Ladies first.
|

Does that look like dry rot to you?
|
|
Sea of Trees
Still in the jungle.
|
|
Sea of Trees
Cowboys and gentlemen settle their debts.
|
|
Sea of Trees
More gentlemen move to join the fray.
|
|
Sea of Trees
It's like a bar room brawl, without the bar and the room.
|
|
Sea of Trees
The lone mummy reaches the top.
|

Avid player.
|

Sea of Trees
Looks like the cowboys drew the short straw this time.

The Prussian Princess.

Escape From Castle ZX
A prison break during tea time? How inconsiderate...
|

Escape From Castle ZX
The Egyptians look for a way out.

The press is always there.

Another of Hassan's henchmen is freed.

Can this end well?
|

Escape From Castle ZX
Aagh! It's coming!
|

Escape From Castle ZX
These corridors are way too tight for our fancy new bases!

Let's hide here, maybe it won't see us.

The moment of truth is at hand.

Muskets and Tomahawks
The brave French advance...
|

Muskets and Tomahawks
...and then they retreat back into cover.
|

Muskets and Tomahawks
The house has not been approved by the Settlement Aesthetic Commission in Paris. Its roof ornaments are all wrong!

The boys in blue advance again.

Smoke pours from the house. The valiant French come to the aid!
|

Even more smoke! The inhabitants must be saved!
|

The locals mistake the visitors for those dastardly British and escape from the back door.

Luckily they are caught and the misunderstanding is cleared up.

Tribal Warriors
And here they are!
|
|
Tribal Warriors
I like these. They are among my favorites of the tribal styles together with the Azande and their wicker shields.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
The lovely ladies.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
And the men.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
The obligatory overhead view.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
I pinched the shields from my Greeks. For some reason Black Tree has been sending me these with some of the hoplite models.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
These are all Darkest Africa models from Foundry.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
I hand-painted the shield designs. They are probably totally bogus. I didn't really care for doing the common sawtooth design.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
I Probably should have left more of the bases bare.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
These were almost all of my models with this particular hairstyle.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
I found the white beads to give best contrast to the reddish hair.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
The men were substantially easier to do, they have far less detail parts compared to the ladies.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
The leopard spots are still not quite convincing.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
I had a bit of trouble equipping them with uniform shields. I probably should have ordered more shields.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
All the loinclothes are white. Maybe I should have put in one pink just to throw a curveball.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
Another view of the shields. All designs are unique, mostly because I probably couldn't duplicate them even if I wanted to...
|
|
Tribal Warriors
Ok, here's the next batch.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
These are all Foundry Darkest Africa minis, which I happen to like very much.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
The obligatory overhead view.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
Pushing forward to victory.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
I like doing these shield patterns.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
Some ladies were left over from the last batch.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
Daylight makes such a difference. Even on an overcast day like this I'm getting exposure times in the hundreds instead of the usual tens I get indoors...
|
|
Tribal Warriors
These are all pretty basic jobs.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
A closer look at the ladies. They are actually all unique poses though the two on the sides are very similar.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
I still haven't quite gotten the hang of the shield pattern.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
Where is she? Where did the giant pine cone come from?
|
|
Tribal Warriors
It must be the Lost Valley of Westwood where giants live!
|
|
Tribal Warriors
Our brave warrior is unfazed.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
Rear view.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
Some leader types.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
More tribal warriors arrive.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
This is a bit mixed batch, the basic warriors are from a Foundry horde set while some of the more exotic ones I sepcifically bought.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
The obligatory overhead view.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
Archers. There is also some misting evident that came from the new varnish can... I have to see if the problem persists.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
I really liked painting the masks.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
Could have been a little more elaborate with the feathered head dresses.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
Unfortunately my horde set did not contain enough shields in the same style to give these guys a uniform appearance. So this is the wooden shield batch and the next ones will have to with reed ones.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
Closer look at the command section.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
Basic warriors.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
The masked club.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
More masked merriness.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
Masked archers join the fun.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
Closer look at the masked archers.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
The September Boys are here!
|
|
Tribal Warriors
This was a bit mixed bag as I'm scraping the bottom of the colonial figures barrel.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
The obligatory overhead view.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
Witch doctors.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
The personalities to the fore.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
A fair bit of masked warriors join the fray.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
The reed shields were actually pretty fun to paint.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
Hmmm... what was I thinking with this picture.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
I have idea if the patterns were painted on or woven.
|
|
Tribal Warriors
Another look at the heroes.
|
|
Masked Avengers
Here's a group photo of all the masked Africans I have. At least I think. There might be a couple more somewhere.
|
|
Masked Avengers
The witch doctors lead the men. I don't think there are any masked women in Foundry's range, though you could do a head swap if you really wanted one.
|
|
Masked Avengers
The witch doctors line up.
|
|
Masked Avengers
Some masked archers too.
|
|
Masked Avengers
Masked warriors with reed shields.
|
|
Masked Avengers
Masked warriors with hide shields.
|
|
Masked Avengers
Masked warriors with wooden shields. These were all pretty good fun to paint.
|
|
Masai Warriors
For some reason I had feathered head dress packs 1 and 3, but not 2...
|
|
Masai Warriors
My Masai warriors join the fray!
|
|
Masai Warriors
The obligatory overhead view.
|
|
Masai Warriors
These are all Foundry 28mm models.
|
|
Masai Warriors
The shield designs are totally from my imagination.
|
|
Masai Warriors
Perhaps the hair could have used another layer of wash...
|
|
Masai Warriors
Ok, some shield designs here.
|
|
Masai Warriors
Another couple examples. I tried something with the last one but it didn't quite work out the way I wanted.
|
|
Masai Warriors
The zigzag is probably the least correct design.
|
|
Masai Warriors
Yeah, I'm too lazy to do sawtooth designs...
|
|
Masai Warriors
The last two, woohoo!
|
|
Explorers Assemble
The final batch is done.
|
|
Explorers Assemble
The obligatory overhead view.
|

