I think I mentioned Hordes of the Things (HotT) just once before here.
HotT seems like a simple enough system, and great for finishing multiple turns of a campaign game in an afternoon. And with 15mm, the minimum number of figures can be considerably inexpensive.
My daughter found a chair and started cleaning off some of our higher shelves over the weekend. She brought down this.
It's a rather small Statue of Liberty, probably snagged up by my Mother went she took a trip as a kid. Without an Antiques Roadshow to confirm it, I'd say it's a dime a dozen kitschy souvenier.
And basis for a great headquarters piece for a Planet of the Apes HotT army.
This isn't even my area of interest and I'm pondering... Does anybody make 15mm Apes with guns? Chimps? Baboons? I didn't find anything via internet searches outside of like-minded people two or three years ago.
I know some of the normal sized 25mm gorillas could be used as giants, but this is going to nagging in the back of my gaming head, and I have little time for such silliness. Any help can be appreciated.
Of course, there's the obvious question of who would I play with... but when has that stopped me?
Dropship Horizon reviewed some very large 15mm apes by Pole Bitwy that are exactly what you are looking for, but still may be of use:

I haven't seen these in person, but the ones below by Highlander Studios look like they will work well:

Correction, I meant to say that the Pole Bitwy aren't exactly what you are looking for...
DeleteWow, those aren't 15mm, they're more like 25mm Chimps. I don't know if the Eureka apes are bigger.
ReplyDeleteAnd you worry about your proportions when you sculpt, ZM. You obviously have nothing to worry about.
