Mammoth Hunt

Some pics of a Mammoth Hunt game I ran two years ago at Historicon.

Mammoths are plastic models from a variety of sources. I did some conversion work on the adults' heads, necks and trunks to give many of them more dynamic poses. Cut the head off, repose, pin, then green stuff to redo the neck, trunk and hump. (Then repainted them all.) Worked out pretty well. Cavemen are a mix of Copplestone, Pulp Figures and Reaper, with some modifications to get more variety. Other animals are a mix -  horses (repainted from plastic model zebras), megaceros from DeeZee, and the odd cave bear and cave lion from Ral Partha.



In the below pic, the mammoth on the left is an original model. The other three show some of the converted head and trunk poses.

    1. Thanks. I have several sets of rules that I've tried out, but haven't found exactly what I want. Will probably cabbage together a mix and throw in some home grown mods...

    2. I'd suggest playing "Far Cry - Primal" (the computer game) for inspiration -quite possible my favourite compy game of all time!

  4. Not familiar with it but I will check it out. (I try to stay away from comp games, as they are way too addictive!)
