OK, that didn't go very well, the pictures are terrible, but the minis are painted.

Obelisk Gorillas.

More Obelisk Gorillas.

Reaper Gorilla and Foundry Adventurer.

I managed to paint the first 6 of my Zanzibari slavers.

Here's a picture:

Not much to say about the painting. Tried to make it fast and efficient.

Liking those slavers.

Your slavers are great

It is interesting to see different undertones in the whites. Somehow they all work. The green hat is especially nice.

OK, so I got the book today and I made a quick read through and so far I am delighted with this. It really seems easy, fun and fast to learn and play.

I have been toying around with my minis and the army lists and I am happy to see that my collection goes a long way already.

For the Forest Tribe list my Jungle cannibals could just barely muster the 70 points, but I did it.

1 Chieftain - Free
1 Champion - Free
1 Sacred warrior - 2pts
2 Warrior Units - 34 pts
2 Young Warrior Units - 24 pts
1 Archer Unit - 10 pts

Total: 70 pts

This doesn't give much diversity right now, but it is a playable faction. What I would like to add next was some Pygmies, Cannibals and more Characters.

For the White Man Expedition there would enough for a playable list, but again, not much diversity.

I have all characters except the flag bearer.
4 Bearers - 8 pts
1 Unit of Soldiers - 21 pts
5 Units of Trained Askari - 64 pts
1 Unit of Adventurers - 11 pts

Total: 104 pts

What I would like to add next are Normal Askaris, Young warriors and Archers.

Of course, when playing Dr. The Viking I will be able to mix these two lists and use Forest Tribe minis as Young Warriors and Archers in the White Man Expedition list.

Next I will also have to have a look at what Dr. The Viking will be bringing to the table, so we can list up his minis.

Some terrain WIP.

Jonas · « **Reply #23 on:** 22 September 2016, 09:27:03 PM »

Next steps:

Stones base painted and sand added.

Sand base painted.

Next I will drybrush the sand, paint the stones, add grass and jungle bushes.

Jonas · « **Reply #24 on:** 24 September 2016, 02:35:17 PM »

More advances in the Terrain Department.

Bases finished.

First batch of plants added.

Detail from the carved monkey mountain.

Detail from a holy rock.

The holy rock.

It is on purpose that I have only put few plants on, to start with. I have a second order of plants coming in, to mix in with these for change of look and colours. Also each base needs to be able to fit a unit within the jungle and the terrain bases are a bit on the small side, but I will try and make sure a unit of 5-7 men can fit in each terrain.

Tomorrow we will have a test game and I can see what works best for terrain and make more and finish these.

We had out first go at Congo today and it went very well. No photos of the game itself, since it involved some unpainted minis, but after the game I decided to play around with the camera and see if I could snap a few photos of my column.
