African Warrior Women
Tribal Women Warriors by Wargames Foundry
I chose a black & white scheme for the shields
The shield designs were influenced by Masai shields
I was invited to play with a group that liked large units
So right off the bat, I needed 100 warriors
Luckily, Foundry was still selling the regiment packs
The face of this shield is one of my favorites
I added red to the leaders’ shields
The Foundry figures, both male & female give a “horde” look to the units
Another group shot
This photo was inspired by the movie Zulu
The female archers are by Copplestone Castings
The Copplestone archers are from accounts of Ngoni women
Here are examples of the round shields
One shield reminds me of the Pepsi logo
I love the “dent” in this shield, she looks like she’s issuing a challenge
Examples of wicker shields
Warriors with flat shields like the Zulu
Warriors with muskets
This picture was to show off one of the Foundry lions
Leaping Lion!
These maidens were sculpted by Obelisk Miniatures
Young maidens
Warriors in front of an Old Glory hut
Female Askari by Hinterland Miniatures
I like the red-orange I mixed for the Askari
