Finished the Askari.   :)





Their fearless leader…

 

The gang altogether…




Special thanks to fellow LAFFERS Svennn and Dr De'Ath for their generosity in supplying the two figures I needed to make up the group. Gentlemen both.   :)

Beautiful work. I am particularly fond of the painting on the top right one with the white fez. That face is excellent as is the shirt!

How can anyone ever mind supplying toys when you get to see them posted like this?

Absolutely splendid stuff (as always)

Wow, is that scarification on the one fellow wearing the skin over his shoulder :o?!?  Great painting on a very fierce looking group of ruffians.

Lovely work  :-*

Is the leader a conversion? I can't recall having seen him before. If he's a stock model, I must get one!

Thanks chaps.   :)

Not converted.  Kidogo from DA126 - Big Game Hunt

Yes it is Lon.  A few of the figures have scars sculpted on the faces.  I just painted them.   :)

Thanks chaps! For some bizarre reason I don't own those packs and though I've seen individual figures from them, some are completely new to me. I always wondered where people got those standard bearers from. Fool!

Wish I'd seen this before I did Triples, as I'm sure Dave Thomas would have had it in stock.

edit for not reading OT's post properly - thanks Plynkes!
