Keep Right On...

...to the End of the Road, or in this case to the end of the newly acquired figures from Wargames Foundry and North Star Africa for The Heart of Darkness project. With these figures added to the collection there should be enough for occasional games with a variety of scenarios inspired by history and fiction ~

I am quietly confident that baring the occasional woke gamer who might drift here casually most readers will clearly understand this and others in the series are of their time. Today's values and opinions have significantly evolved, for the better in most cases, but Wallace's novels set in Colonial West Africa can provide lots of ideas for scenarios, as can the Tarzan series by Edgar Rice Burrows. Enough of that now though, back to showing the last figures for the project ~

The tribal drummer, drum, witch doctor and heap of skulls from the Congo King set sold by North Star.

I really disliked the witch doctor pose, but I'd bought it so I painted it. Its just a dark blob really! The skulls were much easier!

Probably the most controversial element of the project, carefully labelled by North Star as 'Captives' and without an illustration on the website. They are of course slaves, lets not beat about the bush; no political correctness here abouts and a highly necessary component in games featuring the Arab Slavers faction, or indeed inter-tribal conflicts. Four figures in walking and standing poses and two slave yolks in each pack. I mounted six figures yolked in pairs and two others individually for a bit of variety.

Finally, six more P'Doki Warriors to add to the tribal faction. These are from the Wargames Foundry figures I purchased at 'Ommer'ead back in the early Spring! The Lead Pimple is now devoid of any figures for The Heart of Darkness project I can report, so time to clean up and spray undercoat something else to cleanse and reinvigorate the old mojo...
