Hinterland shows some skin…

You don’t know how long I’ve been wanting to say that – heh heh.  Intended to complement the sailors, I present three packs of native Askari forces, including the command pack, a somewhat varied characters pack, and a unit builder pack.  The Askari are led by a junior naval officer who seems to have gone a little native.







See them here:

I intend to commission an Askari Maxim crew as part of my next order, as well as some more uniformly dressed skirmishers.  In other good news, additional greens, including more Trench Raiders, are already on their way across the pond, so there won’t be as big a gap between releases this time.  Thanks for your interest.

Oh how lovely!!

These are spectacular!!

How about some other views of that command group?

My Yucatecan adventures seem to have veered recently, towards the Far Mysterious East, does Afrika now beckon?

Oh I hope not...

Always good to see a new Hinterland release, 
Lovely stuff as always, and good to see more releases planned

[Sterling Moose]

Very nice.  I particularly like the middle group.

Nice, nice, nice ... uhhh .. I am in my bunk!

Thanks for all the positive feedback.  With the exception of the mule, which is eBob stuff, it's sculpted by Paul.  I'll try to post some additional pics of the command group later in the day.

Oh, Dahomey is the last piece missing in Your Akari collection? 

btw, great sculpts by mr Hicks, as usual

Don't even get me thinking about West Africa, you rascal

(I admit that I saw these and thought 'Dahomey!!!')

I do need to work on Hinterland for the next 'Army Painter'. I'm getting a shameful unpainted pile of them.

I can't wait to see these painted.  I'm working on the characters pack right now, but I have so little time, and I'm the slowest painter in the world.

I am looking forward to your interpretation  
I must admit that my history head and knowledge of german spirit does not combine imperial navy, army, and guard hussarettes with bare chested Askarettes wearing french style sashes, but the idea is askew enough to not feel wrong but be attractive and interesting. And the character types are definitely Dahomey.

But who knows, maybe it will lure @Michi into that domain  

this is a hell of a range You have put together, @Mancha, I draw my hat!

I admit, I kind of make it up as I go.
