Just finished a 70 point Congo Column. Will add some more stuff later, once the rules are accepted with my gaming group.

Cheers guys, these were a lot of fun after two years of WW only.

Though they might seem a little (too) uniform due to the limited color palette, I liked the idea as well as the finished column. Every unit has their little distinction details and even if every unit is quite different from the others they feel like they go together.

Great work on the column.  Keeping the palette limited definitely ties them all together.  Nice work on the shields.  Good luck beating your group into playing some games....  lol

Had the best game so far yesterday. Adventure 8 is packed with chaos. Was great fun.
