Got it and 3 of the Foundry figure packs. I make it 78 points of white men (with the bearers from set 5) and 71 points of African kingdoms. Some of the units could be used for either side. The 4, 5 or 6 unit size does not fit well with foundry packs. Perhaps to expand a pack of pygmy archers and 1 of pygmy spear for 2 units of 6 (the archers are half units of 3). This would be nice for a forest kingdom base, made up to strength with African kingdon units. 8 musket types could be used as various units, size 4 to 6. Another unit of spear as young braves (size 5) is tempting. That is 4 packs at £48.00 GBP plus postage and an average of 2 figures per pack 'wasted'. Buying the full forest kingdom pack could be a better buy although more pygmies would be nice. Discuss … |

Luckily I have enough in the lead pile to do three of the groups with Zanzibaris already painted. Do you belong to a club thats getting into this as you could sell or swap the excess figures. |
