Did they say what sort? I'm in the process of converting some figures into Batetela, Basoko and so on.

Would be just my luck if they were doing them. This always happens to me.  lol

Mate all they said in the original announcement was this:
Coming Soon.
Gun Crews for 1672.
Jungle Cannibals for North Star Africa!
18th Century North American Indians from Crusader Mins. (Yes, as well as the Musket and Tomahawk figures).
Austrian Infantry for 1866.
Mounted French Foreign Legion officers.

BUT in a facebook post answering a question about whether they had modelled specific tribes they also said:
North Star Military Figures We've used images of the Congo tribes Stanley came across as our initial inspiration, and we intend to go a bit over the top with some of the next packs.

Am I really sad for hopping up and down in excitement over this?  :o :D

p.s. I need to have a sit down and think of what tribes I want so i can get you to start converting them and then surely some manufacturer will do them for the rest of us!  ;D :D

The curse of Plynkes strikes again :D  I think it just goes to show that you are always just one step ahead of the rest of the gaming world ;)

Good news, Theo. Although truth be told, the FFL mounted officers and 1672 gun crews are of greater interest to me than the cannibals.

That’s so true lol

Maybe Plynkes should start a thread telling us what are his forthcoming projects so we can all know what figures manufactures are going to release next ;)

Okay, then. Sitting on my table right now conversion-wise are:

Mutinous Tetela askaris, Soko and other Aruwimi tribes, Wahehe, Watuta (some conversions done for variation), Wissmanntruppe, Sudanese Camel Corps, KAR, two Alan Quatermains, one young Prince Cetshwayo kaMpande*, and a partridge in a pair tree.


Look for these in all good shops soon, then.  ;)






*Barely qualifies as a conversion, that one. A Warlord Zulu with a feather glued to his headband.

I can't believe I spelled Allan Quatermain incorrectly.

That's justification for being thrown off Colonial Adventures, I reckon.

<snip> and a partridge in a pair tree.

All kinds of equal opportunity sexual innuendoes there but I will limit myself to a simple correction "...pear tree.""

AAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

I'm going to marmalise Mr Eyre when i see him next. He's never forgiven me for using his Matabele as Soko Cannibals  lol

Its a ruse i tell you to force me to start a Matabele army and buy more cannibals. Now there's a thought ...   :D

Shocking awful spelling there, I agree. Two mistakes in one post, and I never even caught the second. I blame Thatcher getting rid of free school milk in the 70s. As a schoolboy I was so damn thirsty I couldn't concentrate on my spelling or times tables.

I have let down the LAF. There's only one way to make this right. The revolver in my desk drawer...

If its a .38 Smith & Wesson could you have it posted on to me.  I've always wanted one. There's a good chap  :D

I rather like the idea of a pair tree ... [ahem]
