More pulp-era sailors, from Pulp Figures this time! These guys are all from the Tramp Steamer Sailors 2 set in Murch's Savage Seas line--except for Oleg the Brute, who comes from the Pulp Heroes and Personalities: Trans-Siberian Renegades set. These are all 28-mm or so, smaller than most Reaper minis--but that means more weight available for their valuable, perhaps contraband cargo.
Here's First Mate Bombay Joe, always ready for any development; and Salty Nils the Sour Swede. (Nils got a bad priming job which gives him a bit of a skin condition.) Marvelous expressions in these faces--stern attention to duty and envious disgruntlement.
Here's rowdy crewmen "Red" Mulvaney and Oleg the Brute:
And Cole P. Stoker and Captain Vanderdecken.
This crew can get you to Skull Island and back...for the right price, of course!

Julie Guthrie knows how to sculpt 'em! I love the twisted locks of hair on this lady, who meets the decency standards of the forum by fractions of a millimeter.
And while we're on a kick of well-built tropical adventurers with a healthy disdain for pants, here's Todd Harris's Jaatu. An excellent sculpt in the grand Imaro fashion, with dragon/crocodile armor and an axe that you KNOW does more than just hack at things. Axes with faces are not to be trifled with.
Both of these are perfect for the Chultan-set Tomb of Annihiliation, which I'm running currently.

An elaborate sculpt, overflowing with detail in the Pathfinder fashion. (I swear, at least one of their artists must have a Thing for buckles and straps). Jigeke here has an excellent mask and a very long spear, a diverse collection of severed hands and paws, and a patchwork kilt of many kinds of hide. I know there's zebra and giraffe in there, and leopard as well.
It's Robert E. Howard's birthday today, and without him we probably wouldn't have the Barbarian class as a thing (see: Conan the), or Serpent-folk as insidious infiltrators (see: Kull), or puritan monster-hunters (see: Solomon Kane) as pulp/fantasy tropes. So it seems good to commemorate him with a guy who could be a good stand-in for N'Longa, Kane's sorcerous blood-brother and recurring ally.

I gave the third rifleman to a friend, so there won't be another post on this coming.
Today is the 140th anniversary of both Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift, so this seemed pretty apropos.
Regimental colors are not the best camouflage.

"Mbuyu, do the English drink rocks? I do not know what is in this barrel, but it surely cannot be water!"
"Ha, Patrice, who knows what they choose to bring? I think this package is nothing but shoes that will get swallowed by mud as soon as the English puts them on, and fine shirts to be torn by thorns."
"I would feel easier in this if it were not the errand of one touched by madness. It is bad fortune to hunt here; Nzembo says this place is haunted by--"
"Nzembo will say anything when he is full of palm wine. The English wants to hunt gorillas on the mountain where no one has ever come back with a dead gorilla, and he is paying us up-front."
"Paying us to kill ourselves under the weight of his baggage, more like! How can you be smiling, Mbuyu?"
"Because, Patrice, I think our contract of employment may be terminated early. Walk quietly..."
"Quiet your deuced racket, you two! ! I know there's one of those infernal apes around here...can smell the brute."
"Be the toast of the Explorer's Club when I come back with an ape big as a man. Bigger! *That* will show Lord Bleicester! Shut him right up!"
"You two dashed imbeciles, can't you tread quietly back there? Crashing about like an elephant, you'll scare the game away!"
