African hunter-gatherers
« on: March 11, 2018, 07:38:50 PM »
I just got the Paleo Diet, eat or be eaten rules from Ganesha Games and its a nice read of what looks like a fun game.

But I wanted to do something different, instead of the more common European stone age instead choose to set my pre historical adventure in the lands of Africa...

To start this up I converted some plastic Perry Miniatures Sudanese tribesmen and gave them bows from Conquest Games plastic Medieval archers.

Nice work on the conversions! You are right, most of us game either Europe or the Americas.

In light of the recent DNA work conducted on Cheddar Man though, you could use those guys as Europeans too if you felt the inclination.

Very nice figures and idea!!  :-*

I was thinking lately on picking some zulus and sudanese frome the Perry to make two neolithical african tribes for gaming Tribal. Your figures encourage me to do so!!  ;) Great idea with the bows, by the way :-)

It's about as inconclusive as it gets.
