start a thread on Facebook or Chirene's ProBoards.
