Title: Agis Darkest Africa minis
Post by: Agis on 12 November 2017, 06:07:16 PM: Darkest Africa - Years ago when Foundry's DA range came out, I got hooked, I bought a ton of minis and painted a reasonable amount of minis.
I played many games using a homebrew 40K version and later a homemade Supersystem 2nd ed version.
Great fun!

The following minis are all from the Foundry DA range.

I am toying with the idea of selling them, but I am still unsure...

I just finished my own Zanzibari slavers today - I am pretty sure they will become very "en vogue" soonish... :D

The tribal drums, fetishes etc are (IIRC) from Monolith games.
And some huts (Not sure if I scratch build them or bought them ages ago...)

Post by: Agis on 19 November 2017, 10:32:32 AM: Thanks folks.
All true, but somehow I have to face the fact that I have not played with them for over 10 years :'( and I desperate need more space for new projects... :D

That can't be a serious argument. ;)

In fact you could only argue with unpainted lead that hasn't been touched for ten years - painted miniatures? Not at all, Agis - not at all!

Post by: Agis on 19 November 2017, 02:23:03 PM: OK, I also got "some" unpainted...

That's why it took almost 1.5 years to finally let go…

Post by: warrenpeace on 03 February 2019, 05:11:32 PM: I would have suggested using them for a half dozen games of Pulp Alley set in Africa prior to selling those. Give them a good send off. But at 10€ or more per figure, why not? Somebody will hopefully make good use of them.
