THe Chaos Munchkins are awesome...so different and unique...you just got to love 'em. What do you use them for gaming-wise??

The Colonel and his men look so stoic and ready for action...nice grouping!!

Best of luck to you both!!

I voted for the 2nd, but.....

The piping is not correct!

von Lettow-Vorbeck was in east africa. DOA's colour was white.
Sky blue is for SWA (namimbia nowdays).
[Cameroon has red.]

Sky blue is more pleasing to the eye, that is the reason I used for my German East African army sky blue, too!

Blue piping is correct for the clothing on all Schutztruppe forces as far as I know. It's only the hats that should have white piping for Deutsch-Ostafrika.

I'm confused...

Obviously...

You are correct! Sorry I made it not clear.

Never mind the piping, Lettow-Vorbeck deserve a vote anyway. Please tell us about this figure (mounted), is it a conversion?

Yep!

He is an Anglian Miniatures officer and horse from their Nationalist Cavalry Command (AN-NCAV03), with the head from Brigade Games Colonel Von-Lettow-Vorbeck figure in their German Schutztruppe Command (BG-WIAG04) pack, and a Redoubt hand and sword to replace the pistol the original figure was carrying.

So basically, a head and hand swap.

The reins were also added... paper.

Answer is 42 - They are old Citadel familiars that came with Chaos Sorcerors

Hitman - I haven't used them for gaming as I painted them last week for the league

I thought I recognized the little blighters from somewhere. I have one of those fellows. My favourite was the open book walking about on little legs, but he doesn't seem to be in that mob shown there.

I got mine as a pack just of familiars (no sorcerors), it had the one on stilts in it too. Can't remember what else. Maybe a little nudie demon girl, in a sort of coy pose? Or did I dream that one?

Doc Twilight · « **Reply #12 on:** June 01, 2009, 11:27:05 PM »

As a side note. Liked these both, but the Colonel is a hero of mine, so I voted for him, ultimately.

Just wanted to point out that horses in East Africa were rarely used for military purposes. The Tsetse fly was rampant, even through WW1. That's why I lobbied forever to get somebody to do German colonial troops mounted on donkeys and mules, and finally resorted to converting Foundry Belgians for the role, in some cases.

Me thinks those munchkins are trying to compensate for something.

Although I admire your steady hand Ray, in my opinion the eyes actually detract a little bit from this entry.

The shading and highlighting on the munchkins is beautiful, but it's just too darn hard to overlook the fact that they're all the same.
