My good friend, Zhodani Commando, is setting up to run a caveman game using the Tribal! rules. You can check out his beautifully painted minis over at his blog. I offered to put together some terrain for the game using the still massive pile of insulation board that I have. He happily accepted. I haven't been painting much lately so I thought that a terrain project would re-light those fires.
I dug out my old friend, Proxxie, and got to work cutting insulation board. Pretty soon I had several bits sorted out and enlisted my buddy, Mr 60-Grit, to round off some edges and get the models ready for spackle and paint. That is where things stand for the moment.
I bought this off a flea-market table at a convention a couple of decades ago,
a coat of primer was as far as I got with it, I'm sure the talented brush of Z.C. will bring out the best
it is based on a real Neolithic hut found near the Urals
cavemen really NEED to have a cave so that is what I started with
Ivar Ironchin has been recruited to lend a sense of scale, he is a proper 28mm figure
time to download some pictures of cave paintings to decorate the interior
and what Neolithic game would be complete without a stone circle?
and the cave man era simply must have an extinct volcano
eroding away to expose the basalt columns within
of course a couple of "normal" hills are required as well
as a side-dish The Housemartin asked me to give some of his surplus S-Boats a facelift to make them look like R-Boats for his Cruel Seas collection, the success of this effort remains to be seen
The greatest problem now is to resist the urge to build a complex underground cave system to go beneath the hill with the cave entrance. A couple of layers of blueboard cut up into a labyrinth of caves with campfires lit by LED lights to scare off the sabre-tooth tigers and cave-bears...........
