Okay... another askari unit added!

Also painted up a couple more Europeans to bring my Schützenkompagnie up to 10 men.

Getting there... slowly.

Think I may do something different next...

Really nice...

I love the vibrant colors. The yellowish-tan is very striking.

Individual that aren't the greatest, but as a ~~mob~~ army, altogether, they are looking fairly good.

What else have you still to add to the army?

Soon, when I have another unit or so finished.

Let's see...

2 x Feldkompagnien (askaris) units
1 x Schützenkompagnie (europeans) unit
1 x Machine gun unit (2 machine guns)
1 x Artillery gun
A bunch of porters

I pretty much have all the figures... just need to put my nose down and get them painted.

Going to take a short break (with a couple different units) though to keep my painting mojo going but will return quickly to finish the army.

Ray, I am really enjoying seeing this come together. I will probably never get around to doing this period(I'd like to) so its great to see you build your force. They look terriffic too.

Ray Rivers · « **Reply #67 on:** September 15, 2009, 06:10:53 PM »

Thanks Nick.

I'm really enjoying putting them together... I'm really crazy about Africa right now.

Of course I also have a devious plan (which I have not made public) which one day will be unleashed on an unsuspecting world... not necessarily our own.

Yep. Looking very good Ray

Particularly like the character third from the left in the slouch hat. Nice pose, nice looking figure.
Are these Mike Owen sculpts for Brigade?

Yes, that is a Brigade Games figure from the WIAG08 German Askari in shapeless hats pack and sculpted by Mike Owen.

I agree. The look is stunning.

What colors/paint brands are you using?

I'm using my home recipe triad:

- Foundry Base Sand (base color)
- Foundry Spearshaft Light (shade)
- Foundry Base Sand Light (light)

The key color is the Spearshaft Light (the shade) which gives a browner effect to the normally a bit too yellowish (for these uniforms) Base Sand color.

Thanks for the kind words guys and gals.

And yep... these figures from Brigade Games are right up there in detail allowing easy painting and with all the different poses... they look great.

When you get to gaming with these chaps do you know what ruleset you'll be using?
