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

Hinterland Askari firing line
