Lovely work Olyreed. The books are excellent value. Looking at the miniatures themselves they are some of the nicest sculpts I have ever seen for both sides. The castings are excellent. I hope to get some painting done on mine in the coming weeks.

Thanks Olyreed, I've used different pallettes in the past I'll give this one a go.

Great job all round.

First unit of 12 Xhosa finished with leader, the reason for the reddish looking painting is that the warrior's would cover themselves in clay paint, hope it looks okay

Well, back to this project, thought I would kick it back off with some Boers, sculpts in general were good but with some miscasts on a couple of faces, cavalry versions up next, one of them looks like a piece of his hat is missing but I'm not sure if that is on purpose
