There is more from the...

Despite the rather warm spell for late May I've still managed a little time wielding the Brush of Doom.  The current victims are more of the Foundry figures I picked up at 'Ommer'ead,  supplemented by a Copplestone Castings Chieftain and some Foundry Askaris I picked up at the recent Partizan. The single Askari figure will join the Colonial elements in future games while the base of two figures is versatile enough to serve the Arab Slavers, the Ruga-Ruga and even muster into an Explorer's expedition. The single female warrior will join King Bykalaizii m'Tuubi's Maiden Guards of course ~
The Warriors with spears and round hide shields will join their fellows in the P'Doki element of future games. 
They might resist Colonial forces under Robinson of the River, ally with Arab Slavers for a quick profit, ambush an Explorer's or Big Game Huner's expedition, or even defend the Lost City of R'Nzli against exploitation by a determined archaeological expedition ~
That's it now for a while, as Sue and I are off for some R&R down in the South West. Fingers crossed for better weather than is currently forecast for next week! I'll close with an old friend you will have seen before ~

  3. Well done on managing to paint during this rather warm spell David! Excellent work as always:). At 6.00am it was 22C in the hallway, which was a bit of a surprise for that time of the morn. Last night the car showed 40C when i popped out to see a friend, which made holding the steering wheel a bit of a challenge! Love the poster of RotR! Enjoy your break and let's hope the weather does improve...

    1. Currently 31.5°C here this afternoon! Managed to finish two more figures and vegetate their bases. I hoped that the poster would strike a chord with someone. My money was on you or Norm.

  5. Most splendid! I suppose I had better get rebasing my collection. There is sure to be some fair lady in need of rescue from the clutches of those nefarious natives.
