Darkest Africa scenery is pretty done and the miniature painting is well underway:

Wow ! That is some impressive table !
-
Beautiful work!
-
Awsome!, as well as inspiring :-*

Loving that and your rhino is so much better painted than mine🤨

Lovely terrain.
Cool looking hill fort.
Look forward to seeing your figures on it.
-
What a great fort. Love the huts too.
-
That looks like a fantastic table for adventures!
-
Wow, a simply breathtaking table! I wish that I was half as good with my terrain, something I am trying to rectify.
-
That is a great looking table!
-
Yes a great looking table. ;D ;D :D

It's terrible. Just terrible, I say. All that nice terrain, quite adventurous including a couple of ruins. But just terrible. While the fowl might slake their thirst with the morning dew, where will the poor rhino get a drink?! lol

Always good to see these guys. Some of my favourite figures ever, Copplestone's Ngoni. Nice one.
I'm hoping that at some point we'll see them get an outing on that table layout you showed us a little while back. That will be quite something.

I was torn between the Ngoni and the Zulus, so I just decided to collect both, it will make for some interesting tribal warfare games.
Now that I have several factions painted, this winter will see a DitDC campaign, I have an idea to link them with some Congo games.

That'd be cool. I find myself increasingly drawn to the idea of all-African battles, and leaving the Europeans out of it for a change.
I guess technically that wouldn't be Colonial Adventures, and I'd have to post about it on some other board. But that would be silly. :)

The Ngoni military machine was based on the formation of national regiments comprising of different age-sets from the various clans. The age-set system with it's general division of cattle herders (pre-warrior age), warriors and senior men (post-warrior age) is a common feature of Bantu social organisations.

These prime fighters would often form up as part of the "chest" when the Ngoni adopted the "buffalo horns" attack formation and were expected to deliver the coup de grace to the enemy.

Africans could colonise other parts of Africa. It's a big place.

The Ngoni are a good example of a nation who actually did this very thing.

Very nice!

Are those rocks at the beginning made from upholstery foam?

Are those rocks at the beginning made from upholstery foam?
No buddy, it's either blue or white polstrene sheets, carved into shape and textured.
-
OK, thanks - the shapes reminded me of some rocks I've seen made by plucking chuncks of upholstery foam, then painted with some latex/paint mix (I think), that's why I asked.
Must have taken quite some skill with a knife to get those shapes! :)
-
I have seen the type of foam rocks you refer to, however, you wouldn't be able to achieve such a high level of detail with that type of material.

Yeah, just stick a bit of jungle around a tomb and you have a great Congo layout.

Very nice my Lord !!

Striking!
Still love those figures, amongst my favourite ever. And you've done them justice.
-
They look great!

I have just learnt how to use the macro feature on my camera phone and it's made a massive difference to the quality of the miniature pics.
-
Great looking collection.
-
Very nice...
-
Wow, they really pop, great job Raglan.
-
Copplestone are lovely miniatures and look great individually and on mass.
I also have a bucketload of unpainted Black Tree Zulu staring at me from shedHQ, but they look a bit dated in comparison to Copplestone.

Great job Raglan, awesome collection! I’m loving this thread.

I don't mean to be pedantic but isn't Voodoo a Caribean/Floridian type of thing?
(I'm really not being a pain)
-
I think you might find it originated in Africa, anyway, my boys get around a bit ;)

I think you might find it originated in Africa
According to Wiki it came from around the Caribean, the very southern tip of the US and the Spanish Empire:

Admiral Hawtrey was going to call his dog Voodoo, but as he was an English bulldog and not African, he could not bring himself to do so, what a pedantic old fool the admiral was ;D

Nice work....

Cheers Darrell

All very nice but am I the only one finding the photos with the dark background a bit of a challenge for seeing the photos - except the Watuta with their white headdresses? I think I understand the reasoning and perhaps better than the white backgrounds where some of the items washed out if not in the front of the focal plane (depth of field?). Still, makes it harder for me to focus on that fine work.

I actually prefer a dark background to a lighter one. For starters, feeling rather counter-intuitive, it can be harder to get the lighting right the lighter the background I have found.

Thank you for the advice, but I can assure you, my miniatures look much better in low light, preferably pitch black to make them look stunning ;)

Really nice work. This is the third thread of yours I have looked at tonight.One question I have,how do you do it ? o_o.How do you do so much.It's not like you paint a few figures and that's it as you create whole worlds.My hat's off to you.
Mark
-
I don't make any of the terrain, this is out sourced to friends such as David Marshal and Tony Bragg.
As for the miniatures, much of this stuff is batch painted, boring as hell but it does allow you to get stuff on the table quickly
-
Dave Marshall is great.He made something for me once.
Mark

The bloke is a frigging genius

Some great stuff on this thread. I have a soft spot for Ngoni I'm in the middle of painting my own army of them at the moment.

Belgium's Force Publique Command Group

Under Leopold II the Force Publique was described as an "exceptionally brutal army". One major purpose of the Force was to enforce the rubber quotas and other forms of forced labour.

I don't have these anymore but here are some I had done once.I also have these nice figures from the Crisis 2019 show in Belgium representing Lt.Lippens and Sgt.DeBruyne who was killed by Sefu in 1892.A very nice person sent them to me.

Nicely done Mark!!
Interestingly, a very kind person has offered to send me that little vignette after seeing this Force on Twitter, there really is some lovely people in this hobby.

Looking - again - at your Force Publique figures and I realized there is a good option for those of us who prefer 15 mm figures: use Louisiana Tiger Zouaves mixed with Egyptian askari figures and get from a couple of manufacturers to add some variety and a credible unit can be assembled. Unless someone makes these figures in 15 mm already but I don't know of any.

Cool! Lovely spread, great looking game and I always like to see the Ngoni in action.
That would be a bit of a giant-killing cup upset there. Historically the Ngoni were the ones getting massacred. There's a reason we have a movie called 'Zulu' but there isn't one called 'Ngoni.' :)
-
Nice! lovely set up and miniatures. Definitely a complete reversal of history the few actual engagements between the British and the Ngoni all went the way if the British. Most famously the British invasion of Mpezeni's kingdom, in what is now Zambia, were the Central African rifles backed by Maxim guns and artillery made short work of The Ngoni in several clashes.
-
...or, when the British open fire at point blank range, the Ngoni are stopped in their tracks - except on the left flank!??? Perhaps more to come. Or maybe the massacre comment is foretelling and there are no survivors to explain what happened to the colonial authorities come to investigate.
Yes, cool terrain, like the railway and associated buildings. Interesting arrangement of the turnout/switch that we say and the "implied" one that we don't on the main line - it works okay visually.
Any Ngoni know how to operate the telegraph? Problems ahead for the next train?
-
Many thanks gents 🙏
For the record, I am definitely a “Hollywood Historian”, so as long as the period looks right to most people who have seen it in a movie, that’s as much actual history as I require in a wargame 😎
-
Re: "Hollywood Historians", fun bit (maybe shared here on LAF before?):
Historian on Titanic movie, after the first one got fired, shared at a local in person event not long after movie's release that in discussions with James Cameron, director, it became clear that when it was a battle between art and history, art wins. Historian was a 'local' writer who wrote a book about the ship.
So you are in very good company - unless you don't think James Cameron is good company (which maybe his ex-wife might agree but hell if I know! :o).
-
Please don't take my comment as any kind of criticism, it's nice to see the Ngoni get a win for a change. :)
