Better Pics Added...

Jeff primed the samples and has sent some new pictures. NOW we can see the detail!

Note that the arms for the Swamp Folk with the 2-handed axe are separate, they just fit so well they sit in place without any glue. 

Some Preview Figures...

Swamp Folk, sculpted by Ian Mountain

Jeff has sent me some test castings of our up-coming Swamp Folk and Tinalíya figures! Yay!

Here are the Tinalíya, sculpted by Faron Betchley. The arms are being cast separately in metal so as to be more easily pose-able.  The limbs of the Tinalíya are like little globes making them essentially miniature alien Michelin Men. With metal arms they player will be able to bend them to suit...

Tinalíya (L-to-R: Soldier, Civilian, Soldier and Noble/Sorcerer)

The Swamp Folk consist of two armed marines and a civilian. The intent is to get some more variants done: an armoured chieftain, some more marines with boat hooks and axes and perhaps a civilian with a staff.

I also have an idea to do some semi-submerged for amphibious operations...

Resin castings by Jeff Trnka of JTFM. The Tinalíya arms will be cast by RAFM.

Update: Jeff has just reminded me axe wielding figure is in two pieces - the weapon and arms are a separate piece from the body.

The March of the Tinys!

Finished Tinalíya, by Faron Betchly

They stand 12mm from feet to eye. Very nice! :-)

Update: The greens arrived yesterday. The plan is to get the arms and accessories done in metal, the bodies in resin. They look really nice up close!

The "Tinys" are Coming...

Tinalíya Sketch, by Faron Betchly

Faron sent me this preliminary sketch of the Tinalíya figures he has started working on. IIRC, we worked out that they should be 12mm tall to be in scale with our figures.

In the past I have always ignored the Tinalíya. For some reason I just never paid any attention to them. This year, however, I have begun to see their potential and I now rank them among my best liked of Tékumel's alien races. In a way they are like Hobbits - there is more to them than meets the eye...
