Nice minis! Although it's curious that this is the third Tupi range in 15mm that I'm aware of (after those of Grumpy and Eureka). Is the army really that popular?
Edit: fourth range! I forgot about the one from Gladiator.

Eureka's own Tupi are 25mm. The 15mm Tupi sold by Eureka are the Grumpy range (although Eureka have a 15mm range of Amazonians which are not Tupi). |

Those look really awesome. Mr. K. (and the painter who painted those figures) have really outdone themselves.

When I looked the IV/29 Tupi list and saw the new option for Solid Longbows, my first reaction was, "What's the point?" With the Tupis' very short list of historical opponents, they won't face many Knights or Camels in CC.
My good friend, Eric Donaldson, promptly sent off a pre-order for these new Tupis with the Fast Bows option. His kinda army, he said (presumably referring to their Fast Bw & Fast Wb, and not for their unusual dietary practices). I got to thinking that maybe the Solid Longbow option might actually have its advantages in an "all-cannibals" tilt, given their ability to Recoil Fast Bows if beaten in CC or by shooting.
Prepping my own order now. We'll soon find out which version is better --and tastier!

I'll happily trade the recoil if tied for the ability to zip at full speed through the jungle. Firewood for cooking pots being gathered now. I wonder what kind of side dish goes best with slow footed bow?

If the 3Wb had been classified as 3Bd, as could easily have been the case, this army would have been AWESOME!

Very nice!
As noted though, there are other lines out there.

Buy enough for Solid bows, but mount three on a base with a space to add one. Convertible bows.
