The big Gnome Wars release was what I was told was "Hawaiian" Gnomes. Since then there is great debate over the masks and dress whether they're Polynesian, Tiki, Hawaiian, and even a healthy dose of Rapa Nui (Easter Island).
I've decided for my first unit to have some diversity, so here are the Rapa Nui-inspired Hawaiian Nā Koa Pohaku: The Stone Warriors
Perhaps I don't understand Gnome physiology, but it's unclear is the figures have decorative garb completely around their necks (painted green), or if they just have very odd shoulder blades. I'm assuming in most cases, you won't see their shoulder blades... although if you're properly terrified the Island Gnomes might see yours running away.
There's also a unsubstantiated rumor that the Gnomes should be completely stone Rapa Nui, from head to toes. Does that mean the loincloth is stone too?
(Edit: I did complete the rest of the Island Gnomes, in Tiki-related style. They can be found here.

Project: 350 - I'm adding just as much as I'm finishing... almost. 481 posts "in production" (287/194) from 479 (285/194) .
I thought they were their pecs on their front and shoulder blades on their backs, but with my eyesight near 60 it's anyone's guess.
ReplyDeleteAs I do the spearmen, the ones wearing capes look like pecs, but the others will be green.
ReplyDeleteThe features are so sharp that it adds to the claim they should be all stone. THAT Would be a completely different several rules (once they’re written).
Love the Rapa Nui effect for the gnomes. Great figs!!
