Wow, just noticed this colonial thread but the figures (human and beasts) are great as is the terrain. well done and thanks for sharing.

My goodness, I am envious to see such a magnificent table to play on. It is a round project, to the exceptional quality of the painting of the miniatures, is joined by the table, with an unbeatable scenery.

I take my hat off. Bravo

Thanks folks, appreciate the comments.

A few more pics.

Back, yet again, to peruse this thread - a bit hazardous with the bits of envious drool drops on the keyboard!  - and expect to be back more times.  So much to absorb.  One viewing is not nearly enough to pick up all the detail.

So, two comments/questions.  Any plans to create a more greenish/brown river?  I think it would enhance the setup some.  Not necessary, spectacular as is but a thought I had while looking through this time around.  You mentioned being done with human constructs but one thing I don't see - and might not be appropriate for where you imagine this setting to be but I think it probably would be given the variety of wildlife - is a boma.  So, any plans to add a boma?  I don't think I saw one in the photos - but there is so much I could have missed it.

  .  (do we need a drool icon?)

Lovely.  Just lovely!  And those elephants are big buggers.  Wouldn't want to get in their way...

Thanks much for the positive remarks. Been out of pocket for the last few weeks, been swamped with RL junk. Looking forward to some hobby goodness in the new year.

I’ve just ordered a few more packs from Foundry to plus up my Askaris, which should (for now) be enough DA figs to handle larger skirmishes with that force.

Re river color, yeah the blue/ green is not optimal, and I’ve been wanting to do something in browner tones. More in keeping with pics I’ve seen and read about (the great grey green greasy Limpopo, right?) I haven’t found the right material yet to give me the effect I’m looking for.

No boma so far - I have the raw materials and was intending to make one for the con game, but ran out of time… That RL priority thing that gets in the way.
