NEW Foundry Darkest Africa - Zulus!

[argsilverson]

I think I need a whole bunch of the dancing girl figure.

Alas she is available only as a part of the pack.
there is a lot of potentials in their use: remembering some other thread I think they can even find place in a cabaret show even in pulp era.

Some question: I am not familiar with what all tribes of africa looked like, maybe I know none. But I think that these villagers can be used as different tribes villagers. Forgive my ignorance and correct me please.
(In my mind I think they are pretty generic and can populate villages even not only of Zulu )

The two women wearing hats are very Zulu. The hat the lady with the stick has on is the type married Zulu women wear to special occasions. Other tribes may wear such hats too, but I'm not sure.

The others could be used for other Bantu types in south, southeast and east Africa, I reckon. It isn't just the Zulus who had izinyanga and isangoma. Everybody needs a G.P., and all of southern Africa was (and still is, to a certain extent) obessed with sorcerors, witchcraft and curses, and needs someone to fend it off for them.

I too hadn't looked at the civilians before, very nice.
Well done Ronnie says I

Another use would be the Matabele who were very similar culturally (having been amazulus themselves)

I'm surpised you managed to hold out this long...

Apparently the British have been sculpted by Rob Baker and there are loads of them. interesting to see what route they go down, ie just red coats or focus on the many colonial cavalry troops...

I have seen the British figure blisters at the Foundry on a recent visit, but am ashamed to say I can't recall what they all were, other than that there were many blisters to choose from. The command set was very nice I thought.
