I've just completed my Britannia Simba figures.





There are more photos and details, background etc here:
http://www.matakishi.com/simbas.htm

They will be fighting my Mercenaries of course



and will be getting support from my standard African Militia types.



Next on the list are some African Warlords and their followers :)

Awesome! Just today, I was thinking about getting "The Mercenaries" on DVD (not entirely coincidental, as I'm painting a squad of MarkEvans' Near Future Mercs in a pseudo-jungle camo uniform scheme).

Love your stuff Paul. Always a pleasure to see your projects.

I'm hoping the Mongrel uniformed Simbas will be out soon so I too can blaze a trail across the Congo (for a price, of course…) lol

Great job on the figures!!!!

Great stuff Paul. I'm very slowly building my collection for this period and this keeps the enthusiasm going.
Don't!
