I plan on a Congo game what involves the Tsavo lions. Remember, "The Ghost and the Darkness?" See picture here
These are male with no mane. Does any company make such models in 25-28mm? Would a "standard" female lion suffice? Thanks |

I think a lioness would work – and Wargames Foundry makes them link |

Bob, I just used models from a dollar store bag of critters. |

It sounds like you want large, aggressive looking lionesses. The Foundry lioness lying down or perhaps creeping up to ambush her prey would not make the cut. Grelber |

Thanks for all the good comments. I went to Foundry and also checked local $ store. Good with former, no luck at latter. I can always count of the TMP for good info. Useful link from Grelber, thanks. |