There's a couple of famous faces there plus more member for the Brotherhood of the Cork Helmet.
|

The ladies lead the way.
|
|
Explorers Assemble
The two redcoats are WI freebies I got a while back.
|
|
Explorers Assemble
She is a Foundry freebie. Yes, you know the one I'm talking about.
|
|
Explorers Assemble
Stanley and Baker, my interpretation.
|
|
Explorers Assemble
I checked some references but in the end I went with my own vision.
|
|
Explorers Assemble
Ha! Finally the Carruther Brothers have met their match! Or have they...
|
|
Explorers Assemble
It's never too late for tea.
|
|
Explorers Assemble
I got these as freebies from Wargames Illustrated a while back. They are characters from the Zulu war, but I forget what exactly.
|
|
Explorers Assemble
I think they are actually supposed to be two versions of the same character.
|
|
Explorers Assemble
The ladies assemble for a nice afternoon tea with a modicum of revolver work.
|
|
Explorers Assemble
I always enjoy painting ladies in dresses. They're like open canvas except I can't really do anything with open canvas.
|
|
Explorers Assemble
I ran out of dry grass tufts, that's why everyone has flowers on their bases.
|
|
Explorers Assemble
The foremost lady is in what I call an anime color scheme. It's Foundry Wine Red and Nipple Pink. Unfortunately the Wine Red base was a really weak color, I couldn't paint in on black at all and it almost didn't take on light gray either.
|
|
Explorers Assemble
I call her Ororo.
|
|
Explorers Assemble
She's a Foundry freebie from way back. I think she was actually supposed to be an elf of some sort.
|
|
Explorers Assemble
I chose this color scheme intentionally. Maybe you can place it?
|
|
Explorers Assemble
And I still can't do 3-color metallics.
|
|
Explorers Assemble
She was pretty fun to do. Maybe I should do a batch of bare-chested barbarians in 3-color next...
|
|
Explorers Assemble
Closer look at the two ladies.
|
|
Research material
I happened upon this at the bookstore. This is actually a subject that is not covered very well in English language books -- and virtually not at all in gaming. The Light Brigade wasn't there, so gives a hoot, right?

These are West Wind figures from the Empire of the Dead Kickstarter.
|
|
Peelers
They are a bit more slender than I really like.
|

Peelers
Finding references for the uniform turned out to be more difficult than I thought.
|
|
Peelers
I like how they are authentic without any steam gizmos.
|
|
Peelers
Sticking it up.
|
|
Peelers
I went with very neutral bases to blend in both city and countryside.

Victorian riders
They're a bit too close to each other really.

Victorian riders
The lady was a bit of a chore to get on the bike.
|
|
Victorian riders
The law watches over things.
|
|
Victorian riders
I rather like the black horse actually.
|
|
Victorian riders
Hmmm... better focus this time. Why didn't I just delete the other picture?
|
|
Victorian riders
Not really sure how authentic the uniform is. There are probably small mistakes here and there.

These are mostly Foundry but a few very old Dixon models are mixed in.

I really resisted the idea of painting everyone black.

Still, the colors are pretty drab.

Basing city characters is always a problem.
