From RayR - Lune/Sorcery Cooking Man and Haitian Priests (40 points)

 

Finally made it to The Inner Ring, and my first Planet to visit via Arakkis is Lune, I'll be using the Tag Witchcraft/Sorcery.

I first saw the 3 figures in this post on Stuart's blog Dust, Tears & Dice and thought I'll have to get them one day. When I saw the list of planets in the Challenge I ordered them straight away.

I already had the Cooking Man figure from Infinity Engine. Sold as Campfire with Human BBQ! Yum!

I picked that up at a show a few years ago, thinking I might need it one day for the Challenge, and that day has come!

The three North Star figures are from the Dracula's America range

The Mambo, the Bokor,  and the Houngan

A manbo (also written as mambo) is a priestess (as opposed to a oungan, a male priest) in the Haitain Vodoo religion.

A bokor (male) or caplata (female) is a Vodoo witch for hire who is said to serve the loa "with both hands", practicing for both good and evil. Their black magic includes the creation of zombies and of 'ouangas', talismans that house spirits.

Oungan (also written as houngan) is the term for a male priest in Haitian Vodou (a female priest is known as a manbo).

Rear view:

I think this could possibly be a former Plantation Owner, who was rather disliked by his subjects?

The only problem with the figures is they're tiny, as you can see in the photo. I've added a Trent mini

for scale. The North Star figures have already been double based to give them a little more height.

I'm sure they'll mix in well though, the Rejects won't even notice the size difference.  

Rebel/Slave leaders are pretty hard to come by so these will fit in well and become commanders for the Rebel/Slave army.

Points

3 x 25mm figures @ 5 pts= 15pts

Not sure how many points for the Cooking man?  I'll leave that to you Greg.

20 pts for the Lune bonus

What better way to shake off the morning doldrums than some magic and some breakfast? I'm know all of us make impulse figure purchases, although combining the fairly common thought of "I might need that for The Challenge" with the purchase of a human being cooked...well, count on Ray to deliver :) 

 

Fine work on these Ray, continuing to add character and interest to your Haitian Revolution project. I'll score the overall, let's call it "cooking base", as a 25mm figure, so five points for that and 40 points overall. Well done Ray. 

 

Now I'm hungry, and I need to find some breakfast.
