I should add that these have been painted for the Iron Duke himself, Mike Snook. He will be doing his own basing and probably taking much better photos :)

Very nice painting work, sir! They look as true Comanches of the veldt!

Those are great the horses are really well done. The Basotho are certainly an interesting variation on indigenous African tribal armies.

These are great.  I will get some as soon as there are a few more items in the range - dismounted fighters, leaders etc.

I’m unfamiliar with the Basotho but this line of miniatures and your painting has really piqued my interest. Something new to research.
