Congo Mercenaries

[matakishi]

these are the generic crowd fillers, I will order some actual Simbas from Britannia in the near future so I can have some 'personalities'.

Not sure of the compatability (suspect a bit different in style form Britannia) but talking to Crouchie Mongrel will be releasing some Simba and they had their first 5 Mercenaries for the COngo for sale on Saturday

I knew these were coming when I started the project but ;luckily I prefer Britannia figures

I know and to be honest the Britannia minis range is more complete too and nice to paint as well

[matakishi]

Just need basing but I'm waiting for my Basetex which didn't arrive today so won't be here until after Easter now. Oh well, time to make some jungle maybe...

[Ray Rivers]

Wooo...

There is going to be some serious firefights in the Congo...

Looking great!

 a rumble in the jungle (or has that been used before)

ps add Che Guevara as an advisor for the Simba's

[v_lazy_dragon]

They're looking really good so far - looking forward to seeing them finished!

[matakishi]

All done.



I'll be buying some Britannia Simbas in the near future to use as personalities, these guys are just filler for the crowd scenes
There's a close up here: http://www.matakishi.com/wildgeese.htm but there's nothing special about the painting, they were done fast (and loose) as befits a horde.

Love this project and first time i've seen it

Will be doing the same thing in 15mm for this year for FOF when i finally get a new place to live. Have got the Jeeps and trucks (Skytrex) ready to paint up in the collection. Will be using Peter Pig for most of the infantry
