« on: June 14, 2010, 06:36:03 AM »
Is there are any other tribal warriors in 15mm for Afrika games other than Zulu?

Minifigs do 4 packs of Xhosa although they are not showing in the new catalogue since Caliver took over.
Eureka do Abyssinians.
Tin Soldier also do a range for Abyssinia but they concentrated on the peripheral tribes rather than the bog standard Abyssinian foot with gun. This does mean that you can get Galla (mounted and foot), Amhara, Bana, Somali/Dankil and Masai.
Irregular also do Masai.

I presume you are not bothered about the Bedouins/Tuaregs/Mahdists?Haddendowa.

Regards
John

Ah, the age old dilemna.

I found some very good substitutes for "generic" headhunter/cannibal/Hollywood natives for Darkest Africa.

QRF "Kushites"  (with spear, primative ax, and bow)

Peter Pig "natives" in their pirate range

QRF Aborigines

I wish someone had pics of the Irregular Ashanti's and masai.


Try ancients ranges.  Especially the Muslim/pre-Muslim lines. Always some pheasant javelin men and such that can be used.\

And let us know what you find.

And then I'll post a photo.

Ancient Libians from the early Egypian periods make good African tribal warriors too.

Most of Irregular 15mm Colonials are very good.
