Me, myself and I in the Dark Continent - new update after 5 years...

[Mason]

Glad you’re back at it 

+1

What's five years after all? 

+2.

Indeed, what is five years when it is a thread like this that is revisited?

More painted DA miniatures is always a good thing.

[huntersmoon]

Absolutely loving the figures, very inspiring work.

[Dr. Moebius]

Thank you all for your kind comments.

I have spend the last few days to paint more Arabs and made quite a lot of pictures of the collection with scenery shots as well.

Allied tribes have reported a major Arab attack on an Force Publique outpost in the near future...



 

[Dr. Moebius]

Compagnie en evant!

Baron Dhanis orders his troops to a counter attack.

[Dr. Moebius]

From which direction will they attack?

[Dr. Moebius]

The Congo Arab force of Sheik Sefu so far. I've managed to add 8 new bases to the force.
Plenty more will be needed. 4 bases of Balushi coming next.

Thanks.
No,  he is just out of the blister from Foundry Askaris Casualties. I have added the arrow and put the miniature next to the dead tree. That's it.

Still, it's a blinder of a little vignette

What did you use for the dead tree? Gorgeous thread, which I only just found. I’m ashamed to say that my 200 strong darkest Africa forces are all still in boxes. But you have inspired me.

After five years I forgot about this thread myself to be honest 😃. I was scrolling the Colonials page a few minutes ago and was wondering about what my miniatures are doing here 😂.

The dead tree? No idea, something I found in my „got it from my garden“ bits box.

Glad you like the thread and that it inspires you. Maybe time to get back to Death in Dark Continent myself.

Best

I did a conversion to depict the infamous warlord Mirambo! many moons ago. Just saw that I never posted him here.

Maybe I will paint him up this year and some more Ruga Ruga‘s as well.

Cheers
