28mm Colonial Africans

 Happy New Year!  All the best for 2025.

I just managed to complete these guys, part of a BnB purchase at the Recon show, before the New Year. 

Three tribesmen in horned masks and four sword and musket armed figures suitable as pirates or slavers.  These are only part of a much bigger purchase, so more to come in the New Year.

Thanks for looking.

28mm Dark Age commanders

Another break from colonials, I wrapped up these three commanders from the 28mm Foundry Arthurian range.

First up Kay or Kai/Cai.  I've envisioned him in an emerald encrusted helmet with a shield design based on the heavily stylized Uffington white horse.  Yes, that's what it's meant to be!  I was watching the LotR Return of the King movie just before, so there may be a Rohan influence there.

Next up Cador of Cornwall.  Hes wearing imperial purple, suggesting his post-Roman ancestry, which would make him suitable as Ambrosius as well.  Hes wearing a full face Late Roman cavalry helmet studded with lapis lazily, reflecting Cornwall's  early dark age trading with the Middle East and Byzantium in particular.

And, of course, no post-Roman command team would be complete without the Dux Bellorum, Arthur himself.  White appears to be his colour of choice, so he wears a white cloak and rides a white horse.

These guys work as Arthurian generals or unit commanders, but also provide service in Late Roman armies.  Arthur himself appeared in last nights game as a Late Roman general, while my opponent Dennis fielded two similar models as Frankish commanders.

Thanks for looking.
