Tribal Africa

[Notts Gamer]

just a small update.
Some Baboons acting as bystanders and extra spice to the gaming table.

First on LAF with these ?


I just finished a new tribe. Jungle Cannibals from North Star.

A small skull pile. Strange skulls…
A small religious symbol on a pile of skulls, must be some kind of moon cult living here?
And a small furry thing, is it alive or just a small puppet?

No one really knows and if I use them differently in each game the players will be wary for these addition to the battle fields… Never knowing what to expect, if its looks dangerous its safer to stay away…

Simba ?

The miniature are based on a standard Flames of war base.

Im not sure what stats to give him in Hail Caesar.
But I plan to use him as either a terrain piece or as neutral unit that attacks using only his initiative order.  So if one player ventures to close to the lion he will get angry and attack, it they leave him bee he will mostly sleep under a tree or something.

It could work.

I needed some huts for my african tribes.

Really some great additions to your figures.
Great looking huts. Love them.

African Death cult.
(I think I could need a better name for them later. )

Maybe not historical correct but i think its hard to prove they didn´t exist somewhere some time.

Many many more pictures > http://kampgruppe-engel.blogspot.se/2012/11/african-death-cult.html  thought they deserved lots of pictures.







The miniatures are converted Perry plastic Africans.

Wow great stuff all 'round, but I really dig the first model, the queen. That's a great figure and the paint work you put on it is excellent.

These look the business - history be DAMNED!! Nice conversions.

Where are the skulls from?

LOVE the death cult

This is one of the great things about the LAF, you look at someone's work for a period or location you normally have little interest in and not only are you hugely impressed by the quality on display, you also leave thinking 'how good would it be to do that!'. Lovely work and some great gaming ideas.

You paint your miniatures to a right sinister look. I like them.

Me and my friend Peter had another go at my African tribal war using the Hail Caesar rules.

A good game but I got my ass handled to my at the end.
http://kampgruppe-engel.blogspot.se/2012/11/tribal-wars.html

Here are a small pick of some of the pictures of it.











Special rules for this game was that all miniature could choose to either deploy in closed rank or open order given the small size of the tribal conflicts and the difficulties with the intervening terrain.

The Zulus and the Bushongo models equipped with large shields were given the special rule of given the enemy -1 to hit at ranged attack in closed rank, the same rule as heavy infantry.








Some after thoughts:

I think that the altered stats from previous games are a lot better. Im not totally sure about the Zulus so some tinkering to the next game may be in order.
The lion worked surprisingly good and I think he will be used I many games to come, maybe some small altering of stats.

Any thoughts on the game or tips on how I could alter the stats, give units special rules or something else is appreciated. So next game can be even better. All the pictures from the game can be found at my blog for those interested.
Thanks for looking.
